Welshly Arms' First Annual Celebratory Winter Solstice Extravaganza!
When: Sat., Dec. 21, 9 p.m. 2013
Named after a Saturday Night Live skit, this local band released its debut EP, Welcome, earlier this year. Informed equally by blues and classic rock, it's a strong effort; album opener "Two Seconds Too Late" is every bit as raw and rocking as anything by the Black Keys. They haven't played locally much this year so this show, billed as their first annual winter solstice extravaganza, should be a good time. (Niesel)
