After getting a tip that 20 Miles are playing a free show at Eight Mile Creek tonight (10pm), I called the venue to make sure it wasn't a practical joke. The 8 Mile guy didn't know the name of the band, but confirmed tonight was the start of 'Rock n' Roll Mondays' (band & dj). (thx Drew)

UPDATE: Drew went to the show. It ended up being a secret (free) Jon Spencer Blues Explosion gig.

"For more than a decade, Judah Bauer has polished the work of his primary band, the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, with a considerably gifted guitar prowess. Having cut his professional teeth forging the guitar-driven onslaught of the Blues Explosion, he buffered his cachet in work with such roots stylists and nouveau Delta blues legends as R.L. Burnside and Othar Turner. Since 1996, the assiduous Judah has been applying a pared down musical sensibility to his continuing fascination with the deeply American idioms of blues, R&B, and rockabilly under the moniker 20 Miles."
