Monday Night Smile: Brian Glaze & The Night Shift, Bridez,

I was so busy being down south I almost fo’got ta mentuhn that tonight is Monday Night SMiLE! You know we love SMiLE, Neil, and The Knockout. You also know we love Bridez; so tonight is going to be a good one:

This Monday June 2, you should leave the house with your eyes shut and wander aimlessly like a somnambulist. Without fail, your feet will carry you to the Knockout where you can safely open your eyes and take in the spectacle of smiling faces and dancing bodies. What will be the cause of the merriment?

At around 9:30pm, Frond will take the stage. They are composed of Amy and Andrew who used to be in Tapestry together (also known as Shag Tapestry) with the addition of Jesse from Bramble & Briar. This is bound to be delightful!

An hour or so after this, the heavy and fun rock of Bridez will spin through your head. They filled a bill for me last month in a pinch, and I was so dazzled by them I invited them back right away. Liza’s best band to date, and a really hot one! (A hot date?)

Sometime before midnight, I will introduce the headlining act, namely Brian Glaze and the Night Shift. I’ll save my flowery rhetoric for that moment, and simply say that this is one of the most enjoyable, solid acts around.

So don’t miss this show. It’d just be dumb. The drinks are cheap, the bartenders are friendly, and I’ll be playing all manner of groovy tunes before, between, and after the bands.

Also: Pam (from Sugar & Gold) will be guest dj!

The Knockout is at 3223 Mission near 29th street.

xox,
Neil

Except for the fact that I’m super tired because I couldn’t get to sleep last night, I think tonight is finally the night I’m not going to bail early because I’m exhausted and stick around for Brian Glaze. I mean it! Promises!
