Tonight, at Fitzgerald’s! Some great bands are playing, and you’d be wise to be there. Doors are at 7:30 pm, and tickets are $10.
“Nothing Here Seems Strange” Release Show
I’d just like to say that you’d be a fool to miss this show. On top of the stellar antics that are Buxton, I’d like to enter into evidence this video of Featherface performing ABBA’s “Fernando.”

This ought to be a great show.
Fat Tony came onstage around 10:30 p.m. and killed it, as per usual. He did that thing where he raps like he’s having a conversation with someone.
