<strong>Friday at <a href="http://thesoundpony.com/">Soundpony</a></strong>. Benefit for Brandy Iliff. Brandy is a local bartender and local concert organizer who is battling kidney failure and in desperate need of a kidney transplant. There's a suggested donation of $5 and in exchange you get to see seven of Tulsa's greatest and most rowdy bands (I'm pushing for Rowdy Rock to be a new sub-genre): Northside Hot Dogs, The Dulldrums, Lizard Police, Midtown &amp; Down, Lunar City, Barf Makeout and Rude Amps. 

<strong>Sunday at The Colony</strong>. As one of the bands you'll find regularly at
<a href="http://www.thecolonytulsa.com/">The Colony</a>, Pilgrim is a prime example of "The New Tulsa Sound" as featured on <a href="http://www.thecolonytulsa.com/#456/soundcloud">the great compilation of the same name that was released last year</a>. Blues-y, rock-y, red dirt-y, the band's sound has a little bit of it all. And seriously, if you haven't yet seen a show at The Colony, it needs to become part of your New Year's resolution
package. There's great music coming out of that place almost nightly. 

<strong>Coming up Thursday at <a href="http://www.cainsballroom.com/">Cain's Ballroom</a></strong>. Taddy Porter could very easily be the next band from Oklahoma to make a major national impact. For that matter, it could easily be Vandevander too, whose song “1000” was recently used on a promo for HBO’s “Weeds.” Basically, you need to be at this show. <em>Especially</em> if you’re a fan of, say, The Black Keys, or other blues-influenced rockers.
