FBIX Update

Counting the days til Saturday night here at OTW. I do hope you'll come and bring the kool kats with you. If you missed it, here is the pertinent info. In addition, I'll urge you to come early:

  • Doors open at 8pm and we'll be spinning the new Derek Trucks album (releasing 1/13) to get the party warmed up.
  • In addition, there will be 3 Sixpoint beers (Sweet Action, Brownstone, Apollo Wheat) to be specific) on tap for $4 each from 8-10, so get to that bar early and often.
  • Finally, we can confirm that Danjaboots -- i.e. Scott Metzger & Joe Russo -- will be giving us a rare appearance to open the show at 8:45... you won't want to miss their countried-up set of tunes about drinkin', fightin' and f#$%in'.
That's all in addition to the full slate of music, freaks and fun... here's that info again:

The details:

Freaks Ball IX
January 10, 2009
Southpaw
Brooklyn, USA

featuring:
  • The New Mastersounds
  • Danjaboots (Metzger and Russo singing about drinkin', fightin' and f#$@in')
  • The Rodney Speed Experience (feat. Scott Boom Boom Metzger, Sir Joe Russo, Eddie Eyeball of 2 Skinnee Js, Phil Costello of Tragedy, Backyard Bill, Szuf Daddy of Tragedy, Ginger of the Wildhearts)
  • and a special, rock your socks off late night set from RANA.
