We’re not quite sure what’s going on, but we’re not here to complain about it. Our local music venues are housing some great shows in the upcoming weeks. It could be that we’re just a dusty stop along the trail, but we’d like to think the scene is on the up and up here. If you’re a Clevelander and reading this site, get your ass out there to support these bands. We’ll be bringing our business cards to the show, so don’t be surprised if you leave the Beachland palming a two-of-clubs with ‘Citizen Dick’ dymo-taped to the back. We’re not claiming to be cheap bastards, but the next Black Label is always in our thoughts.
February 28 – DD/MM/YYYY and Don Caballero – The Grog Shop
March 1 – Harlem Shakes and Tokyo Police Club – The Grog Shop
March 2 -Deer Tick and Jason Isbell – Beachland Ballroom

We’ve got some possible interviews in the works and will be writing reviews for most, if not all, of these shows. Lots of great things blowing through the Cuyahoga Valley the next couple of months. We’re not quite sure if we’ll see something as sweet as the bands we’ve posted below, but nonetheless, we’ll be there with bells on. TGIF, musical brethren.
Magma – I’m unsure of the title, but this was twittered by Rain Wilson the other day. Shit yourself at the 1:40 mark like Diamond Jim did.
Morris Day and The Time – Brian was singing this all day yesterday and annoying me. We pay homage by posting the vid.
