Tonight we rock with Canada’s finest shredding longhairs, Ladyhawk. Don’t let the middling reviews fool you, these boys bring it every time they come to town with boozy, head-bangin’, Southern fried rock reminiscent of master shredders like Neil Young and J Mascis of Dinosaur, Jr. Doors at The Beachland Tavern open at 8, with the music starting at rock o’clock. Neva Dinova and Jakeway are opening.
