Ah, the magical time at the Hub when those guys and gals who wear their acid washed jeans and white sneakers all year long, get to appear like they are purposely dressing up for the show, just for this one special night. 24 Seven 9pm, House of Rock Free Fallin 9pm, The Garage Bar. Shes a good girl, she loves her mama. Loves Jesus and America too. Shes a good girl, crazy about Elvis. Loves horses and her boyfriend too. Come on, you know the words.

Tuscan Road 9pm, The Windbreak Saloon. Cant explain why but this name made me simultaneously think of Italian food and John Denver. Inspiration. Tuscan roads, take me home.

Saturday March 16 Poitin 6pm, The Aquarium. Starting at 6pm on a Saturday downtown? Bring money for a cab because it could be a long, fun night. Moving Parts with Charlie Johnson 7:30pm, The Winery. I wonder why Moving Parts is in quotations? When they say their band name, do you think they do air quotes with their fingers? Why doesnt Charlie get quotations? Is he not good enough? Or does he think he is better than them and condescends them by giving them air quotes? So many questions. I need to go see it now as the suspense is killing me. Kid Rock & Bob Seger 8pm, The Fargodome. Sweet Siren 9pm, House of Rock Q5 9pm, Hooligans Hollywood Boulevard 9pm, The Garage Bar. The band is essentially like Hairball so you can get your nostalgic kick two nights in a row. Viva la upper Midwest; we sure like our hair metal and 80s tribute bands. Who doesnt feel like holding a pretend microphone stand and swaying when you hear an Axl Rose imitator?

Fargodome! FARGO THEATRE www.fargotheatre.org for show times OR to donate $$$ for digital Quartet (PG-13) Beecham House is abuzz. The rumor circling the halls is that the home for retired musicians is soon to play host to a new resident. Word is, its a star. For Reginald Paget (Tom Courtenay), Wilfred Bond (Billy Connolly) and Cecily Robson

(Pauline Collins), this sort of talk is par for the course at the gossipy home. But theyre in for a special shock when the new arrival turns out to be none other than their former singing partner, Jean Horton (Maggie Smith). Her subsequent career as a star soloist, and the ego that accompanied it, split up their long friendship and ended her marriage to Reggie, who takes the news of her arrival particularly hard. Can the passage of time heal old wounds? And will the famous quartet be able to patch up their differences in time for Beecham Houses gala concert? Amour (PG-13) - Two of France's best-loved actors, both in their eighties: Jean-Louis Trintignant and Emmanuelle Riva star in this touching portrait of a longtime married couple whose bond of love remains unbreakable against any hardship. Georges and Anne are retired music teachers living in Paris. When Anne has an attack, Georges devotes himself to her care. Fully subtitled. United We Rise: 2012 Bison Movie Premiere Fri 3/15, 7pm
