Wednesday now has dueling karaoke nights! And they are right across the street from each other.

Down in the Neumos/MoeBar VIP Room (go to the back of MoeBar, down the stairs, and down the shifty hallway), the space has been turned into a “Karaoke Den,” replete with comfy leather chairs, fake money to write your song selection on, and best of all, the old Bus Stop karaoke machine and book. The Bus Stop’s Sunday night karaoke was one of it’s proudest traditions, and definitely the one most attended by me, so it was super fun to go down and see all those same faces who followed the book here. Unfortunately, it’s not hosted by Adé, who’s bitchiness was one of the highlights. But last week, it was hosted by Tara Thomas, who’s easily twice as lovably crazy. Fun ensues!

Across the street at King Cobra, tonight is the debut of their karaoke night, which is reportedly being hosted by Karaoke Steve, aka the guy who does the much-loved Sunday night karaoke at the Twilight Exit. And that’s all I know, because tonight is the first night.

It’s a duel!*
Former Sunday Karaoke Machine vs. Current Sunday Karaoke KJ!
North Side of Pike vs. South Side of Pike!
Underground Bar vs. Where the CHUDS Don’t Live!

WHO WILL BE THE WINNER?

*How would you even determine a winner? I’m gonna go ahead and say: Best version of any Bonnie Tyler song. Pick your poison.
