Mishap Pick of the Week! Fat Tuesday Celebration at the Make-Out Room With The Gomorran Social Aid and Pleasure Club

Tuesday February 24th, The Make Out Room, 22nd & Mission, 8:30 PM $10

Zoyres, The Gomorran Social Aid and Pleasure Club, Damon & The Heathens

Mardi Gras celebrations all over the world traditionally culminate on Fat Tuesday, the day before Ash Wednesday (the name Mardi Gras actually means Fat Tuesday as it turns out). From what I understand the idea is to get all your sinning out before Lent when you have to give everything up.

Who better to celebrate this day of decadence with than The Gomorran Social Aid and Pleasure Club? After all, they take the second part of their name from the societies of people who build Mardi Gras floats for New Orleans-groups who call themselves “Social Aid and Pleasure Clubs”, and they know a thing or two about getting the sinning started!

Of course anyone who’s seen the Gomorrans before knows that they’re more then just a great Mardi Gras band. Blending elements of Vaudeville, Motown, freak-out psychedelia and a New Orleans funeral you’ll be kicking yourself all through Lent if you miss their return to San Francisco's Make-Out Room. A generous helping of righteous hokum guaranteed!

Also playing that night, Zoyres Eastern European Wild Ferment will help you get all your sins out the traditional Eastern European way with their unique take on that region's music. And for the heathens in the bunch who just want to drink away there nihilism, there’s the horn-filled soul jazz apocalypse of Damon and Heathens.

A night to remember… or forget if you do it right.
