Choose these. On Thursday, May 1, recent Westword profile subject Judge Roughneck holds a CD-release party at the Bluebird Theater, and the Reverend Horton Heat prays at the Fox Theatre (the Rev also appears at the Ogden Theatre on Saturday, May 3). On Friday, May 2, Kingpin strikes at the 15th Street Tavern, with Inferno and Los Terribles; the Damn Shambles and Gestapo Pussy Ranch are fit to be tied at Seven South; and the Czars invade City Spirit. On Sunday, May 4, the Bug Bottom Bash, an event to benefit the Bug Theatre, takes place at the Rock Bottom Brewery. On Monday, May 5, Kill Switch...Klick gets industrial at Seven South, with Two Minutes Max; Mucis gets dyslexic at the Fox; and Lutefisk (lauded in our recent SXSW overview) opens for the Breeders at the Ogden. On Tuesday, May 6, the Saw Doctors drop into the Bluebird, with Shawn Strub. On Wednesday, May 7, Red Yak celebrates the official release of its new enhanced CD at Herman's Hideway. And speaking of enhanced, you computer types who want to read our review of the May 1 U2 show before next week's issue can do so the day after the concert at the address below. How modern you'll feel.
