Karaoke is actually pretty much a blast, but it’s so much better when you’re singing songs you love. Personally, I can only stomach so much out of key GaGa and Journey before I’m ready to throw the mic into the teleprompter, or, since I’m actually a pretty mild mannered man, simply leave the bar.
These folks from Austin, TX do it right, though. Even the Village Voice thinks so. They’ve got all the punk and indie songs kids like us grew up on. Channel your inner Henry Rollins without getting in a fight before, during or after. Show everyone you can sing as well as Stephen Malkmus without the benefit of a voice coach. Pretend your Mac and dedicate a song to your own personal Laura even though none of those songs were really about her. And, thanks to Narragansett Beer, you can even drink till you can’t remember the words, just like the real Paul Westerberg.
So, come on out to Karaoke Underground on May 12th at TT the Bears.
Party starts at 8:00 PM, we play at 9:30. We get our sing-a-long on around 10:45.
