A member of the Wowz played with The Wave Pictures at our Knitting Factory show before SXSW. Tonight the two bands share a bill at Mercury Lounge.

Speaking of Mercury Lounge, there's also an early show at the venue featuring the comedy group Murderfist.

About tonight's Bruar Falls show, headliner Antietam says, "Brett is a punk rock ex-footballer poet teacher with a powerful presence and a huge heart. T and T last shared a stage with him in Louisville, 1982. Go here to learn more about Brett and here for the Undeciders. This will be special!"

Starkweather isn't playing Public Assembly anymore tonight.
