Starting about 8pm at The Upstairs at J. Grundy&#8217;s Rueb &#8220;N&#8221; Stein, this night will feature <!--more-->straight-up Rock and Roll.  The schedule for this evening is a little different than the other Friday night, in that we wil stay at the Upstairs until closing.  (All other weeks have seen us travel to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.contentedcow.com\/\" class=\"broken_link\">The Contented Cow<\/a> afterwards).  This week will also feature a <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Rock,_Paper,_Scissors\">Rock-Paper Scissors Contest<\/a>.   Brendon Etter has also been formally invited to smoke a real cigarette while reciting lines from &#8220;Krapp&#8217;s Last Tape&#8221; by Samuel Beckett.<\/p>\n<p>MR. STICKY are the guys that for the past five years have been rockin&#8217; Halloween night with the sounds of Led Zeppelin&#8217;s II, Weezer&#8217;s Blue Album, Beck&#8217;s Midnight Vultures, Cake&#8217;s Fashion Nugget, and Red Hot Chili Peppers&#8217; Blood Sugar Sex Magic-100% live&#8230;100% cover to cover. Mr. Sticky began early in the spring of 2001 when college roommates and long-time musical compliments, Hutch and Z, teamed up with a duo boasting an even longer musical history\u2014 Jeffy and The Doctor. This collection of musicians recognizes the spine-tingling, hair-raising, chilling, and profound impact of auditory stimulation and seeks that recreation with every sound. Mr. Sticky wants to take the world for a ride with the top down and the tunes up. They carry a penchant for highly volatile groove-ability with a history of packed dance floors. Mr. Sticky&#8217;s dynamic sound rocks hard and rolls smooth, but above all, connects with you. Loaded with rhythm, adrenaline, and instrumental wizardry, Mr. Sticky reinforces rock lessons learned long ago.  Mr.Sticky&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mrsticky.net\/\">webpage<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/mrstickymusic\">MySpace<\/a> page.<\/p>\n<p>TOASTER FORK started out as a basement band six years ago, and has finally hit the studio to make a CD they are proud of.  They feel AmpliFIRE will appeal to a neglected generation.  Toaster Fork are just a few guys with regular, ordinary lives who decided to finally pick up instruments and make some music for those that are enjoying a slice of Midwest Americana. What makes them unique? They are a band that feels it is more positive than negative, a band with nothing to prove, rather, a chance to rock and make a few people feel better about life. Hope you can find a few minutes in your schedule to give them a listen.
