Monday nights are typified by being the first night after work / school / sleeping all day every week. Usually there’s no good reason to leave whatever domicile you tend to reside in. Tonight is an exception, and a big one. Heed my warning.

The night starts with Kalamazoo’s newest old band, Night Wired. Newest old, because Night Wired is a slightly reorganized Tiny Rhythm, except their bassist headed on for greener pastures, and the legendary maracca player Gitis Baggs has taken up that position. Now they play spooky surf revival tunes, and it is good.

The middle of the evening belongs to Kalamazoo’s UFO Dictator’s Legendary Wings, old-school punk for your old-school punk heart. Enough said. Rock it.

Finally, Ireland has SO COW on loan for the evening. Punky surfy do-woppy goodness from across the big pond. They’re pretty rockin’. Don’t take my word for it though, check out what Pitchfork has to say about it. I’ll be there jockin, so you better be there rockin. See you tonight.
