I don’t know nuthin’ ’bout booking no nightclubs, but I always think it’s odd that there rarely are any shows booked on the night of holidays that are followed by day’s off. Tonight is a typical example. It’s a Friday night, most of us have had the day off and have tomorrow off, too. Sure, we’ll be bushed from lighting off all those fireworks and drinking all that beer, but that wouldn’t stop us from seeing a show at one of our favorite nightspots (after we’ve made sure no stray skyrockets have landed on the roof and caught the house on fire). And yet, tonight there are no shows going on anywhere. Why isn’t Ladyfinger — a band named after a firecracker — at least playing a gig at O’Leaver’s? Instead, nothing.

Well, I guess we’ll have to wait until tomorrow night, when Satchel Grande and The Song Remains the Same light up The Waiting Room (9 p.m., $7) or The Whipkey Three and Brad Hoshaw play at Mick’s ($5, 9 p.m.).
