Date	Wednesday, December 9th
Location	Emos
Doors	900p
Tickets	$10 from TicketWeb

Jay Reatard is making his triumphant return to Austin on Wednesday night at Emos, with local band Harlem. You’re guaranteed to love every bit of the music, but I recommend you bring along a set of earplugs because the last time Jay came through town, my ears rang for three days from the volume of his live set. He’s going to play fast and loud, and you’re going to enjoy every minute of it. Oh, and if you make it out to the show, let me know how the new line-up sounds.

It’s time for all you metal heads to come out in Austin at Emo’s tonight with a show by Savannah, GA band Baroness. Local boys Iron Age and fellow metal heads Dark Castle will be providing your opening support. No doubt this will be a loud and heavy show which should wake you up from the weekend.
