ROCK: Seventh Annual Valentine's Day Massacre (2/16)
Published by Dayna Papaleo on Feb 13, 2008
Aw, down on love, sweetie? Boo f**king hoo. Line ‘em up at the Valentine's Day Massacre, where a Whitman's Sampler of local bands fire off classic tunes about matters of the heart and other, lower organs. This year catch old-timers like The Blastoffs and The Emersons, first-timers such as Old Boy and the Purr-ified Lucky Cats, as well as two-timers like Dudes of Earl, in which three UV Rays and a Grinder cheat on their usual bands while Kevin Wilcox's daddy keeps the beat. So don't expect much in the way of gangland slayings, but know that cocktailed boys and girls under the influence of lusty, well-executed rock always means someone'll get shot down.
