FRIDAY
Bob Log III w. w. Pork Torta & Wolf Wars (ex-Horrors & Autodramatics) | The Mill | 9 pm | $8 advance, $10 door
According to the Mill:
Legendary one man garage rock freak-out and Fat Possum recording artist Bob Log III makes his debut at The Mill! Bob Log simultaneously plays guitar and drums while singing into his motor cycle helmet. Definitely a case of you have to see it to believe it, so come see it already!
Those that are familiar with Bob Log III have been counting down the days to this show ever since it was announced. You can also expect a big local crowd for Andy Caffrey’s (Horrors, Autodramatics) new band Wolf Wars (not to be confused with Beast Wars, Wolf Mother or Wolf Parade, but maybe with a significant amount of wolf-like hunger. We’ll see.)

Extended weekend tips for those looking to make the most of their last weeks of summer:
MONDAY & TUESDAY: GABE’S!
If you haven’t made it out to the Gabe’s (er, as I like to call it, Gabe’s 2.0, the bar at 330 E Washington that was re-opened this spring under it’s old name), you are urged to do so this Monday and Tuesday for two incredible shows: Dawes on Monday and Blitzen Trapper on Tuesday.
Subscribe to LV Daily for community news, events, photos and more in your inbox every weekday afternoon.
Apologies to the 21 and under crowd – these are both late night shows – but for the rest of you they are each likely to appeal to a wide variety of listeners because both bands make plain old good, catchy, melodic, poppy, smart rock songs.

Have a great weekend!
