If you just so happen to be at the narrow crossroads of "training for a marathon" and "working on my PBR shotgunning speed," then boy do we have a game plan for you.
You’re gonna want to start out at Soft Junk, where Fly Golden Eagle is kicking things up at 7:30. They’re playing a stacked bill with solo sets from Peter Stringer-Hye and Joey Plunkett (of Promised Land Sound and JP5, respectively), with Lionlimb rounding the night out. Hang out there and take full advantage of that BYOB designation until about 9, when you’ll need to start checking in with your pals who couldn’t be assed to leave their apartments for the early show and instead skipped right to the Cold Lunch Recordings-produced show over at The East Room. That’s where you’ll be able to indulge in some delicious 60’s fetishism with The Jag, Crease Reader, and Lasso Spells. From there it’s up to you to play it by ear, but the whole jaunt between the two is only 0.6 miles and I know there’s at least one little booze stop between the two to keep you stocked with the vitamins you need.
What we’re looking at is basically a de facto locals-only Gallatin Ave music fest tonight, so check it out and say ‘sup to the buddies you almost definitely have in one or more of the bands involved. –Austin Phy
