Music Picks for Thursday, Aug 5

Bubonik Funk, Leaving Venus & Jordan Okrend - Deep South (Funk, Acoustic, Indie)
This is a pretty solid lineup of different bands - and makes for a great night of music...
Bubonik Funk is a Charlotte based funk band that seems to blend funk, rock and soul all together for their soulful funk sound... It's a real solid sound and the band brings an energy and enthusiasm that is contagious and gets the crowd going and grooving - just take a listen to "Position of Power" to see what I mean....

Jordan Okrend is a great acoustic rocker with good vocals to match - he mainly plays most of his own stuff but has been known to throw in a cover or two to jack up the crowd... This is easy listening stuff but it is certainly worth a listen....

Indy Rockers Leaving Venus have a kooky cool indie/retro sound to them.... It's like an indie band of today discovering the 80s - at least the vocal stylings.... Clear, crisp yet distant... Check out "Dead Men Dont Tell Tales" and you know what I mean.... In fact all of their songs are great listens.... Check out the show!

Mike Mickxer Trio - Hibernian (Jazz)
Mike and krewe tear it up at another night at the Hibernian - I saw him out last night - so he is ready to jam out...

80s Party Feat. I Was Totaly Destroying It, Jews & Catholics & more.....
This is going to be one big 80s party. 3-4 Bands in costume doing original and 80s covers plus djs spinning the best 80s music in between.... The party kicks off at 9pm with the headliners and their 7" release party feat "In Big Country" hitting the stage around 11:45 or so....
This show is a MUST!
