Wednesday: Asylum Street Spankers

Mike Paulus |

The killer show this week is on Wednesday over at the Stones Throw. The night before Thanksgiving, you can kick off your turkey-based holiday with the sometimes perverse, always entertaining Asylum Street Spankers from Austin, Texas. Think irreverent song and dance about the magnetic ribbons on your SUV, beer, and the war on drugs. The New York Times says, "Dedicated to acoustic instrumentation, but mischievously unorthodox in every other way." The show’s at 7pm and costs eight bucks.
