The Figgs
With Alive at Five all tuckered out, what are you to do with your Thursday evening? Three-dollar Thursday at Valentine’s ain’t a bad option. Tonight you can catch Blush, Minor Offense and Mod Fiction and have plenty of cash left over for beer (7 PM, $3, 432-6572). . . . Another excellent option would be to head to Red Square tonight for 10-piece Afro-jazz-hip-hop collective PitchBlak Brass Band. They’ll be joined by the Fresh Kicks and Way Down (8 PM, $10, 465-0444). . . . If that’s not enough, come back to Red Square tomorrow (Friday) night for 12-piece Zongo Afrobeat (8 PM, 465-0444). . . . North Carolina bluegrass band Chatham County Line will gather round the microphone at Club Helsinki Friday night (9 PM, $15, 828-4800). . . . The Brew will return to Putnam Den Friday night with the Sound Awake (10 PM, free, 584-8066). . . . Saratoga sons the Figgs will play two local shows this weekend to celebrate their 25th anniversary. On Friday, they’ll play Valentine’s with Guy Lyons. On Saturday, they’ll be at Putnam Den with DJ Trumastr (9 PM, $10, 432-6572; 10 PM, $10, 584-8066). . . . Get out the Aquanet.
