Upcoming About That Upcoming Rock 'n' Roll Circus

copsposter.jpgThe Blue Scholars aren't the only locals with a three-night stay this week—the Cops are hosting the Rock 'n' Roll Circus at the Sunset Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night. Each night is actually a pretty killer line-up.

The Cops headline each show (playing every song from their first EP and both full-lengths, they say), and each night they have different opening guests. Here's how it breaks down:

Thurs 12/18: Cancer Rising, The Bad Things, Widower

Fri 12/19: The Fall of Troy, Kinski, The Whore Moans

Sat 12/20: Spiral Stairs, The Sea Navy, Wallpaper

It's just $10 a ticket each night. As much as I like the Sea Navy and Cancer Rising, I'll probably go Friday. The Whore Moans' new album, Hello From the Radio Wasteland is a great blast of raucous rock and roll, and I've yet to see the new material live.

Also, says the band: "The Cops are going on indefinite hiatus after these shows, so this will likely be your last opportunity to see us perform for awhile."

Visit sunsettavern.com for full info and to buy tickets via TicketWeb.

Now enjoy a clip of the original Rock 'n' Roll Circus—it's the Who playing "A Quick One While He's Away," and it's awesome:


The Who - "A Quick One While He's Away"

Someone better wear an eyepatch.

The Who were the greatest live band of all time, "My Generation" at Isle of Wight is the only thing that comes close to A Quick One.
