Weekly Highlights

13 Sep

For the week of 9/13/09

Monday

Matt Friction and the Cheap Shots debut at 8 Off 8th at the Mercy Lounge – 9pm
Once again, just like every other week, the Mercy Lounge brings us 8 off 8th, so you know the drill by now. What you might not know is the lineup, which is as follows: American Bang (who you might have seen at Live on the Green two weeks ago), the Privates, the Comfies, Mean Tambourines, Powerbrrrd, Jonesin’, and Xpia. Expect drink specials, but don’t expect the Kings of Leon. Seriously. 21+.

Who is 8 off 8th’s Surprise Guest Tonight?

17 Aug

Let’s look at the clues…

@SimonKerr Wish we could. They’ve specifically asked us not to. It may be a contractual thing w/ All Tomorrow’s Parties: http://bit.ly/vCsiK

Today’s clue about tomorrow’s secret NINTHoff8th: They expect the entire club ends to be full of boys who love the Kings of Leon.

Today’s clue for the secret NINTHoff8th for Monday: They have a mascot who starred in a 1990 John Goodman movie where he was an exterminator

Secret band playing Monday’s 9off8th had either Kings of Leon’s drummer OR Merlin the Magician as the drummer at their 1st show

He/she/they will perform at next month’s All Tomorrow’s Parties

The secret, out-of-town band, flying in for Monday’s NINE off 8th, is very popular with boys and has had over 7 bassists

He/she/they hate Kings of Leon but love to make you dance.

FINAL CLUE about secret NINTH off 8th: This band hates Smyrna with all its guts. Kings of Leon are from Smyrna. ‘Nuff said.

KINGS OF LEON ARE NOT PLAYING AT MERCY LOUNGE TONIGHT. Damn interwebs! Go through our previous tweets for correct info.

4 all saying it’s a hoax: there really is an unannounced, out-of-town band flying in 2 play a FREE 12am show 2nite. Plane just touched down

My wild guess is going to be Animal Collective…what do you guys think?

Okay, I’m convinced it’s going to be KOL. Expect crowds. Big crowds.

Mercy Lounge says it’s not Kings of Leon, but maybe it’s one of them…I have no idea.

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
