Sorry I missed last week, folks.  Just too much going on.  But this one has some outstanding bands to make up for it.  So check out who's playing here this week...

Wednesday, Jan. 31:  The Born Ruffians hit Mercury Lounge after a couple of dates at Bowery Ballroom.  Some good pop indie rock from Toronto.  Looks like Montreal's not the only Canadian city to bring us some good music.

Thursday, Feb. 1:  The Boroughs, a great punk band from across the river in Astoria, play Pianos with The Black Angels out of Austin.  The Black Angels have a deep rock sound that reminds me of BRMC.  Really liked this song that they have for download, so I couldn't resist playing it and giving a double dose for this date.

Friday, Feb. 2:  Sin-e has The Mood.  Another nice song.  This one's fitting for this time of year.

Saturday, Feb. 3:  The Measure (SA) plays a benefit show at The Delancey.  This is some great, tight-sounding punk.
