The Fair Shakes

Saturday night South Park Tavern will be rocking with two great local bands, each with a stellar lineup. The Fair Shakes are fronted by Nick Kizirnis and features John Dubuc, Deni Wilson and Jim Macpherson. Their sound channels the fun, classic garage rock sounds of bands like The Replacements and the Ramones. Get a taste of what you’ll see on Saturday night from the band’s YouTube offerings.

If the Fair Shakes don’t get you on your feet, C. Wright’s Parlour Tricks will. The band features Marc Betts, Brian Hoeflich, Tim Flanagan, and occasionally Josh Gonazalez, Steve ‘Henhouse’ Hensley, Joe Prescott. Their guitar-driven instrumentals combine good old fashioned rock and roll with a bit of boogie and lots of showmanship that will make you want to move.

Saturday’s show begins around 9pm and costs $5. Like most every show at South Park Tavern, it’s all ages.

….er, Tuesday, December 14th. I’m sorry I’m a bit late this week, and I debated going into the whole story of why. I’ll give you the cliff notes version: there was a show I had heard about that I had considered using for Music Video Monday except that when I went to find the details online, they were nowhere save for a vague reference on the band’s Myspace page. The venue hasn’t updated their calendar in months, and it really makes me sad because I think it’s going to be a great show. Pardon the rant, but the long story short is my plea to both venues and bands – do the very basics to promote yourselves. Please and thank you.

After we ring in the New Year, I’ll be doing a series of posts about that very topic here on DaytonMostMetro.

Onward to today’s video. The Fair Shakes are a fantastic local garage punk band fronted by Nick Kizirnis. They’ll be playing at South Park Tavern on Saturday, December 18th with A Shade of Red. Details on the show are at the Dayton MostMetro events calendar.

Here are the Fair Shakes performing last winter:
