Club show pick: Southern Culture on the Skids at Great Basin

A dusty autographed poster of SCOTS sits behind me at my desk here at RGJ Central, marking the occasion when the band played at Big Ed's back in, oh, 2002 I think it was. I got hit with an oatmeal pie. Ah, the memories.

The club: Great Basin Brewing Co., 846 Victorian Ave., Sparks, 355-7711.
Who's playing: It's a two-night stand with the country-fried surf-tinged trailer rock of Southern Culture on the Skids. Hitting its commercial apex in the mid 1990s with the song "Camel Walk," SCOTS has continued to turn out new albums and tour, putting on some of the most fun shows in rock along the way. Find out whether the band still throws Little Debbie cakes and fried chicken at the audience Saturday at 10 p.m. or Sunday at 8 p.m. Tickets are $27.50 at Great Basin Brewing Co., or $30 online at www.1moe.com.
What's flowing: Ichthyosaur Ale, Wheeler Peak Wheat and Stan the Man Brown Ale are the best-sellers among its 11 homemade beers currently on tap.
Also this week: Absynth and Lazio Hollyfield on Sept. 15; Annie B., who's also known as Annette Marie, the singer of former Reno band Jaded, on Sept. 20; Luce on Sept. 22-23.
