What You're Doing This Weekend

Oh the times you will have.

Thursday:
Water City Grill hosts blueheels, starting at 8:45p. (Well, according to the Water City myspace page. According to the blueheels page, they're going to be in Chicago. I guess we'll see.) Cranky's in Oshkosh is starting a Thursday night music series tonight with Lana Albright and a friend at 9:30p. Both go until about midnight.

Friday:
The New Moon has what looks to be a fantastic show starting around 8p (I think). Mr. Tim Schweiger and his Middlemen start things off; following are The Reptoids from Chicago and Milwaukee group The Box Social, who very likely have a myspace page but I haven't found it yet.

Saturday:
Only one choice tonight (unless you like metal, then go to the Palace for A Tortured Soul and Effluvium). Peabody's Ale House hosts Jeremy & The Jupiters, Drop Dead Giants and Attack Octopus, starting at 9:30p.

Special Bonus:
The Wandering Sons (or Cory Chisel & The Wandering Sons as they are unfortunately known these days) perform a show with the Oshkosh North High School Band Thursday night at 8p. Of course, their myspace page has them in Rockford about an hour later that same night…but check The Northwestern's site for a story about the show. So, I think this one is probably happening.

Late Notice. Sorry. Go Anyway.

Monday night (2/12) at the Reptile Palace hosts The Rounders, a fantastic band from Oklahoma City. A little bit rock, a little bit blues, a little bit garage and a little bit awesome. Check out their influences on their page. That's what you call "stellar".

Last time these guys came through town they sparked a weekly blues night at the Palace that lasted over a year, up until Adam left town. I picked up their second album that night and continue to listen to it regularly. Bring some cash and pick it up. Then buy their new one. Maybe a T-shirt.
