What do you think of when you think of the nineties? Is it the fashion? The music? The state of the world at that time? Or is it the soulpatch?...that abhorrent clump of hair portruding from the bottom lip that somebody was crazy enough to say "this looks cool". Well it doesn't. Under no condition does a soulpatch look cool.

Fortunately Soulpatch the band is pretty cool. I mean they obviously have a sense of humor to call their band Soulpatch. Plus it's pretty cool that the band is an all nineties cover band featuring Keith Buckley and Steve Micciche of Every Time I Die and Joey Dynamite and Niko Georgiadas of Quintana. I also think it's cool their playing tonight at DBGB's (10pm) along with DJ Dante Velour.

Do yourself a favor. Go see Soulpatch tonight at DBGB's. And if you have a soulpatch go to the barbershop, have him shave that thing off your face and tell him you're sick of looking like an asshole.

There's a mysterious event called "A Quintana Christmas" happening tonight at DBGB on Allen Street. I couldn't find much information about the event, but something tells me this isn't going to be your typical holiday singalong. The only evidence of Quintana's existence is the video below, from Artvoice TV, which shows a band called Quintana rocking an old Stooges cover at DBGB. If you're interested to know what rough-edged, garage-rock versions of "Jingle Bells" and "Let it Snow" sound like, this might be the event for you.
