Wait. Who the hell is going to head out for music when March Madness is going on?!?! Jusssssst kidding. You best be gettin’ out there to support all the great things going on this weekend. And what are those great things? Man, we’re so glad you asked. We have a brand new addition to our Thursday slate this evening as the Thursday Jazz Jam is going down at something called Le Parc Bistro. Fancy’s the word. Spin’s the verb. The Southern Charm Band, who we keep hearing about, is showing up at Hard Times Cafe. For those who don’t know about Hard Times Cafe … try the wings! And the chicken wrap! Elsewhere, Brulee is making their Beans In The Belfry debut, and we spoke with them earlier this week about as much. The great Dale & The Z-Dubs – and we do mean great – will be reggae-n and rollin’ all over Cafe Nola, too, and really: Check those dudes out (they’re also above these words). Ted Garber will be around. Drop Dead Sexy will be droppin’ and deadin’ and sexyin’. There’s On The Bus. There’s our good friends in Hard Swimmin’ Fish. There’s Faith In June. There’s the Amish Outlaws. And, of course, The Woo Yeahs!! Notice the two exclamation points. Have you enjoyed our SXSW pseudo-coverage? We hope so. Big old thanks goes out to Cassandra Mullinix and the Bucket Of Rock Blog. April is right around the corner. And in April, it is someone’s birthday. But we won’t say who. We love you dearly, friends. Keep rocking. Keep rolling.
