And to this day, “Bucket Of Fish” remains one of my favorites. Since then, I’ve managed to see ‘em more than a few times – including in their home town of New Orleans and just last June, at a private show in Minneapolis.

This Friday and Saturday, The Radiators are playing their unique and branded Fishhead Music at Bunkers – and with any luck at all, I’ll be there Friday. If I could, I’d be there both nites, ’cause The Rads never – NEVER – play the same sets two nights in a row. Sunday, they’re headlining Duluth’s Bayfront Blues Festival. Again, if I could, I’d be there – I’d make all three shows. If you could, you should, too. Do what you can; clear your schedule, call in sick, whatever – but make time to see at least one. If you like southern/blues/jam/swamp/funk/rock music, you’ll love The Radiators. They’ve been making people dance for 30 years.

Here’s a couple of songs from a private party The Radiators played – enjoy it, and who knows? Maybe I’ll see you at Bunkers, this Friday.
