The Church of Rock n' Roll

The Firing Squad

@ Back Booth every Friday
No Cover
$2 Jack Daniels Drinks, $1 PBR

Jim Leatherman, Ken Chiodini, and Freddy Mullins crack open the vaults of their personal record collections to blow... your... miiiiiiiiind, man! This is like Rock n' Roll Church. How devout are you?

Wow, never thought the dead would walk again, but there they go--wait, that's not walking, that's The Watusi!

Jim is the sweet, sentimental side of The Squad, sending the crowd into misty-eyed reveries with the best of modern and days-gone-by make-out music. Think of card-carrying members in the Indie revolution: Velvet Underground, Lucero, Air, and so on (and how!).

Ken ups the anty with 60s and 70s rock, punk, and soul like The Stooges, The Cynics, The Deadboys, James Brown, Otis Redding, and their more obscure brethren.

Then Freddy slays those still standing with cross-generational C*CK R*CK like The New York Dolls, AC/DC, Hanoi Rocks, and if you listen closely, dirty unspoken favorites of the underground masses like Nugent's CAT SCRATCH FEVER.

The drinks are cheap, just $2 for a whiskey mix (and they don't short you) or a buck for a beer. And the staff and patrons alike are downright good-looking. You can't go wrong. So get yer butts to Back Booth for a killer rock n' roll night!
