Les Savy Fav plays Whirly Ball on Sat., Jan. 24th
Les Savy Fav will play a Whirly Ball on Sat., Jan. 24th with the Liverhearts.
The Les Savy Fav show at the Earl is sold out, but not all is lost. The day after they play the Earl Tim Harrington and Co. are heading to Roswell to play a Chunklet Magazine sponsored Whirly Ball show. Doors open at 7 p.m. and the show starts at 8 p.m. Admission is $20 (advance) / $25 (day of show), but that also gets you a game of Whirly Ball, which is a pretty sweet deal. FYI a typical Whirly Ball game costs $190 per court and can take up to 10 players (5 per team).-
For those who are unfamiliar, Whirly Ball is a team sport that merges basketball, hockey and Jai-Alai with bumper cars. Throw Les Savy Fav into the mix and it truly will be, as their website so boldly claims, "the hottest party in town."-
The Liverhearts are opeing the show, and this was intentionally booked early in the evening so as not to hamper anyone's plans to go see Paul Collins and Gentleman Jesse at The Earl later that night.-
There will also be a "special," limited edition of 50 version of Les Savy Fav's new LP, Let's Stay Friends that will only be available at this show. So you kind of have to go.-
