The New Direction, 14 Roberts Street downstairs, Fargo
Only a few more shows at one of our favorite venues, and this is a good one. Stef and her band (SC, vocals and guitar; Clancy on drums; Shelley Salant on bass) are the personification of DIY -- different, original, and interesting. How much? TND haven’t decided yet, but probably $7, maybe $10.

The Sanctuary, 670 4th Ave N, Fargo
Heavy metal from Denison, Texas. Fans call them THC. Our favorite album is ‘Peacemaker.’ ‘Ride On’ is nice too: ‘...our way of letting everybody know that rock and roll ain’t dead.’ Oh, and the song off their second album, ‘Pissed Off and Mad About It.’ 21+

Is it your first time? Start at the back. Don’t make any sudden moves. Keep your hands near the brakes. Watch out for potholes, oil, speed bumps, and oncoming cars on narrow roads. It’s okay to spit or blow your nose, but first move away from the group.
