The Ebb and Flow of The Ville...

As in the Decembers of years passed, things are beginning to look a little more like Gainesville around here. The nomadic members of the university's student body have begun their semester's-end migration back to whatever place it is that tempts their desire never to return.

But we all know they all come home, and until they do life in Gainesville will be a little bit slower, traffic will be a whole hell of a lot lighter and those long, cold lines to get into downtown bars and clubs will be- for a far too brief period of time- gone.

No worry, other than booze and techno there isn't too much out there to tempt us away from our heated blankets in this ungodly-cold 65 degree weather we have here in Florida.

If you're hankering for a ho-down, though, keep an eye on gainesvillebands.com

Until 2007...

Lacin' Up My Music Boots...

The Gainesville artist, Alligator Shoes have a very busy month of December this year. That will make it very easy for you to catch this newly formed indie, progressive, funk, rock fusion band.

Originally forming as Jackie Suarez back in 2005, they reformed and renamed late this past summer and played their first gig on Nov. 6.

They can be seen this Saturday, Dec. 2, at Backstage Lounge. The show starts at 10:30 p.m.

If you're not a fan of that venue, they're playing two days later, Dec. 4, at 1982. Doors are at 9 p.m. and cover costs $6.

Don't worry, though, if you miss them both these days they still have three more shows in December and one in early January.
I'm sincerely hoping they don't burn themselves out, because these guys have some great songs.
