indie @ the abbey's Opening Night

Tonight is the premiere show for the new indie showcase that I am booking and hosting, along with Jersey Mike Presents and WiAB Records. indie at the abbey will be held every Wednesday at Appalachian Brewing Company in Harrisburg, PA. The shows start at 9:30 and admission is always $2. We have some great bands coming through town and opening night is no exception.


Black Tie Revue - credit
Pittsburgh's Black Tie Revue is making the trip east to play opening night. This band is known for their high energy shows and their music is hook laden indie pop. They will follow this show up with a trip to The Red and The Black in DC on Friday night.

Squaaks - credit
Squaaks hail from Baltimore. They will be playing in support of their fantastic new CD Rock Control, that they were supposed to release last weekend. Since they didn't actually get to play their release show, I guess tonight will sort of be the debut of the new disc. If you like driving rock with catchy tunes, not unlike The Pixies, this band is not to be missed.
