Holy Fuck and guests

Let's call it the Sappyfest side effect: kick-ass shows pop up in Halifax before and after the festival weekend because hey, why not drive a little farther if you're already in Sackville, NB? Tonight the Paragon has two bills you won't want to miss, with the ever-wonderful Jim Guthrie playing an early show (joined by The Skeletons), and Holy Fuck playing their first set in town since the band's New Year's Eve show. Don't you dare use work on Friday morning as an excuse not to dance through both shows---drink your vitamin water, preset your coffee maker and slog your way through the last day of the week. It'll be worth it. –Holly Gordon
