To us at The Local ARTery, the weekend is very important. It's something that we take very seriously, and you should too—because you only live once, and there are no second chances. So join us on a trip around the weekend, and follow our credo: Turn on ... Tune in ... Go out!

Curation of Sound: A Vinyl Record Listening Experience

Vinyl night is very cool—
The Vatican City Vinyl crew sets up a couple turn tables and spins their ultimate collection of records all night long. If you've ever heard a good LP played through quality speakers, then you know; but if you haven't, then we suggest coming out Thursday night, because it's time to learn. And, it's at Growlers Pub on Sarasota, which is the best craft beer bar around.

According to AcesLiveMusic.com, "The Hip Abduction is a Florida-based 7-piece band that mixes African traditions, rock, and reggae vibes to create their own unique sound. With heavy emphasis placed on dub-reggae-inspired bass lines, funky afro beat percussion, and a 2 piece horn section, concerts never fail to turn into a nonstop dance party."

A lot of bands go for the 60's thing, but without filling their set with Doors and Stones covers, most fall very short—Sarasota's Come Back Alice, though, is not among them. Described as "Funky Eclectic Rock," this band would've fit nicely on any bill at Filmore West, and the integrity of the tradition they carry is rock solid. Listen to Come Back Alice HERE
