March 03, 2010 | 05:06 PM The Vandals, along with opening bands Highly Unlikely and The Skunkdogs, are descending on the West side. (Personally, I think The Vandals should have incorporated their last names into their band name: Quackenbush, Fitzgerald, Escalante and Freese. Really?) Edgy is the buzz word of the night—after all, The Vandals sing the song "My Girlfriend's Dead" with goofy smiling and jumpy antics, suggesting, "jump off a building and join her in hell." I've got to say, this is a much heartier break-up song than the whiny fare bands usually indulge in. Though the members of The Vandals might have been jilted—hey, who hasn't—they have plenty of other talents to fill up their days and nights, including hosting a radio morning show on Barely Legal Radio, performing for U.S. troops in Afghanistan and selling booze. Another Note: Josh Freese, of Nine Inch Nails and Gwen Stefani fame, will be banging the skins. Skunkdog hails from Kauai and define themselves as "hybrid rock… kind of genetically modified, it's not one particular style." Highly Unlikely—well, you know about them. 21+ only. 667-7400.
