Who: The Thigh-Highs (7:00), Regular Einstein (8:00), Lazy Lions (9:00), Doug Gillard (10:00), Field Guides (11:00)
What: “A riotous rockstravaganza with five acts fraternally banding together for a mini-fest of mountainous proportions”
Where: Piano’s, 158 Ludlow St. at Stanton St., 212-505-3733
When: Saturday, September 26, $10, 7:00 – 12 midnight
Why: You know that this mini-fest is the real deal because Jim Allen of Lazy Lions recently posted on Facebook, “I just passed up a free ticket to a private performance by one of my musical heroes so I could attend band practice tomorrow. So you people have to help make this Saturday’s gig worth it!” Meanwhile, Paula Carino of Regular Einstein has promised that this show at Piano’s will be “super-fun,” and we don’t doubt it, given this superior lineup, including twi-ny faves Regular Einstein and Lazy Lions, along with the Thigh-Highs; Doug Gillard, formerly of Guided by Voices and currently in Nada Surf; and Field Guides anchoring the evening. And it will only cost you ten bucks, so you really have no excuse not to check out what should be a great night of pure pop nirvana.
