Fresh of the success of last week’s 24-hour telethon, Savage Henry Comedy Club still has the lights on and is putting on the good stuff for the all-ages crowds who just want something fucking loud and heavy in their lives. I’m talking about another installment of Metal Monday. This week’s lineup is an international affair, […]

Music Tonight: Thursday, June 10
How about a Metal Thursday? If that sounds interesting, Savage Henry Comedy Club has you covered, although this one is going to be a little more punk than metal, to be honest. Bay Area band Skin and Bonez joins locals Kolonizer, Brain Dead Rejects and Spayr for a night of punk and heavy alt rock. […]

First up, at the Outer Space at 7 p.m., Brain-Dead Rejects and Kolonizer are playing a horror punk drag show for a […]

John Brown’s Body
I’ve been trying to make sense of how so many people, some of whom I once considered to be moral, ethical, and generally “good eggs,” as Bertie Wooster would say, can’t seem to take a hard line on the genocide our country is currently abetting in Palestine and now Lebanon. Some things don’t have the […]

Music Tonight: Monday, July 22
It’s 7 p.m. on Monday night at Savage Henry Comedy Club, which means another installment of — thunderclap, sword slash, scream and evisceration sounds — Metal Monday. Tonight’s road band is a grindcore act from Michigan called Cloud Rat, with local support from Malicious Algorithm, The Groomers, Kolonizer and Pruritus Ani. If you don’t understand […]
