I haven't heard the Lucky Bishops, but Green Pajamas are also really great
- more psych-POP than any of the other bands on the bill.  Very English
Freakbeat influenced (Sgt. Peppers, Tomorrow, S.F. Sorrow, etc.).  This
should be an absolutely *killer* show.  I feel sorry for my former bandmate
Eric Arn, whose new Primordial Undermind lineup is playing in a different
club the same night.

Yes, it is, and yes, he was, but by all reports his recovery has been
nothing short of miraculous.  I'm pretty certain that Silver Apples have
been playing out again recently.

If anyone makes it to that show, PLEASE post a review here!
