Boise Bad Guys to tear up Bargeway Pub tonight; Gorge entertainment raucous 'n' rollin'

Boise Bad Guys to tear up Bargeway Pub tonight; Gorge entertainment raucous 'n' rollin'

Bargeway Pub & Catering’s Entertainment Weekly

By Jim Drake

Parade of Bad Guys will bring their blend of country rock to the Bargeway Pub tonight, Aug. 3 at 6:30 p.m.

“Parade of Bad Guys plays a mix of rock 'n' roll and alt-country. Often compared to bands like Drive-By Truckers and Lucero, Parade of Bad Guys' songs range from acoustic sing-alongs to loud and rowdy rock,” according to the band’s website.  

“As a fifth-generation Idahoan, Ben (the band’s guitarist/singer/lyricist) tends to write songs about his family heritage and home state. Although the lyrics primarily deal with real events and people, the band aims to capture the breadth of the human experience. With songs about heartache, moonshine, restlessness, apocalyptic rats, space travel, loneliness, reptilians, and death, no topic is too sacred or too strange for Parade of Bad Guys.”

And that’s just the appetizer in this week’s feast of music.

About the Play

Bob: A Life in Five Acts chronicles the highly unusual life of Bob and his lifelong quest to become a “Great Man.” Born and abandoned in the bathroom of a fast food restaurant, Bob energetically embarks on an epic journey across America and encounters inspiring generosity, crushing hardships, blissful happiness, stunning coincidences, wrong turns, lucky breaks, true love and heartbreaking loss. Along the way, Bob meets a myriad of fellow countrymen all struggling to find their own place in the hullaballoo of it all. Will Bob’s real life ever be able to live up to his dream? BOB is a comedic exploration of American mythology and values, the treacherous pursuit of happiness, and discovering what it means to be truly “great."
