April 24 What’s Happening GF

Well, we thought it was going to be Spring but the weatherman said to look for snow! Sheesh! There’s only one sure way to heat up our hearts and that’s with some live music. We’ve got anything you could want this weekend and it all starts TONIGHT!

Mischief, Deliverance, and Fire all return to GF clubs, and country/rockers Boomtown will play at the Long Haul. Fire plays just tonight, then they’re off to St. Thomas, ND. There’s a big punk/metal show at the Eagles in EGF tonight, all ages, with a slew of area bands that only has a $5 cover. If you’re into folk/American, check out the father/daughter team, the Diers, at Porpoura. But for you die-hard fans, carry your butts down to the Crosstown to see John Wayne and the Pain TONIGHT. He always gives up a great show!
