Recommendation  #1
HopMonk Tavern

Dogs In A Pile, an eclectic quintet merging funk, jazz, and rock and roll with psychedelia, is coming to The Junction this Wednesday. 

Dogs In A Pile, a band of five twenty somethings with old souls and limitless chops, is waking people up to the timeless and ineffable joys of psychedelic-tinged jazz-funk rock n’ roll. The band presents a completely original vibe built on kaleidoscopic soundscapes eerily reminiscent of the days of yesteryear.

HopMonk Tavern

HopMonk presents a hilarious evening with comedian Scott Capurro this Thursday.

An internationally acclaimed stand-up comedian known for his razor-sharp wit, fearless taboo-smashing, and brilliantly dark humor. Scott has performed to sold-out audiences around the world — from major comedy festivals to theatres and clubs. A master of the unsayable, Capurro skewers politics, culture, and human hypocrisy with performances that are as thought-provoking as they are outrageously funny. His work spans stand-up, television/film and radio (he's a frequent guest on Alice Radio's Sarah & Vinnie Show), earning him a reputation as one of comedy's most original and uncompromising voices.
