Hey guys,
It looks like there are some pretty good shows coming up this weekend. Friday has the most choices I have seen in a while, and you can’t go wrong wherever you end up. There are a couple of good Pussy shows, with Pussy Launcher at the Wormhole and Black Pussy at the Jinx. There is also a big event at the House of Gunt, an all night dance party to benefit the Savannah Riverkeeper. There are plenty of good bands playing at that show, too many to list, just check out the House of Gunt Facebook page for a listing of all the bands. There are two very good bands playing at Barrelhouse South that night, Steppin Stones and Josh Robert & The Hinges. If you like good old rock and roll, I would recommend trying to catch at least one of those bands (preferably both of them). One of my favorite party bands, the Hypnotics, will be playing at Molly MacPherson’s on Friday night also.
There are plenty of choices on Saturday, but you should really try to catch Hammond B3 legend Ike Stubblefield at Barrelhouse South. And don’t forget, the weekend doesn’t end on Sunday (after all, this is Savannah), there is a punk show at the Jinx on Monday, and it looks like it should be exciting. With all of these choices and the good weather ahead, there is no reason not to head out this week. I hope to see you around somewhere and be sure to say “hello”.
