Best show of the day:
-9:30 p.m. Crooked Bangs/Rock, Showcase @ Cheer Up Charlie’s

For the second year in the row, Crooked Bangs did not fail to impress at Cheer Up Charlie’s. It seems as though they have some new songs in their arsenal, and frontlady Leda Ginestra’s no-fucks-given attitude let their dark songs swirl into a catchy, fun punk rock affair.
