Once Thanksgiving's out of the way, y'all are going to want to go out. Grab your out-of-town friends, don those totally killer retro fashions and come to this party.

Guess who's gonna be there. Thassrite. Industrial dance icon Nitzer Ebb. Live.

For those who lived (and partied) in Tulsa in the '80s and '90s, Club SRO (and RadioSRO) is/was a "lifestyle" founded, in large part, by local skate-shop owner, LA Gear co-founder, promoter and Tulsan Tim Barraza. Its fans were of all colors, stripes, sexes, orientations, high styles and preferences. "As we'd always say, 'Do whatever makes you happy, just don't hurt anybody.'"

Nov. 26 and Nov. 27, that culture will see a revival with the SRO reunion and 2-day music festival, featuring a icebreaker, original club and radio station DJs Michael Sanchez, Chris Martin, Corbin AND a meet-and-greet on Friday, plus a live performance from Nitzer Ebb on Saturday.

It also will debut a new public awareness and safety campaign, Missy's Keys4Cabs. Learn more about Missy's legacy on Facebook,

The "keys for cabs" program will give revelers a safe, reliable way home, provided by local cab companies in conjunction with local bars and restaurants. Look for the "Keys4Cabs" logo, tell your barkeep and present the cabbie with a voucher. It's that simple. Really. Venues and entities already behind the program include The Marquee, Crystal Pistol, the Wolfgang Punk restaurant, Full Moon, Blue Dome Diner, the president of the Oklahoma Restaurant Association, Budweiser and the Tulsa Community Foundation.

Barrelhouse Beat

Barrelhouse: A colloquialism describing the low saloons at the turn of the century (19th) that served whiskey straight out of the barrel. It's also a reference to the type of music played in those venues. Ex: Barrelhouse music.

Beat: The time or timing. Ex: The band played with a solid beat. Also used as a term describing a reporters specific area of expertise. Ex: The music beat.

About me: I'm Okie born and raised, and have lived all over the state: Oklahoma City, Enid, Moore, Norman, Edmond and Tulsa. I am a music geek, writer, graphic designer and amateur photographer and videographer who's followed the Tulsa and regional music scene since I moved to Green Country more than 10 years ago. I've been enmeshed in Tulsa's varied and vibrant musical night life, what some of us affectionately call a modernized throwback to the Barrelhouse scene, since that time. I fell in love with it. I fell hard.
