Last weekend was great, I started things off at the Lucky Monkey EP release for their sophomore album, Nothing to Lose and lost my voice right off the bat.
It was definitely worth it though.
There害羞草研究所檚 nothing primitive about a rock band whose lead singer struts onto the stage wearing a bowler hat.
When you watch Kassidy Hritzuk sing into Dylan Losell害羞草研究所檚 face, hardly catch Josh Evans eye from behind this hair as he whirls his drumstick the for the last song of the set and Ryan Zeleznik shreds the guitar like all six strings might snap simultaneously, you have Lucky Monkey.

Then I had to tough it out Saturday night to see Wise Youngblood at Fernando害羞草研究所檚 Pub. The rock group came all the way from Vancouver Island to blow fan害羞草研究所檚 eardrums and it was everything. Definitely check these guys out the next time they are in town.
This weekend though is going to be a little more mellow but don害羞草研究所檛 worry your week will travel to the melodies of great live music.
Saturday night check out Kansas Lee and Leila Neverland at DunnEnzies Pizza Co. in Upper Mission, the new music venue is a great place to grab a slice while listening to great music with your friends. I cannot wait until it害羞草研究所檚 patio season there.

If Upper Mission is too far, see Laurice at Milkcrate Records.
Laurice has spent most of his career throwing his music against the walls of discrimination but this time around he is standing on top of one singing his heart out.
Born in North Wales, Laurice got his start in music working for Pie Records in London, and eventually became a session singer and producer at Abbey Road Studios. His first proto-punk hit, / under band name Grudge, was when he got his first taste of success. He then shot to fame with his his worldwide disco-hit .
