Last night we had some fun seeing Toledo Bands around T-Town. We went down to The Blarney to catch “Gin Bunny” rocking the house at “The Blarney” downtown (N. Huron at Monroe). The dance floor was plenty packed. I didn’t have time to stay long enough to talk to the lads between sets, but here’s some pics we took of the guys while on stage -

We went over to Club Soda to see “Catch 33″ after that, but unfortunately they were on the last song of the set. I’ll have to get some pics again next time guys! We trucked it on down the road to go to Dundee so we could see Hugh Rock again at Thirsty’s. I know, I know - we saw Hugh Rock last week…but Ed was out sick and Mick (from Catch 33) was on lead guitar duties. Ed was back in fine form this week - we hope you’re feeling much better now!

Jim was nice enough to let me on stage with the band to play 3 songs - which was great fun. Yes, the bald headed guy on stage is me (John) - and I’m the one who runs T-Town Sound. Actually, my new band will be playing tonight - but more on that a bit later. Check back for more details…

Well it’s getting a little nipplier outside, and this is officially the third weekend in “Rocktober” in the glass city! There’s no shortage of things to do this weekend with events today, tomorrow, AND Sunday! Don’t miss the Black Swamp Blues Battle @ Mickey Finns on Sunday - visit BSBS.net for full schedule.
