    There’s also live music at Poggie Tavern – The Slags should be playing around 9:30 pm. Old favorites like “My Girlfriend’s Sick” a Kino tune and others like “Brooklyn Casey” as well as some new tunes like “Wndmills on Niagara” and “Civil Duty” – hard-driving punk and reggae and ska.

  • WSB April 23, 2010 (3:37 pm)

    The Slags! Unfortunately the Poggie is one of the last few unwebbed establishments around here and we have no calendar to refer to – gonna just go down and see the flyers, I guess :) Is that tonight or tomorrow? – TR
