White Men Can’t Jump

By Austin Powell, July 30, 2009, 3:10pm, Earache!

This weekend Club de Ville is hosting a three-night “Bands Versus Clubs” basketball tournament on its back patio. Within 90 minutes of catching word of the roundball ruckus, OTR had finagled a Chronicle squad into the competition. After all, what club owner could resist the opportunity to throw some elbows this way? Rounding out this weekly’s squad is classifieds guru Bobby Leath, music freelance sharpshooter Doug “Showdown” Freeman, and promotions specialist Dan Hardick, with a possible substitution still in the works.

Red River will be represented by our host, Mohawk, the Side Bar, Jackalope and the oddball out, Waterloo Records. They’ll square off in a double elimination-style tournament against Grand Champeen, Danny Malone, La Snacks, Frank Smith/Bankrupt & the Borrowers, and Blaise Faire. The Chronicle tips off against the Black Angels tonight at 10pm. Spectator tickets are $5 per night or $7 for a weekend pass. As Leroy Smith would say, butterscotch!
