It's New Year's Eve, and there are endless things to do tonight, especially if you're a music lover. But you'd be hard-pressed to find a better bet than Cole's on Elmwood tonight - a bar not normally known for hosting live music. On the super-secret third floor private room, funk-jammers Rhubarb will headline a bill that also includes scene-mainstays Lazlo Hollyfeld and sax-man Eric Crittenden and his friends. Rhubarb's silky smooth grooves should be enough to beckon the new year in with style. According to its website, the Primus-inspired RhubarbSucks.com, tickets are no longer available online, but you might be able to pick one up at Terrapin Station or Headin' to Hertel, or, if they're still left, at the door tonight.

Wherever you choose to bring in the New Year, have fun, and be safe, kids. See you in 2012.
