Shanks vs. Streaks

When you’re a Shank, you’re a Shank all the way.

When you’re a Shank, you’re a Shank all the way.

Some people just have good taste. Take, for instance, Tim Foster. While most people know him as the lead singer of Sacramento’s greatest garage band, Th’ Losin Streaks, few know he’s responsible for bringing most of the great acts that accompany them on any given bill. This week’s show includes the Armitage Shanks, the musical namesake of the overseas company that deals in exported bathroom products. Although the Shanks have flown quietly under the radar of most Sacramentans, chances are most Losin Streaks fans will find yet another band to worship. Catch both acts with Dirty Sister in tow at Old Ironsides, located at 1901 10th Street, on Saturday. The cover is a measly $7. The show starts at 9 p.m. Get there early to get properly liquored up.
