While our holiday show at Black Sheep is coming up tomorrow, there are a few other holiday shows in town that are worth checking out.

First we have the “Holiday Throwdown” at the Poon Lagoon starting at 7:00 pm. Bands playing include Everyone Is So Pretty, Big Storm (featuring members of Midnight Fall and Pound For Pound), Scott Blacula and Nephrons. That is a local line up not to miss! The show is at a house, so there is no door charge. You will have to head over to the facebook event to find the address.

Then after the Poon Lagoon show we have another holiday show at Bar None featuring Sunnyvale and Soy City Stranglers. The show will begin at 10:00 pm and is ages 21+.
