Well, well, well ... one of the great things about the holiday season is the gift of giving, especially in the form of a free show being given to you. Sailor Jerry is putting on a rilly big shew at Subterranean on December 16 headlined by The Dirtbombs with support from locals White Mystery. While this critic admits he does not really get White Mystery (they seem like really nice kids though and this critic admits he appears to be in the minority with this particular opinion) he does really get The Dirtbombs. Mick Collins leads this Detroit bred group notable for their deep, rumbling fuzzy bass sound jet planes on the runways might shudder at. The Dirtbombs are grimy, loud and unafraid to utlize a relatively limited genre--so-called garage rock--to frame unlikely material, including early Detroit techno anthems.

RSVP now for free admission but get there early since we're sure Subterranean will hit capacity in record time.

December 16 at Subterranean, 2011 W North, 11 p.m., FREE with RSVP, 21+
