The Happy Lucky Combo returns to O’Tooles this Wednesday, the 16th and also on September 30th at 8pm. Twice in September! No Cover. No Smoking.
We have missed those happy guys with the music that makes our heart’s dance.
Also, don’t miss the 43rd Street Art Festival this Saturday! On 43rd Street in the southside, of course.
It was loud, hot, crowded, and smokey!
Last night was the Benny-Fit for Hospice. There were tons of people there and more bands then we could listen to.
We only got to see the Good Guys, Orthotonics, and the Beex with their extra special guests! A very cool evening. It was like stepping back in time 25 years.

Lots of faces from the past. A little eerie…but a successful benefit for a Hospice house in Richmond, VA.
If someone knows how it all ended up, let me know.

This Saturday, September 12th is the Benny-Fit For Hospice. The benefit starts at 7:00 pm at the Playing Field at 7801 W. Broad Street. Money raised will go to a fund to start a Hospice House in Richmond, VA.
The Orthotonics have flown in two former bass players, one from Seattle and one from San Francisco and a guitar player is coming down from the mountains to complete the original lineup. The Orthos are currently rehearsing in a secret Southside location and will be playing together for the first time in over 20 years on the 12th!
Orthotonics Secret Rehearsal Space
In addition to the Orthotonics, the bands playing the benefit include: Beex, Dirty Secrets, Diversions, The Big Good Guys, White Cross, and special guests. These bands played at Benny’s, the legendary club on Main Street, that was the center of the Richmond music scene in the late 70’s and was operated by Benny Waldbauer.
Tickets can be purchased at Plan 9 Records and online at Brown Paper Tickets.
You can read an earlier post here or look for The Benny-Fit Facebook page.
