The days are getting longer and many of us are ready to get out of the house and hear some live music. You don’t have to go far because Millcreek has plenty of options.

Liquid Joe’s (1249 E. 3300 South) has live music throughout the month including a fun ’80’s dance party with the sounds from Retro Riot or if you prefer to rock in español with a danceable beat like Latin ska then the band out of Denver, Roka Hueka, will be live Friday, June 21.

The end of the month Liquid Joe’s has Tijuana No! a band from Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico. This band was influenced by The Clash, Dead Kennedys, Sex Pistols and Black Flag. They are considered a punk, rock and ska band and will definitely get you up and moving.

Of course, if you want to be the talent, well, there is always open mic night at Boomerang’s Down Under Bar in Millcreek (1306 Woodland Ave.).
