Tonight at Sokol Underground is the Speed! Nebraska showcase, featuring The Monroes, Ideal Cleaners and The Diplomats of Solid Sound. It’s also the celebration of a record label turning 10 years old. No idea on the order, though I have to assume that The Monroes will be last up, but we all know what happens when we assume… I say this because there’s a good chance that some of us won’t be showing up until after the REO Speedwagon/fireworks spectacular at Memorial Park (I won’t get there until late due to a wedding). $5, 9 p.m.

Tomorrow night it’s… well… actually I don’t see much going on tomorrow night. If you have any suggestions, post them on the Webboard (which, at the time of this writing, was offline due to server issues). Otherwise, I’ll see you at The Brothers.

Sunday night it’s Little Brazil and The Third Men at O’Leaver’s. As mentioned before, Little Brazil has a whole mess of new songs that’ll be appearing on their forthcoming album, which I haven’t had the privilege of hearing yet. The Third Men are one of the funnest rock bands in the city these days. Last time ’round, in addition to their own toe-tapping originals, they graced us with a rare Richard and Linda Thompson cover. What will they pull out of the bag Sunday night? $5, 9 p.m.
