With an album considered the best of the year by many of my peers under their belts and a full force return to touring for a salivating fan base, here the Del Lords are joined by one of the best garage rock bands around, Spanking Charlene, in what is certain to be the rock show to beat in 2013, Thursday, October 10th at Sullivan Hall.
Monday – Chita Rivera – August Wilson Theater – The reigning Queen of Musical Theater at 80.
