AFTER FRIDAY, THERE’S EVEN MORE CHILL STUFF TO ENJOY

So, once Friday has finished destroying you and you’ve had your traditional Saturday breakfast of coffee and Steak-N-Eggs, what are you going to do with yourself?! Well, if you’re like us, you’re totally on top of everything and don’t even remotely need the weekend to accomplish such man-tasks as gardening, re-paving the driveway or dredging the moat. So, for those of you rudderless scooners out there, we’re more than happy to provide a keel and a compass for how the weekend should go down. Dig:

SATURDAY AFTERNOON: SECRET SATURDAY SHOW
This weekend is the first of what we are told by the mystery organizer (who, rumor and IP address has it, is none-other than local solo-rocker Broman) will be a weekly series of shows on Saturday afternoons at the Shady Tavern, a total neighborhood ice-house of a spot in the Heights. Every week they’ll be DJs (starting at noon) and 3-4 bands (starting at 2pm) – but who they are will remain a mystery until they hit the stage. Indeed, the bands themselves won’t even know who else is playing. The shows are free and 21+. We would say check out their MySpace page for more information, but not having any is kind of the point.

EARLY EVENING: PUNK HOUSE @ DOMY BOOKS
Writer/photographer Abby Banks brings her book and movie Punkhouse to Domy. Punkhouse, which was edited by Thurston Moore, “features anarchist warehouses, feminist collectives, tree houses, workshops, artists’ studios, self-sufficient farms, hobo squats, community centers, basement bike shops, speakeasies, and all varieties of communal living spaces.” So, sort of like if someone made a coffee table book about Nevada Street, Lamar House and Faegen House. They’ll also be acoustic sets from Tim Finden and Pat the Bunny. Good opportunity to pick up the next Grey Ghost release too(which is 13 new freaking tracks from Golden Axe!!!!). 7pm. Free.

NITE TIME: DON CABELLERO, BLADES, ANIMAL @ THE PROLETARIAT
Betcha thought we were gonna suggest the Bodog Battle of the Bands! You know us so well.

SUNDAY: FOG, LISTEN LISTEN, THE DIMES @ THE PROLETARIAT
The reason why The Dimes make sense on this bill: They are bad ass. Same for Listen Listen.
