Tonight: Moris and PJ rock

We hear that Moris Tepper, onetime guitarist for Captain Beefheart and Tom Waits, takes the stage tonight at the Echo, early, with buddy PJ Harvey on bass. His band Candlebone will open for Tenacious D this weekend at a benefit for the Women's Reproductive Rights Assistance Project. So you can always go see that and do some good. But tonight is Candlebone's chance to practice in front of a live audience. Do you want to be a guinea pig? You can get up right next to the stage where PJ Harvey is playing. Maybe she'll even let you stand next to her at the bar.

Try to be cool and stay to see the rest of the bands: Moonrats, The Moon Upstairs and the Clean Prophets.
