\n<\/em>Logan\u2019s Pub, 9:30 pm
\nJason Lee skateboarded to a song by a band called Milk back in Video Days<\/em> circa 1991. I\u2019m willing to bet that none of the guys in the Victoria version have ever even heard of them. They recorded a tune called \u201cThe Knife Song\u201d and then never bothered to record anything after that. It\u2019s really too bad. With deeply meaningful lyrics like, \u201cIt\u2019s about a beer, it\u2019s about a man, it\u2019s about a girl,\u201d their career could\u2019ve skyrocketed. Instead the lead singer just ended up creating some TV show that became a movie with a couple sequels. Big whoop. I think it was called Donkey?<\/em> No, wait a second, Jackass,<\/em> that\u2019s it.<\/p>\n

\nBonobo, Monolithium, Shrew
\n<\/em>Sugar Nightclub, $20, 9 pm
\nI loved ninja movies as a kid. Kung fu flicks, too. It didn\u2019t matter how terrible the acting was in American Ninja,<\/em> the disappearing smoke and the ninja stars ruled. They used to have classic kung fu on early Sunday mornings on one of the random Detroit TV channels we could pick up. I could never get enough. Five Deadly Venoms,<\/em> The 36th Chamber of Shaolin,<\/em> Magnificent Butcher.<\/em>.. It didn\u2019t matter who was in the movie, it only mattered that there was some sweet overdubbing and amazing fight scenes. I tried to learn karate around that time, but it was too hard and took too long.<\/p>\n

\nThe Ponderosas, The New Groovement
\n<\/em>The Hidden Gem, $10, 9 pm
\nI lived on a street named Ponderosa when I was little. Actually, I think it was a \u201cdrive,\u201d not a street. It was on a big, long hill that you could really fly down on a bike or a skateboard. Except for the last bit, after it veered near the end of the block. It was too steep to risk bombing down because there was no way to make the turn at the bottom of the hill. You\u2019d end up hitting the curb and flying into the bushes, breaking something, for sure. My friends and I would always take the trail to the next street over. The hill was mellower. My trucks were a lot tighter back then.<\/p>\n

\nSalva, Brenmar
\n<\/em>Lucky Bar, $8, 9 pm
\nMy youngest drools a lot. He chews on fingers and loves to suck his thumb. If you have friends that are about to have children or you\u2019re heading to a baby shower and aren\u2019t sure what to get, bibs are a no-brainer. This inexpensive gift will probably not get the biggest thank you at the time it\u2019s unveiled but I guarantee that if they are first-time parents they will call you months later to offer thanks. I\u2019m not exactly sure how they do it, but babies produce an unexplainable amount of saliva, spit, puke, and other slippery things from the general area of their mouths. Buy something absorbent.<\/p>\n

\nWKND Warriors, Teaganbear, DJ Dunkaru, Cypress
\n<\/em>Upstairs Cabaret, $8, 10 pm
\nThe first show I saw in the space that is now known as Upstairs was SNFU. I don\u2019t think it was still called Harpo\u2019s then. I know it was The Planet for a while, but I think this gig was before that terrible moniker. Regardless, this was a kick-ass punk show in an historic venue. At the time, I didn\u2019t care. I just wanted to hear \u201cReality Is a Ride on the Bus\u201d and \u201cPainful Reminder.\u201d I vaguely remember my buddy getting to sing a few lines to \u201cDrunk on a Bike.\u201d Somewhere along the line Chi Pig tore apart a huge, pink stuffed bunny. At least I think it was pink. Or was it a bear?<\/p>\n

\nJohnny Vallis: A Tribute to Buddy Holly
\n<\/em>Charlie White Theatre, $29.50, 7 pm
\nThere was an old episode of Quantum Leap<\/em> that had the origin of Buddy Holly\u2019s tune \u201cPeggy Sue\u201d thrown into the story somehow. I don\u2019t remember much about it, but apparently the true inspiration for the song was actually someone on a farm calling a pig. Have you ever heard somebody do a hog call? Sooey Piggy! Sooey! How was I to know that the song was originally called \u201cCindy Lou\u201d after Buddy\u2019s niece, and got changed to reference the future wife of The Crickets\u2019 drummer? That\u2019s some rock and roll history, folks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
