Wednesday, October 17<\/strong>
\nLess than Jake, Reel Big Fish, Flatfoot 56<\/strong>
\nClub 919, $25\/29.50, 9:30 pm<\/strong>
\nI know a couple guys named Jake. I worked with one many years ago. He\u2019s an Aussie. Nice guy, but at the time he wasn\u2019t really the hardest worker. I had a bit of seniority on him, so I never made less than Jake. He followed a girl that he met in some faraway land back here to Victoria, then got dumped like yesterday\u2019s compost. He stuck it out for a while but eventually headed back down under.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Thursday, October 18<\/strong>
\nFred Penner<\/strong>
\nFelicita\u2019s @ UVic, $10, 8 pm<\/strong>
\nIf you like sandwiches, you\u2019ll love Fred Penner, and at this show you can enjoy him with no screaming kids in the house!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Thursday, October 18<\/strong>
\nBalconies, Acres of Lions<\/strong>
\nLucky Bar, $10, 8 pm<\/strong>
\nI wonder where Balconies are staying while they\u2019re in town? You\u2019d think they would put a clause in their contracts about always having a room with a balcony, right? I mean, it just makes sense. Why call your band that and then not milk it? I sure would.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Friday, October 19<\/strong>
\n54\u201340, Grapes of Wrath<\/strong>
\nRoyal Theatre, $34.50, 7 pm<\/strong>
\nA friend of mine used to work on the Ocean Pearl. He fished for tuna, cod, and whatever else he could get his nets on. I\u2019ve had a few friends try their hand at commercial fishing over the years. One buddy even experienced his first dead body out on a fishing trip. From what I understand, there\u2019s a lot of hard work involved in fishing on the high seas. I\u2019d imagine that there\u2019s a different kind of hard work involved in keeping a band together for 30 years.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Monday, October 22<\/strong>
\nBig Sugar, Willi Wiliams, Balconies<\/strong>
\nClub 919, $26, 7 pm<\/strong>
\nI\u2019ve tried on a few occasions to enjoy my coffee without sugar. I used to have both cream and sugar in my coffee until I realized that it was making my nose run. Seriously. I\u2019d sit at a coffee shop, having a java, and not 15 minutes later I\u2019d be blowing my schnoz. I realized that I had removed so much milk from my diet that I\u2019d become lactose intolerant. I compensated for the lack of cream with extra sugar. Big sugar. \u201cI don\u2019t want no sugar in my coffee. It makes me mean.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Tuesday, October 23<\/strong>
\nJason Collett, Bahamas<\/strong>
\nSt. Ann\u2019s Auditorium, $21.50, 7 pm<\/strong>
\nThese days it really seems like I\u2019ve got this broken social scene. I mean, I\u2019m married with children, so it\u2019s not like I wanna go out running all over town. Well, maybe once in a while. I\u2019d like to squeeze some fun live shows into my schedule somehow. Hell, my kids are asleep by 9-ish anyway. My wife probably wouldn\u2019t like it if I started sneaking out of the house to go have fun without her, though. Fun\u2026 in the sun. Maybe somewhere warm. I\u2019ve never seen Bahamas.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Friday, October 26<\/strong>
\nOld Man Luedecke, Grey Kingdom<\/strong>
\nSt. Ann\u2019s Auditorium, $18.50, 7 pm<\/strong>
\nI used to love Scooby Doo. That silly beast was always running around, scared out of his wits. I love that van the gang drove, too. The Mystery Machine? What a sweet ride. Whenever I see one of those old, stubby-nosed vans cruising around, no matter what kind of shape it\u2019s in, I just wanna drive it. There\u2019s always a crotchety, timeworn bad guy cursing them at the end. \u201cI could\u2019ve done it, too, if it wasn\u2019t for those meddling kids,\u201d says Old Man Luedecke.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Saturday, October 27<\/strong>
\nKyprios and the Chaperones, Rocky Mountain Rebel Music, DJ Verse<\/strong>
\nSopranos, $14.50\/$16.50, 7 pm<\/strong>
\nIt\u2019s always tough when special days of the year like Halloween fall in the middle of the week. Everyone loves to throw a shindig, but then there\u2019s the dilemma of finding a good day to party. Is the Friday before too early? Or just damn the torpedoes and throw your rager smack dab in the middle of the week and see who comes out? These guys aren\u2019t messing around. Pick your own superhero and get your groove on. And always damn those torpedoes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
