Salutations™!!

Bull’s Tavern, the Official Beer Sponsor of The Less Desirables, presents I’ve Been Drinking About You Double IPA from Casita Cervecería, The Less Desirables Beer of the Week.beer

Danielle brought us a good beer this week (well, every week). She brought this lovely gem from a nomadic brewery here in NC, Casita Cervecería. What does that mean? Well, think of it as if it’s a “pop-up” dinner at a restaurant. At a pop-up, a concept restaurant comes in and uses another restaurant’s facility, equipment, and space. This is what Casita is doing. They are creating “temporary” breweries inside other breweries.

This brew, as best we can tell, was made/brewed at Duck-Rabbit.

It was delicious. You got a waft of hoppiness in the beginning but that went away and what was left was a fruit-forward, honey-laiden, sweetish flavor. This is a good beer. It leaves a great lace, too. It’s a bit heavy on the ABV (7.5%) and I’m okay with that. It doesn’t taste boozy, though.

BeerAdvocate has it rated at 4.15/5 (Exceptional) and Untappd has it at 3.99 caps out of 5. I rated it 4.25 out of 5.

Have you had this brew? If so, what did you think? If not, or you just have a hankering for more, you can head to Bull’s Tavern and grab a pint or, if you have a growler, you can go fill it up with this delicious brew.

Tune in to hear the show and find out what Danielle, Bethany, Abigail and I think. You can listen HERE.

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…
Scorp out!

Silver Alert! or: Crowning

Salutations™!!

If you happen to find yourself in Greensboro tonight or feel like a leisurely drive to Greensboro, then consider stopping by the Carolina Theatre and coming up to the Crown to see Abigail Dowd, new band Gasket Hawkins and The Silver Alerts.

The festivities start at 7pm and shouldn’t run too awfully late, that way everyone is home and sound so you can get up and do your St. Patty’s thing in the morning. May I suggest Finnigan’s Wake? They’ll be open from 7am until 2am, with breakfast, lunch, dinner, beverages, and entertainment all day long. I believe they will be doing “the wake” twice during the course of the day.

But, I digress.

The Silver Alerts is Clay Howard (of course), Corkey McClellan, Aaron Burkey, Doug Davis (yes that Doug Davis) and some fat guy with a big silver beard. We’ll be doing a bit of Clay Howard music, which is never a bad thing.

Gasket Hawkins is Doug Davis’ new musical project.

Abigail Dowd is a young singer=songwriter who along with Jason Duff play some beautiful music. You’ll want to see this.

So, again, come on out to Carolina Theatre tonight. It’s located at 310 S Greene Street in Greensboro. And, if you’re wondering, Finnigan’s Wake is located at 620 N. Trade Street in WSNC. Hopefully, I’ll see you at one of the places.

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…

The breakfast buffet starts at 7am, and the main tent opens in our parking lot at 12:15pm with a bar and stage for live music.” – Finnigan’s Wake (the Official Emerald Isle of The Less Desirables)

Salutations™!!

So, we were able to get through an acoustic show as Threadbare Trio +1 at Common Ground this evening. We played with the beautiful and talented Abigail Dowd and Jason Duff. She even got up on stage when we opened for her and did “Stop Dragging My Heart Around” by Stevie Nicks and Tom Petty. We sounded pretty good and Chad Huskey did a great job playing with us. It was fun.1testpattern

Now, it’s time to get some rest, do our regular Saturday thing, get some records and then prepare to go to Test Pattern and do the thing again, this time full electric and loud and with Party Battleship. So, you missed us at Common Grounds, catch us at Test Pattern. The show starts around 9 and we are doing the opening thing (but going last).

See you, then!

Until then, same blog channel…

Threadbare or: Testing Common Ground

Salutations™!!

First off, I know there’s supposed to be an album review here but I haven’t had time to listen to it yet, much less give it an honest review. So, be on the lookout for it later this week. 21762720_1036100056540945_7413643477530722811_o

Threadbare Trio will be Threadbare Trio +1 this weekend when we welcome Chad Huskey back into the fold to perform not one show but two shows. We’ll be playing in Greensboro tomorrow night at a coffee shop called Common Grounds. We’ll be special guests for a young lady named Abigail Dowd. I am not sure if it will be an acoustic or electric show. I play the same equipment for either kind of show so it doesn’t matter to me. That show starts at 7pm or 8pm. Let’s say 7 to be safe. I only say that because, on the event pages, the one on Abigail’s page says 7pm while the one TBT’s says 8pm. Again, let’s go with 7pm to be safe.

Then on Saturday, we are playing the “opening” or “special guest” role even though we are going on last. We are playing at Test Pattern (yes, the home base of The Less Desirables) and we’re playing with Party Battleship which is the band of a friend of all the TBT core members, Shalini Morris. She made a special appearance on the Heavens Sake album, Shinola. I’m not sure why we’re doing the last slot but whatever works, I guess. So, that show starts at 9. There is no cover charge for this one. But, you’ll definitely want to order a few drinks, right? Right.

We’d love to see you at either (or both) show this weekend. Come by, say hello and enjoy some good music. I look forward to saying hi back to you.

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…
Scorp out!
