I’m sick, dangit. However Live and Local will be hosted tonight with Andy Pants!

Sunday, March 23rd, 2008 @ 2:06PM

The LL show must go on even though I may have the beginnings of what could be the dreaded respiratory flu that everyone is getting. I sure hope to God not!

So join Sr. Pantalones tonight for X96 Live and Local from 8-10 pm. He’ll play new music from Lord Mandrake and Let’s Become Actors, and for the holiday you’ll hear The Gorgeous Hussies’ “Chocolate Bunny”! Funny ass entertainment, that is. Straight up at 8 tonight!

Lord Mandrake played Kilby last week and they are always a joy to watch. Colin Fugit, baby brother of “Almost Famous” and “Wristcutters: A Love Story” star Patrick Fugit (who is in another local band you should check out: Mushman!  http://www.myspace.com/mushmanstories) is one of Lord Mandrake’s vocalists, guitarists, keybordists, and also plays other instruments. Talented dude. He’s quite the versatile musician! Let’s Become Actors (featuring former members of The Brobecks) have their CD release party this Saturday, March 29, at Kilby Court in SLC. Mike Gross, Dave Chisholm, Matt Glass, and Ben Johnson are some of the more talented young artists in Utah, so I highly recommend going to their big event. Kilby is an all-age venue. 330 W. Kilby Ct. (741 S.) All Kilby shows start at 7:30 pm. Also, Insatiable is opening for Bad Manners this Wednesday at In The Venue. Insatiable doesn’t play that often anymore, so I’d catch them at this show. If I’m not dead by then, I’ll be there.

So please tune in tonight at 8:00 pm. for X96 Live and Local. I hope you enjoy the playlist that Andy has for you tonight, and don’t forget to call in with your Utah band requests! 1-877-602-9696. Texting is always fun, too. Don’t forget to add your name. 79640 is that number. If you are requesting your band, heck, make up a name! It will be fun. One time at the old, old Vortex in Exchange Place I got hit on my an inebriated fellow. I introduced myself as Babs Bunny, and he called me Babs all night! Good times.

Next week John Allred and By Tonight will pop by the studio to talk about new happenings in their musical worlds.

Oh, and when you’re sick, monkey PJs and green daisy socks look very Paris right now. It’s hot!

Peace out, Happy Easter, and take your vitamin C and wash your hands frequently kids!
