FRIDAY:
>>> Spanks a lot, and thanks for the mammaries! Spank Rock at the Troc with Plastic Little and every other so-and-so you know. This show just got white hot, so we banged on the wall and asked Tommy Up what the dilly was: Over 500 presold already, so get while the gettin’s good and do the walk-up on the way home from workyo.
>>> Over at Johnny Brenda’s, Ben Dickey and Drew Mills of the Blood Feathers get to pickin’ and a-grinnin’ with pals Dance Old Scarecrow. If we could somehow make a new genome out of “hoedown” and “jumpoff,” this would be it.
>>> Hands & Knees, this week with our favorite post-punk soul man Gregg Foreman aka The Rooster, doing that thing that he does. The M Room.
SATURDAY:
>>> If you have dog, if you know a dog, if you love a dog, you will get out into the crisp afternoon air of Hancock Street and get down with our Dog Olympics! It is not an olympics as such ‚Äî ‘cos dogs don’t take steroids, fool ‚Äî but rather a celebration of all things dog. Peep the dog trick contest, wash yer little buddy in the dog-wash, make Rover a cape for the Doggie Cape Parade, and if you are human, enjoy free hot dogs and beer as Ashy K spins dogsexjams and there’s smiles all around. 2-7pm, more info at the Series 1021 MySpace page.
>>> Meanwhile, right across the street, there’s the Taste Of Liberties Walk event, another fun NoLibs outdoor jam in which grub is had, bands play, non-food stores rock special sidewalk sales and more. Won’t you be my neighbor, neighbor?
>>> We have seen absolute zero press on this and for the life of us, we cannot figure out why: The Zombies headline the Little Steven’s Underground Garage blowout at The TLA. LSUG is among the best ‚Äî and there are many ‚Äî reasons to listen to WMGK, and The Zombies (geeknote: featuring both Rod Argent and Colin Bluntstone) were like the Beatles for smart people. Sleep on this one at your own peril.
>>> Bleached Black is back at Medusa, so sweat it.
>>> Plus: Ex-Moldy Peach/certified Jessica Simpson stalker Adam Green and Kurt Vile at the Troc Balcony.
>>> And finally, a little something called The Return Of Psychedelphia — we never knew it went away, hoss! — with The Sky Drops, House of Fire & The Asteroid #4. 8pm, $7, LAVA Space, 4134 Lancaster Ave.
SUNDAY:
>>> Dept. of If You’ve Got $500 Laying Around: The Raconteurs and Dr. Dog at House of Blues AC. Longhairs all know that money means nothing, and what better way to prove it?
>>> The Wire.
