Dec. 31
If all it took to get the 40s back together were copious amounts of malt liquor and amplifiers, we might never miss them. The Bywater band of brothers reconvenes at One Eyed Jacks to ring in Jan. 1 right, spreading cheer and drowning tomorrows with a soggy, cockeyed midnight toast. Meschiya Lake and the Little Big Horns opens. Tickets $20 in advance, $25 day of show. 10 p.m. Friday. One Eyed Jacks, 615 Toulouse St., 569-8361; www.oneeyedjacks.net
