Onesies: Don’t miss out on the second PHYSICAL CHALLENGE, tonight at Canopy Club! Not only is there a $3 Red Bull-vodka special, no cover, music giveaways and insane music, but FREE EMPANADAS AND PIZZA from 10-11pm! Who cares about a little rain? Come out to Canopy and dance the night awaaaayyyyyy.

Twosies: There’s a big benefit show/battle of the bandz at that same venue tomorrow night, 7pm. It’s an early one, so you’ll be able to catch The Brother Whys, Vanattica,Dr. Doctor Ph.D, The Third Flight, Jack Pine Savage, The Tip of the Nyberg and Storefront Lawyers, all while helping Illini Dance Marathon.

Threesies: Mother Nature is such a tease. Am I right?

There’s a lot going on tonight — a gaggle of Urbana boys performing at Courtyard Cafe, the Charles Lane quintet at Iron Post, Keller Williams at the Canopy. But, over at Cowboy Monkey for just $7 is a V-Day benefit, a concert aiming to help stop violence against women both locally and world-wide, and proceeds from the show will benefit A Woman’s Fund in addition to helping women in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

It’s a great lineup, and even if you can’t catch all six bands, popping in for one or two is worth it, considering the cash money is going to a good cause. (I myself, stuck indoors during this heat wave with a pile of homework, can only catch a set or two but otherwise would be spending my Friday night and Saturday mornin’ reviewing the entire thing start to finish since it’s gonna be that good.) Set times are as follows:

9pm: Tree Thump

9:45pm: The Brother Whys

10:30pm: Common Loon

11:15pm: Sunset Stallion

12pm: World’s First Flying Machine

12:45am: Elsinore

Tomorrow is the first PHYSICAL CHALLENGE at Canopy, and it’s going to be wonderful. 10pm, no cover, show your face and your moves. But, if the promise of cheap Red Bull beverages and bomb giveaways doesn’t lure you in, maybe this will:

It’s a 25-minute mix DJ Belly made that will clue you into just how wild the dance party will be. See you there!
