Thanks for the heads up. I was just researching the bands and found out that a friend of mine plays with one of them.

Toad's Place! Oh God, I played there in the early 80's. I can still smell the stale beer.....

A classic American style rock club. Everything you'd imagine it to be.

An endorsement? Good! I will be there. Last band I saw at Toad's Place was The Ventures. It's good to see the club is still going strong after all these years.

Speaking of Jersey Boys, that was a great show.
