As an attempt at full-disclosure I will admit that I am a member of that coveted male 25-54 demographic and as such I find myself tuning into local sports radio station 1310-AM The Ticket --probably a lot more than I should. Judge if you must, but once you make it past the obligatory fart drops you discover bits of gold, such as local country act the King Bucks . The band features former members of the Drams (Chad Stockslager and Keith Killoren), members of Sorta (Danny Balis and Chris Carmichael) and a one [...]

What better way is there to kick off Thirsty Thursday than by stopping by The O's official CD release celebration tonight at 7pm at Good Records and partaking in some of the free beer they're offering?
