Failure's Union, Tenement, Humanoids cover set, the Livers! Tomorrow, August 26 at Rue 13

On most Tuesday nights, Rue 13, arguably the lone hipster hangout on Washington Avenue, resembles an auto dealership on Sundays -- only the few souls milling about with nothing better to do are drinking $1 PBRs.

But this should change tomorrow (Tuesday, August 26) when touring bands the Failure's Union (an early '90s-influenced indie rock group featuring Jason Draper, bassist of Lemuria, the Buffalo trio which will be back in town October 23) and Tenement (fuzzed-out pop punk in the vein of Dinosaur Jr.).

And if that wasn't fun enough...

The Humanoids will be playing an all covers-set -- and we have a few teasers for you. A few bands to be covered are: Minor Threat, Dag Nasty, Descendents, Black Flag, Screeching Weasel, Leatherface, among others. (This writer thinks a cover of "Smash the Discos" by the Business would be a shrewd cover song choice, but likely a bad idea.) Last but certainly not least, the Livers are also playing.

The show starts at 8 p.m. and is free -- but it's strongly suggested you bring some cash to support the touring bands, either by buying merch or simply by passing the hat. The show's 21-and-up.
