| Tues. 1/5 | 8pm 21+ | 8:00 Helper 8:45 Bastards of Melody 9:30 Julia Darling 10:30 Mark Nilson Wind-Up Recording Artist JULIA DARLING's first show was quite magical. This New Zealand transplant certainly will get compared to Alanis, Meredith and Fiona. Yeah sure, but we think her best stuff recalls Marianne Faithful more than any of her contemporaries. | $6 |
| Wed. 1/6 | 8pm 21+ | 8:00 Goats in Trees 8:45 Drugstore Soul 9:30 Leah Coloff 10:30 Damaged. Mary Maya Webb and Daniel Yetnikoff (son of record mogul Walter) lead the new DRUGSTORE SOUL. We haven't seen them play yet, but the hauntingly soulful vocals on 'Angeline' caught our ears right away. Combine that with arrangements that are well thought out and not pretentious, and it sounds like a winner to us. | $6 |
| Thurs. 1/7 | 8pm 21+ | 8:00 Amy Allison & The Maudlins 9:00 Tommy Womack 10:00 Amy Rigby. With last year's Diary of A Mod Housewife and the new Middlesence, AMY RIGBY has come out as New York's premier songwriter. Witty, smart, and sentimental tales from the point of view of a woman being dragged kicking and screaming into middle age. Ex-Government Cheese (and current Author-at-Large) TOMMY WOMACK comes in from Nashville to support, and NYC faves THE MAUDLINS round out this excellent bill. | $8 |
| Fri. 1/8 | 9pm 21+ | 9:00 Missing Joe 10:00 Shimmerhead 11:00 Steak 12:00 Fontaine FONTAINE's groove and funk resides in the same house as groups like Fun Lovin' Criminals and Brand New Heavies. Together with their friends (and familiar gig-mates) STEAK they create one hell of a party vibe. SHIMMERHEAD is the Crazy Horse-esque four piece fronted by super-bartender and all around bald guy Phil Sherman. Anyone who writes a song juxtaposing Hank Williams with Jesus gets two big thumbs' up from us… | $7 |
| Sat. 1/9 | 9pm 21+ | 9:00 Chris O'Connor 10:00 Punch Havana 11:00 Knockout Drops THE KNOCKOUT DROPS are the best thing to come from Long Island since Iced Tea, and they are coming back to Brownies to prove it…. This band throws a hell of a party, and Chris Campion's voice (and of course the songs, dummy!!) keeps them coming back time and again. This guy was born to be onstage…. PUNCH HAVANA features ex-700 Miles members Tom Clapp and Justin Guip. | $8 |
| Sun. 1/10 | All Ages. 8pm | 8:00 The Recoys 8:45 The Kiss-Offs 9:30 The Rondelles 10:30 The Mooney Suzuki Teen Rockers, the RONDELLES invade Brownies with their 3 piece casio-punk combo. 'Cute' pop songs and 60's brit-pop attitude make for a unique sound and style of garage rock. The KISS-OFF's, all the way from Austin, TX join us once again with their Fall/Velvet Underground brand of rock, and local fave's THE MOONEY SUZUKI , baptize us with a reckless and trashy pop show. | $7 |
| Mon. 1/11 | 21+ 8pm | 8:00 Samsara 8:45 Denise Hradracky 9:30 Cliffordstrip 10:30 Jeremy Wallace | $6 |
| Tues. 1/12 | 21+ 8pm | 8:00 Nerve Generator 8:45 Forward 9:30 Flu Thirteen 10:30 Punch Drunk Indie-rockers FLU THIRTEEN are on the receiving end of what is becoming a pretty serious bidding war (what we used to call a weasil-fest), and since we were the first ones to book them some three or four years ago, we know why…. Milwaukee, WI transplants PUNCH DRUNK are just another of the L.E.S. best kept secrets - tonight they celebrate the release of their new CD Bird Bird mixing the best elements of old Soul Asylum, Pavement, and (sic) The Black Crowes. Called it subtlety twisted rock, made the way only mid-westerners | $6 |
| Wed. 1/13 | 21+ 8pm | 8:00 Staziaks 8:45 This Island Earth 9:30 Mark Rosenthal 10:30 Tammygun | $6 |
