I STILL LIKE SKA. Tonight at the Strutt, Chicago’s Deals Gone Bad will be skanking the night away with Montreal’s the BeatDown and locals the Mushmen.

Longtime Kalamazoo troubador Glenn Willis will be taking his Bastards far far away from the ‘zoo, all the way to Oregon. If you’re the sort of person that enjoys whiskey breath, rattlin’ chains, unchecked aggression, and banjos, be sure and head to 1310 Merrill Street at 10 pm tomorrow to have your fill. Good News, Kids on Fire, Branden Mann & the Reprimand, and Timmy Held will provide support.

If “Glennerd” ain’t yer bag, Memphis alt-country rockers Lucero will cook the Strutt tomorrow, along with Empty Orchestra and the Wildfire. These guys have been working hard for years, and it has paid off. A series of successful albums, sold-out tours with big acts, and tons of rave reviews have followed. Frontman Ben Nichols even co-stars in MTV’s “$5 Cover,” a quasi-fictionalized series about the Memphis independent music scene. Should be nuts.
