Tonight's shows including a Teenage Hooker Factory benefit... just wait, that phrase will make sense in a minute.

Happy Thursday, all my 18 Milers! Well, you know spring is finally in New Hampshire when all the local factory workers and soccer moms with license plates that say stuff like "MAMABER" are all ordering iced coffees at the local drive-thru coffee chains and you can finally again see that broken pencil in your parking lot that's been under six-inches of solid ice....kind of like the swimming pool scene in Poltergeist....all of these buried things starting to surface again. Except, you know, no dead bodies :)

Alright, well I'm not here to chat about the weather, I know you guys want your live music fix for tonight and I've got some great ones! There is one in particular I want to tell you guys about, since its a show for a great cause. Manchester band Teenage Hooker Factory, along with MegaBeast, The Isolated Sequence, and Mothers Virus will play a benefit concert at Milly's Tavern in Manchester tonight at 9:00 p.m. to raise money for the victims of the Pearl Street Apartment Fire. For those of you who don't know, on April 1st, a huge four-alarm fire destroyed an apartment complex at 88 Pearl Street, leaving nearly 100 people homeless. Though, thankfully, no one was injured, many were left with nothing. The show is only $5 and is 21+. Come help out these residents and hear some great live music too. Plus, you gotta love this Howard the Duck poster they've done up for the event!
