Let The Jenkins Roll Ya

The Nice Jenkins, a musical group of great import and character, will be playing the final show of their 7 city, 10 day tour of the Eastern Seaboard on Sunday night in Charlottesville at Atomic Burrito. They will be joined, as has become customary, by the warrior clan Truman Sparks (and You Are F*cked) - defenders of Trog.

When this tour was being planned, one of the musicians involved confided in me that he felt it appropriate for a band to travel only if they are missed and then welcomed home triumphantly. You, Mr. non-musician, have a duty to musicians and thusly to their wants. Consider yourself lucky. Last thing this guy asked for took some poor schlep 3 months to finish, was over 16 feet high, and was made almost entirely out of giraffe sh*t. Almost.

For any readers in Philly or DC, check the powerhouse at the Vaudville Cafe (tonite) or (and) The Grog & Tankard (tomorrow nite). Check your local listings for show times.
