One block south, Club Fire will rock the house with Drowning Pool, Egypt Central and Blood Simple. $15, $20 if you’re 18-20.
Another great show next weekend is the CD release show for up and indie stormers Roosevelt Noise, with ¡Los Buddies! at Martin’s on Friday, April 11. Take Roosevelt Noise with whiskey and even doses of X, Elvis Costello and Spoon.
It’s not too late to get tickets for the return of Blue Man Group at the Beau Rivage in Biloxi, April 10-11, 888-566-7469 or http://www.beaurivage.com. It’s a fun and family-friendly show.
