Flagpole‘s hastily assembled but beyond-awesome band, ’87 Is a Place on Earth, didn’t make it to the finale of Nuçi’s Space’s annual local-business battle of the bands, but we ain’t mad at nobody. (Except a certain traitorous judge who also happens to be a former Flagpole employee. You know who you are.) The good news, though, is that the finalists—The Double Oh Zone (The Red Zone), Punch List (TSAV) and 40 Cent (40 Watt)—all made indelible impressions the first go-around with their varying levels of quirk, charisma and kitsch. Those three will perform Saturday, as will various other crowd favorites. Don’t miss your chance to see some wonderfully ramshackle cover tunes as played by your favorite bartenders, sales clerks and A.V. nerds, while helping to support one of the worthiest causes around.
