Brave Combo!

Thank you, NPulsifer, for dinner and a lovely evening at Davey's enjoying the Brave Combo Holiday extravaganza. As always, they provided a high-energy show, this time full of unique takes on holiday classics ("Winter Wonderland" as a stripper song, anyone?). If you are in the St. Louis area, catch them tomorrow at the Casa Loma Ballroom. Chicagoans, hie thee hence to Fitzgerald's on Saturday for the best show you will see anytime soon.

And remember to ask the bass player if it's true he was rescued from a gig in a Mister Mister cover band.

Do it, damnit!

Friday "Hey, Santa, Pass Us That Bottle, Will Ya?" Random 10+
