The Black
Hollies are playing on Thursday, May 8 at the Turf club with
openers The
Floorshakers, href="http://www.myspace.com/theconquerorsminneapolis">The
Conquerors
, and closers Private
Dancer.



You may remember digging a certain song while watching a Dell Computer
ad recently. That's the Black Hollies "Tell Me What You Want". They put
on a blazing show a few weeks back and feature an amazing drummer (aka
the eight-armed wonder) who plays at the front of the stage. Check it
out,  you won't be disappointed.




Also, The Floorshakers were featured April 13th on Chris Roberts Local
show on the Current.



BTW: the Turf calendar has incorrectly listed this show on their
calendar.
