This week's hottest ticket is for the No Doubt's show Sunday at White River Amphitheatre, the band's first local tour stop in half a decade.

So last week I got on the phone with drummer Adrian Young, and in the clip below he talks about the butterflies that preceded this tour, fanatical fans and how hittin' the road is different now verses back in the '90s.

If you appreciate bizarre spectacle as much as I do, you'll get your rump over to Hell's Kitchen tonight for Brian Kenny Fresno. His label is Bong Hit Records, if that tells you anything. But after seeing the guy in concert a few times, last at Bob's Java Jive as I recall, I'm still at a loss for words to sum up just how freaky and absolutely heeeeeee-larious this guy is.

Let's see. He's kind of like Flight of the Conchords off their meds and after a few months spent ingesting copious amounts of hash at some desert hippie commune. But there's just, like, one of him, and he plays this weird thing called a Warr guitar.

Nope, still doesn't quite cut it. Eh, just click the videos, y'all.
