Hi blogreaders! It's Friday and that means it's time for a round-up. It's been a busy week here so I'm gonna make it quick.

Tonight (FRIDAY), famed CP cover-boys Centipede Eest play the Brillobox along with Tusk Lord. One Centipede member (leg?) is setting out for sunny California climes soon, so you won't be seeing much of them in the future. Check it out while you still can! At Altar Bar, The Toadies play tonight, proving once and for all that they do still exist. King Sickabilly plays a show that's being deemed "Pork-a-billy," whatever the hell that means, at Howlers along with locals Supercharged Suicide and Devilz in the Detailz. And speaking of suicide, if you're looking for something that might inspire you to slit your wrists, Nickelback plays the CONSOL Energy Center tonight. But we all know you like that pickle better.

Tomorrow (SATURDAY), I'll likely be hitting both WYEP's Rock the Block party at their studio and the New Yinzer-sponsored show at Brillobox featuring More Humans, Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, and The Mt. McKinleys.For a Pittsburghy rockin' good time, the Longtime Darlings play Moondog's in Blawnox. And over at Most-Wanted Fine Art, the headliner is Peace, Loving; the others are Brian S. Ellis, Tusk Lord, and Great Blue Heron.

Cool? Cool. Also, don't forget that El Ten Eleven is playing at Brillobox on Monday. I know, it's a Monday. But I checked those dudes out last time they came around and it was what I might call "bitchin' good."
