Saturday Oct 2:
Friends Forever at Ziggy’s 9 pm (with Hale Zukas and The Tracers)
$5 admission (support the band!),
$4 for SRLS members

"FRIENDS FOREVER is a Denver, Colorado band that cannot be contained on a stage and will play synthmo-drum/bass/whatever whammy thwack attack from WITHIN their van outside your precious club."

The subject of a very entertaining 2001 documentary film by filmmaker Ben Wolfinsohn, Friends Forever is a pair of guys who criss-cross the country playing shows out of the back of their beat-up VW bus. With the help of a gas generator, thousands of watts of "juice" power their amps, lights, and christmas-light-bedecked costumes. Thus bring they the rock unto thy parking lot. And yes, this will be going down at the parking lot at Ziggy's!

The music itself is a raucous (and rock-us!) mixture of no-wave improvisation and tight rockbandsmanship, the performance a mixture of punk-rock rebellion and stadium-band pyrotechnics.
