Oh, you've got options this weekend

Once again a bunch of quality options for all the live music fans out there. As always, check the calendar on the lower right of this screen for a full, linked rundown.

I'm obliged to call out The Ceiling Stares cassette release party at Gooski's on Saturday night for a few reasons:

1) We don't give Gooski's enough play on this blog. Often that's because we can't find what's going on there. Has a venue ever done less to promote itself? It's a PGH rock institution nestled in Polish Hill - great beer selection and one of the better bar-music atmospheres around.

2) The Ceiling Stares are a PGH rockshow on the rise. Bonus: they have a Czar in their ranks.

3) When was the last time you went to a CASSETTE release party? Finally! Something to put in the tape player of my mid-nineties sedan.

You can stream and download the EP at their site... here.
