Club show pick: Cosmic Braincells at Abby's

The club: Abby's Highway 40, 424 E. Fourth St., 322-9422
Who's playing: Cosmic Braincells. Reno's consummate jam band, Paisley Braincells, make up the backbone of the reunited-for-a-night Cosmic Braincells. When Cosmic Freeway broke up in 1999, members of the long-running Paisley Braincells joined a couple of the Freeway members in a new band. By 2004, Cosmic Braincells had reverted back to Paisley Braincells (pictured), but for this free show, at 9:30 p.m. Oct. 27, those missing Cosmic members return.
What's flowing: The Big Lebowski (a white Russian with Effen cherry vodka); chocolate martinis with Van Gogh; on tap are Sierra Nevada, Sam Adams and Michelob, along with 69 bottled beers.
Also this week: Chalice on Oct. 28; Musicole on Nov. 3-4
