Tonight is Tiki Tuesday at the Elbow Room

"Tiki Tuesday"
Elbow Room, 6 S. Washington, Ypsilanti:
Exotic sounds from forgotten realms of mystery and adventure. Exotica, Surf and Intoxica!

Featuring: Belly Dancing by Aurora, magic from Scarboni the totally radical awesomest and Live Music from the Tiki Tuesday band.

Bloody Hell!!!!

This is a quick'n. Just wanted to alert all punk/oi fans to the best thing to hit Chicago in years.

Cock Sparrer is playing 2 dates at Riot fest in Chicago this October. This is something worth traveling for. Anyone who knows anything about Britain's punk/oi scene knows this band. And they are, coincidentally, my favorite.

Go to the site. Get tickets. This is going to be a great show.
