Good Bands/Last Shows

You know the kids these days, always going to school and getting educated, going off into the world. You think they'd have the courtesy to sit in my living room and just play for my entertainment, goldarnit. Not to be, however, and two local bands are advertising their last shows for a while.

Personal favorite City On The Make, the finest howlin' grandees north of the Mason-Dixon are bringing it home to their 400 Bar stomping grounds. They released their "A Million Bucks" EP there earlier this year, in what has to be one of my favorite nights of the summer. Axe-man Mischa Kegan heads off to grad school in Chicago this fall as front man Mike Massey wraps it up at the U, so look for them to trade the screams and rumbles, enough to cover a whole lot of ground.

It seems too soon to go for newcomers Capitol Jay- their Strangers in my House release and the couple shows they've played this summer were a tantalizing pop-rock flavor, a little sparky promise. Although they have just about sold out of their first printing of their disc, you can download the thing in its entirety from Limerick Records. Check it out and and then shuffle you feet as you wait for the youngsters to come back together.
