Post Turkey Day Circle Jerk with the Ypsitucky Colonels

Those lovable ragamuffins, Ypsitucky Colonels, are at it again.

The Colonels will share the Happy Hour stage with the Nuke-a-billies at the Heidelberg’s Club Above this Friday from 6-8 p.m.

In the Nuke-a-billies, Corndaddy guitarist Kevin Brown rejoins his old band mate, Steve Newhouse, for a rollicking collection of truck-driving songs and classic country standards that recall those halcyon days at Mr. Flood’s. The Ypsitucky Colonels set the house ablaze with a hip-shakin,' boot-scootin,' belly-rubbin,' buns-cuppin' mix of garage, country, power-pop … and more AM radio hits than a K-Tel record. Guaranteed.*

The ‘Billies hit first, at 6, followed by the Colonels at 7. In other words, you can get all shit-faced and still get home in time for “Don’t Forget the Lyrics.”

So ... it's a win-win proposition and a perfect way to wind down after the Turkey Day festivities. Drinks are strong, the beer is cold and the cover is only $2, cheap-ass! As always, free bourbon and balloons for the kids.

The Club Above is located at the Heidelberg is located at 215 N. Main Street in downtown Ann Arbor. Don’t get mugged.

(And just to make it interesting, I’ll buy a beer for the first person in the audience to identify the Joe Jeffries Group cover in the Colonels’ setlist.)

See you there … Col. Will
