Three’s a crowd, so here are the top two things to do while parting in Hudson this coming week.
– If you’be been at Dick’s Bar at all in recent months, you’ve probably met Amanda, one of the bartenders. You have a chance to see her again, in a different capacity, on Wednesday when her new band, Smirk Worthy, plays its first gig. Amanda says they can’t be pigeon-holed into any one genre, but that their play list is much like that of The New Skinny, songs that you have not heard for a while, but soon recognize as your toes start tapping. Despite that, don’t think for a moment that they’ve forgotten about the classics. Amanda says that as its lead vocalist, she wants to put a more female twist on many songs that usually are sung by men. That’s worth a smirk. Music starts at Dick’s at 9:30 p.m.
– The band Mock Star gets all dressed up in their rock musician personas and plays Dibbo’s on Saturday night, Nov. 3, in another return engagement that will no doubt feature their unique approach. While they are heavy into “Dibbo’s style” hard rock from its heyday, they know just about anything you can ask to be played and encourages such requests, while at the same time isn’t shy about bringing people on stage. Their theme says it all: “You aren’t just with the band … you’re in the band.”
