FW: music this summer

Gogol Bordello were mind blowing. If you get the chance to see them, do so.

Dub FX and Dub Congress are playing tonight at the Blank Club. Dub FX is too pop and mainstream for my taste, but Dub Congress has real roots. I won't make it, but next weekend I'll be out and about.

Next Friday at the Blank Club will be good. Yvonne said INSPECT HER GADGET are fun. I know FABULOUS DISASTER are great. How can you not like punk chicks playing loud fast guitars?

Next Saturday at Slim's will be good. Groovie Ghoulies are very good at the Ramonesque fun punk thing. The Mr. T Experience has a zillion good songs with clever lyrics.

Sometime in August the Gore Gore Girls from Detroit are coming back to the Blank Club. Probably to dance with Enrique again!

See you down front.

MTX (known by the long-form The Mr. T Experience) has been a ferociously inventive band since their 1986 self-released debut album, "Everyone's Entitled To Their Own Opinion." 10 albums and over 200,000 in sales later, MTX is still better at what they do than anyone else. What began as a Brit-influenced art punk band became one of the earliest and most compelling pop punk bands of all time. MTX has kept growing over the years, pushing pop songwriting and arranging as a post-pop punk rock band. The 13 songs of their latest release "Yesterday Rules" sounds like what they are: the creation of a songwriter who has created and mastered genres and is at the height of his powers. Dr. Frank's songs are so consistently catchy and witty that is almost easy to take the output of his remarkable band for granted. But to do so and miss out on the amazing new songs would be a mistake!

FAIRFAX IS ONLY 20 MINUTES FROM GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE. A beautiful drive across the Golden Gate Bridge and along scenic Hwy. 101 for about 11 miles. Take the Central San Rafael exit, go one block and turn left on Third Street. Stay on Third, bear right onto Sir Francis Drake Blvd and in about 4 miles you will reach Fairfax. Take the first left on Pacheco Ave for about 20 yards and then turn right on Broadway Blvd. 19 Broadway is next to the Fairfax Theatre. At night also look for our green illuminated shamrock high in the redwood tree behind our building!
