On Monday night, Oct. 23, the Cincinnati-based powerhouse KELLY RICHY BAND makes its debut at the Parrot. Critics have hailed Richey as "Jimi Hendrix trapped in a woman's body with Janis Joplin screaming to get out."
On Wednesday night, Oct. 25, FATHEAD returns to the Parrot, 10-2. Here's what the critics say aobut this band: "Fathead is a driving force, some sort of cosmic entity, a Battlestar Galactica-like black hole, sucking everybody and everything into its spiral belly button and then collapsing on it."
ALTERED EGO, a band on the creative edge of music culture, will be at the Bull this Wednesday, Oct. 25, 9-2. Something different for Fantasy Fest week.

These guys are hot— sort of like an "unplugged" concert of all your favorite bands.
