OKG7 things to do
Gazette staff
A few months ago, we described local band Junebug Spade as “all lazy licks and sexual angst.” It’s up to you to determine how on-the-nose we were when the garage rockers invade the city’s iconic Hi-Lo Club, 1221 N.W. 50th, Saturday night, with Sonic Violence by their side. Call 843-1722 or visit hiloclub.net.

Rock

Who doesn’t miss the music the ’90s brought? It was heartfelt, catchy, soulful and universally accessible — everything popular music isn’t now.

Chad Sullins and the Last Call Coalition — Incommunicado
Country
Joshua Boydston
Just a few minutes into Incommunicado, it becomes painfully obvious that Oklahoma native Chad Sullins knows his Red Dirt, country, classic rock and blues, and he blends them into the perfect barn-party soundtrack. The album plays like The Hangover set in Stillwater instead of Vegas, with all the emotions, amusement and reflections therein.
