If your high school days were anything like mine, you used to break into a moonwalk (or at least some semblance of one) when Alien Ant Farm’s “Smooth Criminal” would come on whilst you were getting ready for school in the morning. Come Nov. 14, you can relive those days when Alien Ant Farm performs at Every Buddy’s Bar in Chippewa Falls. For those of you who don’t know (and may I say, shame on you), Alien Ant Farm is a sweet American rock band from the West Coast that made it big in 2001 with their hit cover of Michael Jackson’s “Smooth Criminal” (hence the moonwalking at the dance, people)!  Since then, they’ve gone on to rock crowds with other hit singles such as “Movies” and “Glow.” If you’ve never heard Alien Ant Farm’s rendition of “Smooth Criminal,” check it out now and be prepared to dance because that’s what this song does to you! Then, after solidifying your killer dance moves, get down to Every Buddy’s Bar on Nov. 14 to see AAF in all their glory!
