Man, it's been a while since we had a "To Do" and, I ain't gonna lie, the break has been nice. Having done one to two shows a week for a month-plus, I was ready for some time off. Now, having had said time off, I need to go to a fucking show. Luckily for me and the rest of you Tampa/'Burg-ians, we got a weekend loaded with the awesome. So let's go through it:
Thursday @ New World: The Woodsboss
There is no shortage of people who've danced a shit-ton of nights away at New World to the live blessings of The Weary Boys. Those were the kinds of nights that stories are made of. A band without a label relentlessly touring enough to build huge followings, in enough towns they could play packed houses in every state of the union. Then reality came crawling and The Weary Boys disbanded.
Wha? Why? What's gonna? WTFingF?
Shock, rage, sadness.
Enter The Woodsboss. Which, FYI, is basically The Weary Boys minus Darren and plus Brian's wife.
So, all you Weary Boy fans needs to get your asses up off the couch and get out to New World Thursday night and we'll dance again to the fine fine sounds of Mario, The Woodsboss and a few Weary Boys faves.
Mario Matteoli – Hard Luck Hittin'
Mario Matteoli – Sun Keeps On Beating Down
The Weary Boys – Another Song, Another Drink
