I just heard that local punky/funky rock act Congratulations!, who recently opened for Girl Talk at the Cain’s ballroom, will play the Empire Bar at 9 p.m. on Saturday (that’s Sept. 15). I think cover’s, like, $2, for charity (pet adoption).
And this just in … There are now confirmed reports that Congratulations! will play at the Continental Club in downtown Tulsa on Oct. 30 with the Gore Gore Girls, a Detroit big beat/powerpop/jangle rock act that recently signed to Bloodshot Records. (You know, the label whose flagship band was Wichita, Kan. band Scroat Belly? No? … Well, that band later became Split Lip Rayfield.

Check ’em out. … Both bands, sillies.
