PLAN A: The Tighten Ups @ Ruby Room. Tribute band? Soul/R&B revival trend-jumpers? Who cares, Laura Jane’s voice is the real deal, and they’re fun as shit. PLAN B: “BIKE LANE” @ Tin Can Ale House. You ever seen a bunch of fixed-gear hipsters compete on exercise bikes while chugging Pabst? Well, here you go. Enjoy. BACKUP PLAN: The Blackout Party @ Riviera Supper Club.–Initially forgot about this one. Thank the master, Rosey, for reminding me.
Jesus, I told mama. Please stop yelling at me:
