I am a live music advocate and seek to share the news of bands playing at local venues in my home town. Being drawn to blues mostly but embrace all kinds of music. One does not have to go over the bridge to hear some real fine tunes, however there are some bands that draw you elsewhere. I hope this blog is a good use to you as it is to me.
Enjoy,
Joanne

Dennis Brennan Tonight! Dave Sag’s blues party 8:30pm @ The Rhumb Line 8.11.2016 So wicked good!
Dave says,
The Musical Surplus Club of Hong Kong is proud to present the return of the one and only Mr. Dennis Brennan to the Rhumb Line stage this Thursday. Girls, start your weeping glands. Been a while since Big D has graced our stage and I can’t wait to join in. Everytime he comes here the smelling salts flow like wine! For my dough, the greatest singer around.
and he’s bringing along the hardware to match, in the form of Mr. Steve Sadler on catarrh and Mr. Chris Rivelli, the baddest drummmbler from Broomful ‘o Blues fame and misfortune. Don’t miss it!

Lisa Marie Tonight! Thursday the 8th.8:30pm. Davesag’s blues party @ The Rhumb Line 8.4.2016
Are you ready? Do you suffer from 4 weal drive? Wheys and miens? Corrosive carbuncles? Well, we offer the perfect ointment for your troubles in the form of Ms. Lisa Marie. Yes, this Thursday Ms. LM descends through the clouds spraying sunshine on all those parts that you fear need toning. Gonna be a big dance party. She’ dragging in Mr. Johnny Juxo on the keys and those fabulous wombat-skinned pointy Italian Shoes to shake things up. A drummer of dubious origin, too? I’m not sure….
It’s also Dave Trooper’s Going away party! From 6 to 8 pm, come by and wish him and Catherine good luck as they deport themselves to Ecuador, where the living is easy, the fish are jumpin’ and the coca grows high. Bring your instruments and show him who’s boss! Seriously, I’m going to miss him terribly and wish both all the luck on their new adventure. Do come!

Hold on to your hats! Dave Sag’s Blues Party tonight! w/ Bob Davis, David Brown, Dave Mattacks and dear Ol’ Dave Sag himself. 8:30 @ The Rhumb Line 7.21.2016
This week’s clash of the gods features the return match of Euphonium, the Roman God of fake IDs, versus Hernia, the Greek Goddess of surgical appliances. No! Wait! That’s my tri-polar self talking. Indeed, I hear voices in other people’s heads! This is what they really tell me:
This Thursday sees the fabulous return of guitar slingers Mr.Bob Davis, aka Johnny Carbuncle and Mr. Dave Brown, the world’s biggest… practitioners of bigness,that is, as their incredible styles clash and remagnetize in the sphere of possibilities. The Atomic Clock, Mr. Dave Mattacks, provides the impetus: I provide the Basest. this is the Rhumb line, where all is possible. This is Thursday: hours:8:30 to 11:30.
Yours truly, Dave
