Four damn good events are going down tonight:

One: Excellent punk rock from one of the best bands punk-rocking these days. Added bonus: A good band from Australia! Witch Hats recalls The Birthday Party, only with some haunting female vocals involved. You’ll find these ruffians at Funhouse.

Two: Get down to Jules Maes and witness the very talented Michael Vermillion, who just cut a self-released debut album, and while it’s received little attention in the media, it’s a damn solid collection of rough (old) country jams. It’s call Last Night on Earth, and everyone should go buy it right now.

Three: Three quality pop-ish rock bands fill out this bill at Chop Suey. Bring a date who likes rock music.

Four: Awesome soul DJs spinning at this little neighborhood motorcycle/scooter-themed bar. Get there early, as it’s likely to be packed.

Thank you.
