For lent, I'm giving up blowing off blogging about music. In honor of my new out-of-retirement ways I'm going to write about my favorite from this year's crop of out-of-retirement bands,
So who is my favorite out of retirement band to hit the fest this year?
It's Detroit's own Goober and the Peas who play the Continental Club on Thursday, March 18 at 11PM.
Goober and the peas are the the finest, funkiest, cow-punk band you'll find that comes from Detroit. My pal Lee-roy insists their the finest live band ever. While he says that about many bands, I must admit I'm sad I haven't seen them. It's been 15 years since they played outside of Detroit Rock City.
Did you know they once employed a drummer named John Gillis who later changed his name to Jack White after marrying Meg White and starting the White Stripes?
Now you do.
It appears they have come out to dispute heinous criminal accusations that they hope to dispel. Check out more on their MySpace page.
Me? I've finished my blog free ways to build the excitement over the next month...The countdown begins...The Adult spring break known as SXSW begins in 4 weeks and 1 day.

Holy crap! Goober and the Peas?!?
I don't know if they're *the* finest live band ever. But I did mightily enjoy a show of theirs Lee dragged me to one time.
If they're selling CDs at the show, please pick me up one of each, I'll pay double the price.
