2013 Bonzai
SATURDAY, AUGUST 17 MAIN STREET ARMORY, 900 E. MAIN ST. 3 P.M. | $29.95 | THEZONE941.COM [ POP/ROCK ] What type of music do you like to listen to? It really doesn’t matter much, as this year’s iteration of Bonzai probably has you covered regardless. There’s 10 Years for fans of the metal, Panic! At the Disco for the pop rockers, Dropkick Murphys (pictured) for the punks and Celts, Reel Big Fish for the skanking ska fans, and Pepper for the reggae folks. It’s a diverse line-up, for sure, and that’s just a handful of the 10 acts hitting the show. Bonzai also expanded this year, and for the first time will be held across two stages at the Main Street Armory. Oh, and don’t forget the beer garden. What more can you ask for? — BY WILLIE CLARK
Keto, Whos7 THURSDAY, AUGUST 15 DUB LAND UNDERGROUND, 315 ALEXANDER ST. 10 P.M. | $5, 21+ | 232-7550 [ ELECTRONIC ] It might be a mostly local dub night, but
that doesn’t mean it hits any softer. Local favorites Keto and Whos7 have the reins tonight, and to be sure they’ve got the practice and the skill so that you’re going to be drawn down into the basement by the hypnotic wub wub wub of their grooves. Also appearing are Mr. Waldo (there he is!), Dyrest, Risik, Mic See, NG, and Ch4chlife, who will be spread out on both floors to keep the beat rolling all night. — BY SUZAN PERO
