Leave your pouting babies at home for this one.
Tonight starting at 8:45 @ Falstaff’s, Lively Lucy’s presents a night of rock and roll debauchery at Falstaff’s chock full of sweaty thongs and headbanging. Three homegrown Skidmore bands will be performing: Yo Soy Milk, Los Elk, and Punch Drunk Monkeys.
Yo Soy Milk is likely the loudest, most obnoxious punk act to grace Skidmore since, well, ever. Seriously, these guys are terrible. Never before has Skidmore heard their patented brand of Nirvana-meets-Queens of the Stone Age-meets-The Replacements punk with a hint of emo self-loathing. That’s right, ladies and gentlemen, this Thursday you can hear Yo Soy Milk’s first Skidmore performance.
If you missed Los Elk opening for Jesse Rubin at the Spa last Friday, you missed out on some seriously groovin’ dance rock from these boys. With a classic indie rock sound combining raw power with technical proficiency that will make it impossible for you to not get down with your bad self on the dance floor, their second showing is not to be missed.
Last but certainly not least will be Punch Drunk Monkeys, Skidmore’s resident punk-funk gurus. The oldest of these young bands, Punch Drunk Monkeys are veterans of the Skidmore rock scene, even performing at Fun Day last year. If you know ‘em, you love ‘em, and if you don’t, you will.
Who knows, that cute girl in your philosophy class might even be there.
