Okay, we've really beat you over the head with this one.  Today is our first ever Beach Party at Sunset Bay Beach Club.  There will be live music all day starting at Noon for a measly $5.  Drink specials include a free drink with admission, as well as 2 for 1 drinks from 2-4pm.  In case you haven't heard the bands, check out the Artist Spotlights we've been doing on them all week:

12pm - Handsome Dan
1pm - AUTOPUNCH
2pm - Aircraft
3pm - The Tins
4pm - Canary Girls
5pm - Nelson-Type

It took a lot of backstabbing, blackmail, and prostitution to get this party off the ground... as well as favors from old friends and hard work from the people who make the wheels of this music scene turn.  I've met a lot of intelligent individuals while writing for this blog, and they do it tirelessly for no personal gain.  One of the perks is we get to throw parties with our favorite bands.  So put on your mankini and join us for some fun in the sun. We only get to enjoy it for a short time a year, like egg nog.

The second spotlight for our beach party focuses on AUTOPUNCH. AUTOPUNCH is a Buffalo, N.Y. rock-and-roll band whose sound has been described by The Buffalo News as "a disarmingly inventive hybrid of soul, psychedelia, funk, alt-rock and good ol’ jamming."  Their music is heavy and it can kick you right in the teeth.  Many influences can be heard in their tunes, Umphrey's McGee drunk on Tom Waits comes to mind when Ive been asked for a comparison(thats an awesome thing.) Earlier this year, the band released its first full length album entitled, Songs.  AUTOPUNCH will be performing at our totally awesome beach party for only $5 while the sunshine and high fives are free!
