Head down to the Power Plant in the Inner Harbor and see what Rams Head Live has to offer this weekend.
Thursday night is The Fight to Unite Tour featuring Kottonmouth Kings. This Southern California band began seventeen years ago and is now an important force in the indie music scene. They have sold over 2 million albums and continuously perform to sold out crowds. The show begins at 6:30 p.m.
Openers are Deuce, Dizzy Wright, Snow tha Product and Eskimo Callboy, whose music is described as “danceable porn-metal, with a pinch of psychedelic glam rock.” These descriptors alone should be enough to peak you interest.
Friday night is A Celebration of Cocktail and Tattoo Artistry, hosted by television personality Corey Miller. The event is presented by TUACA Liquore Originale and features a performance by DJ RaviDrums. The show starts at 8 p.m.
On Saturday night at 8 p.m., Clutch comes to Rams Head Live. They have been described as stoner rock, grunge and metal, but they assert themselves as simply a great rock and roll band. Their new album Earth Rocker was inspired by their tour with Motorhead and Thin Lizzy.
Openers include Orange Goblin, Lionize and Scorpion Child. If nothing else, these guys know how to pick a great band name.
Sunday night’s show goes in a completely different direction. At 7 p.m., Alt-Pop and Americana band Delta Rae comes to Rams Head. Their music uses four-part harmonies infused with Carolina soul.
The performance opens with Sister Sparrow & The Dirty Birds and singer-songwriter Jillette Johnson.
Before a show at Rams Head, you could eat dinner at famous pizza place Joe Squared, where they are willing to put anything in the world on a pizza. You can make your own pie, but their original combinations are the best. Some personal favorites are the spaghetti and meatball pizza and the chicken and corn pizza.
Then there’s a frozen yogurt place nearby called Yolly Molly. Their variety of flavors and toppings are definitely worth a try, especially given the lack of FroYo options in Baltimore.
After a concert there are plenty of bars in the Power Plant to spend the rest of the night. Howl at the Moon is a particularly popular night spot.
So if you’re around Rams Head for a show this weekend, check out some of the other attractions and make a night of it.
