Blow Pops reunite to recapture the magic at Shank
The Blow Pops play Friday night at the club, 1434 N. Farwell Ave., along with Ward and Jeff and John Murphy from Shoes. Show time is 8 p.m. and the cover charge is $10. We caught up with Jarvis last week and asked about the gig, the band's popularity on the Web and the prospects for making this reunion a bit more permanent.

No, Virginia, The Carolinas have not broken up
With a sprawling family tree populated mostly by drummers, one of Milwaukee's best roots rock combos may appear inactive. But don't be fooled. The band is working on a new CD, with guest appearances by members of Cheap Trick and Wilco.
