I’m sure many of you aren’t aware that our local chapter of The Loyal Order of Moose recently underwent a huge renovation at their lodge on the east side. Why is this important you ask? Well music fans, The Lodge is starting to put together some pretty interesting shows/parties full of great local acts you might want to check out. Tonight (12/18) the Moose Lodge brings you Hollywood Gossip, The Gary Newcombe Trio, & MIss Jackson. Friday night (12/19) things get even better with The Golden Boys, Harlem, Welfare Mother, and Alright Tonight putting on a show. If those two nights don’t work for you, wait till Sunday (12/21) and make it out for Plutonium Farmers. Doors for all shows will open at 8pm. Directions to the venue can be found here.
If you aren’t making it out to the Whitman show on Friday, Built by Snow are also playing next door at Club Deville. Built by Snow are a band looking to make it big in 2009 with their new album MEGA due out in January. Other local acts Hollwood Gossip, Dead Black Hearts, and DJ Gmau will be joining in on the fun. Club Deville website says the thing is free so you could always stop by in between sets at the Mohawk.
