Messrs. Pinstripe Suit.
Attention hepcats, frails, skirts, zoot suiters and broads: Tonight’s your night. Big Bad Voodoo Daddy swings on the Friday Night Live stage at the Hard Rock Hotel pool, bringing a brass section and a love of Cab Calloway to the open-air arena. Yes, they’re the band that Jon Favreau danced to in Swingers before he became a bigshot Iron Man director. The show will be preceded by the SpyOnVegas.com Open Bar from 6 to 9 p.m. for all your free-booze related needs. Click for more words and pictures »

Hawaiian punk/rock/reggae act Pepper hits the stage for tonight’s installment of Friday Night Live at the Hard Rock Hotel pool. The band, whose “Give it Up” proved the anthem of a generation for dudes trying to hook up with their father’s girlfriend, does its thing following the SpyOnVegas.com Open Bar from 6 to 9 p.m. Explore what else awaits you on another Friday night other than going to see The Love Guru.

Friday Night Live at the Hard Rock Hotel pool brings in Dropkick Murphys, a band that excels at getting you to want to do the two things every good Irish band should get you to want to do: Fight and drink. Not only that, but the Celt-punk Bostonians are really the only outfit going that could do justice to AC/DC’s “It’s a Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock ‘n’ Roll).” There’s an added bonus of free booze via the SpyOnVegas.com Open Bar from 6 to 9 p.m. “The Gauntlet,” after the jump, is so awesome we can even overlook the fact they’re Red Sox fans. Other events at 10 p.m. unless noted. Click for more words and pictures »

Hard Rock Hotel kicks off its second season of Friday Night Live with Puddle of Mudd tonight at 9 p.m. We suspect they’ll play that mid-tempo, minor-key, slow-burn rocker that sounds like the other three mid-tempo, minor-key, slow-burn rockers they have on the radio.
DJ88 will be on the turntables through the whole FNL series, with future acts scheduled including Dropkick Murphy’s, De La Soul, Pepper and Rusted Root.
Get there early tonight, and you can score free booze from 6 to 9 p.m. from SpyOnVegas.com’s Open Bar.
