Sat 20: Lo-Pan, Bridesmaid, Salvage, 1point3, Horseburner, Bloody Incisors ($5) 9pm
PICK: Lo-Pan remind me of Sabbath and early grunge - what the kids call stoner rock these days. Salvage is heavy, thick, primal yet almost polished - perhaps because their guitarist is a sound/recording guy who's worked with Mike Patton and many locals. 1.3 mangles metal into soundtracks for nightmares.
Tree Bar - 614-725-0955
Sat 20: Cotton Jackson, Children Of Reagan, Hells Fire Sinners
PICK: Cotton Jackson is a redneck, white trash, Blue Ribbon bar rock band ... tongue and Skoal planted firmly in cheek. Local punk rockers Children of Reagan never quite broke up. Recently they've been playing more than a few times a year.
