Friday night show recommendations

Where I go out Friday night and tell you where, for no particular reason. Early edition, since we made our plans a few days ago.

Tonight at Beerland, just like last week we'll be there for Mr. Lewis and the Funeral Five doing a happy hour show, though they are going to hit the stage around 8:30. Last week there were a lot of people there, and this week I hope there's even more because I'm dragging a bunch of friends there to see them. The closing band is a really fun band called the Trangressors, who are just over the top enough that one of the guitarists can get away with wearing sunglasses on stage. Their sound is hard to pin down--one minute they sound like The Jam, the next like a garage band, and next they are doing something rockabilly-flavored. And that's why I like them.

That's all I got for you tonight. But that's the only place to be tonight, so that works out well.
