It’s always Rock Night somewhere in Cleveland. This week’s pick is 800 Drugs, a special one-night appearance at the B-Side Liquor Lounge by local hardcore luminaries Pants Pantsley (left, of Oreon and formerly At Wits End) and Nate Jochum (the drumming machine for hardcore animals American Werewolves). Eyesore Clothing is sponsoring a night of progressively unsmooth transitions between undergroundish bands like Joy Division, Jesus Lizard, the Blood Brothers, Queens of the Stone Age, and My Chemical Romance. Expect to see more than a few scenesters.
