Poe’s Pub hasn’t updated their calendar for October yet, so I can’t tell if they’ll have anything worth seeing or not, yet. I’ll update this list if they’ve got anything.

For the record, I vouch for every band on this page as being something worth checking out, if you’re into the kind of music they do, except for the Dead Kennedys thing. I’m pretty sure there’s no Jello in there, so it’s basically a cover-band as far as I’m concerned; if you want to see a Dead Kennedys cover band, you could probably do worse than seeing one with original members in it, but after all the drama between those dudes n’ Jello Biafra, it just seems kinda… I dunno. I balk at giving them my thumbs-up; they’re presumably reasonably succesful, so I don’t think they’ll mind too much. I mentioned it here solely as a curiosity, rather than as a recommendation.
