This is the BEST NIGHT of the Blowout! Lot’s of great bands and too little time. But here are my picks:

Wolfbait 10:40pm @ Small’s
Lightning Love 11:00pm @ The Belmont
Gorevette 11:20pm @ K of C Lounge
Chapstik 11:40pm @ Small’s
The Readies Midnight @ K of C Hall
Los Vikings Del Muerto 12;20am @ Kelly’s Bar
Scotch Bonnet 12:40am @ Atlas Bar
OR
Bluesong 12:40am @ Small’s
The Detroit Cobras 1:00am @ K of C Hall

Keep in mind that Blowout schedules are very tight and rarely on time. Unfortunately, it’s impossible to see them all. These are MY picks, bands I think are worth seeing. The rest of the schedule is available from Metro Times.
