Weekend music update

While a woman never reveals her age, high school reunions are a great way to figure it out. Pasco High's 10 year class reunion is today at 7 p.m. at Jack-son's in Kennewick. If you think that's old, Pasco's 30 year reunion is next Friday, Aug 14 at 6 p.m. See how the high school jock and cheerleader couple turned out. My guess is they're probably a bit flabbier...

Some people can age with dignity. Like a fine wine, the Burner Brothers have gotten better with age and have racked up some street cred. Performing with huge stars like Van Morrison and Huey Lewis, this hard rock blues group has one mission in mind these days: To tear off the roof and take no prisoners. A tip of my invisible hat to these boys who will be playing at Dax's in Richland on Aug 15 at 9 p.m.

While on one end of the spectrum we have people who age brilliantly - on the other side there's people who...I'm not sure really age at all. Behind all the makeup and masks, Slipknot just plain scares me... in a good way. Nobody pulls off I'm-a-creepy-murderer-but-not-really-this-is-just-a-disguise-guys kind of costume like the guys of Slipknot. See for yourself on Aug 23 when they come to the Toyota Center in Kennewick. They'll be sharing the stage with Anthrax and Black Dahlia Murder.

While most people are gearing up for the return of Project Runway, you can learn about the Dara Quinn Project. The acid jazz improv group will be performing at Dax's in Richland on Aug 29 at 9 p.m.

In more surprising news, Ray's Golden Lion has ceased all shows for the time being. While a representative could not be reached at this time, we're sure they have a pretty good reason for it. If not, they can go f--- themselves. Just kidding - I love you guys! Shout out to Stan!

We're gearing up for the Faire and Rodeo and before you know it, it'll be time to scarf down as many elephant ears as possible. Mmm, deep fried animal parts...don't worry, I don't eat dogs unless they're hot dogs. What's wrong with you people??
