A night of weirdness at The Empty Glass.

Johnny C and the Scurvy Dogs will be at Smiley’s at 9 PM tonight and Saturday, but they didn’t say if there’s a cover charge, so it’s a mystery. Still, it’s raucous ’80s covers and it’ll be a huge party atmosphere.

The Empty Glass promises “A Night of Weirdness with Project Biscotti ft John Frail & Professor Bubblemaker.” It kicks off at 9 PM and the cover is seven dollars. I gotta check out these guys one of these days.

Relative Obscurity and Twist of Fate stage a hard rock birthday bash at The Blue Parrot at 10 PM, with a five dollar cover charge.
