"Brazen Husky" On a Roll. That's Right, Another Cancellation!

Notice of performance cancellation: The management of The Brazen Husky announced that Christian Grindcore band Howled Be Thy Name cancelled their December performance. The Norwegian rockers did so after learning a previous headliner at the Spenard night spot had been carried off to Hell by Satan in the middle of his set. Blues legend Jellyfish Jones has not been seen or heard from since. The band sent out a press release noting that their contract was clear about allowing them to back out of performances at venues where Lucifer had previously appeared. "As a Christian Band, we believe it would be wrong to follow Satan, even onstage." Said the band's lead singer, who, ironically goes only by his first name, Thor. "We haven't had a gig in ages."

Concert Cancelled, Still Another Unlucky Night at the Brazen Husky

NOTICE OF CONCERT CANCELLATION- An exclusive engagement of Delta Blues master Jellyfish Jones ended abruptly his first night on stage at the Brazen Husky. Jones was known as a guitar wizard with few peers. It was rumored for decades that he went one winter evening to the same lonely crossroads visited by Robert Johnson. There, like Johnson, he met Satan in the dead of night, and sold his soul in exchange for unholy mastery of his instrument. That rumor was spectacularly confirmed when, just a few songs into the second set, the incarnation of evil, Old Nick himself, entered the Spenard club. The Lord of the Underworld announced that he was there to collect, seized the hapless Bluesman and strode past the bouncers with the protesting musician struggling under his arm. All that remained behind was the sharp odor of brimstone and the guitarist's slide, which fell during the brief struggle, slowly rolled to the edge of the stage, and fell to the floor with a metallic ping.
