Taste is the stuff we play, how we play it, but, more importantly, the stuff we don’t play. Tenacity of course is stick-to-it- iveness and we have been pretty good at sticking around,” Gibbons says via email. The whiskered rock stars have stuck together for 45 years, joining the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004, with 11 gold and platinum albums, and releasing their latest album, La Futura, in 2012. The iconic band’s sound has evolved with the times, incorporating synthesizers and other harder rock elements since the ’80s, but their performance energy and love of blues remain. “What we do is a hard, blues-based thing prompting being big believers in feeling it before dealing it,” Gibbons says. “These days, it’s combining and creating digital-to-analog files to keep things totally mixed and blended. We get into the spirits and turn it up!” The band has the familiar sound of traditional Texas blues combined with jovial lyrics and sexual innuendos. Some of their hits that you maybe forgot you knew include “Tush,” “Leg” and “Sharp Dressed Man.” From recent performances, you can expect to hear these as well as a ZZ Top-ified cover of Jimi Hendrix, who Gibbons performed with early in his career. After the band’s formation in 1969, ZZ Top broke out almost immediately in a word-of-mouth blaze. “We just got out there and cranked it out — essentially a non-stop groove. We didn’t even realize that our stuff was being played on the radio nationally until way after the fact,” Gibbons says. The trio is currently on tour with UK-born guitarist Jeff Beck, formerly of the Yardbirds. Beck and ZZ Top will perform full sets and take the stage together later in the evening. ZZ Top performs with Jeff Beck and Tyler Bryant 6:30 pm Sunday, August 10, at Cuthbert Amphitheater; prices vary. — Gina Ginsberg COZMIC The Spiritual Bat, Black Magdalene, Ghost House—8pm; Rock, world, $6 DEXTER LAKE CLUB Big Monti Amundson—9pm; Rock, blues, n/c DOC’S PAD Evolve Saturdays— 9pm; EDM, hip hop, n/c DOWNTOWN LIBRARY Ugandan Orphans Choir—1pm; n/c DUCK INN Karaoke—10pm EL TAPATIO CANTINA DJ & Dance Music—9pm; n/c FRIENDLY STREET MARKET & DELI Will Brown—6pm; Acoustic, n/c GRANARY Tyranno Tut & Tinnitus the Night—10pm; $3-$5 THE GREEN ROOM Electric Weekends w/DJ Stephen Rose—9pm; Electro house, dub- step, n/c HAPPY HOURS Eddie Butler Band—8:30pm; Classic rock, n/c LEVEL UP DJ Rock ‘n’ Roll Damnation—9pm; ’70s & ’80s rock, heavy metal; n/c LUCKEYS The Sheshen—10pm; $5 MAC’S The Sugar Beets, Satin Love Orchestra, Hank Shreve Band & more—noon; Benefit, $20-$25 MULLIGAN’S PUB Norman Mesman—8:30pm; Flamenco, n/c O BAR & GRILL Patrick & Giri— 7pm; Acoustic, n/c PLANK TOWN BREWING Wild Hog in the Woods—9:30pm; Folk, n/c PORKY’S PALACE Karaoke— 8pm POUR HOUSE Karaoke—9pm QUACKER’S Ladies Night & DeeJay—9pm; n/c RAVEN A PUB Karaoke—9pm ROUTE 5 Troupe Carnivale— 6pm; Folk, blues, n/c SAM BOND’S Stagger & Sway— 5pm; Americana, n/c; Whiskey Chasers—9:30pm; $5 SONNY’S TAVERN Karaoke— 9pm SPRINGFIELD VFW Mckenzie Express—7pm; n/c TAYLOR’S BAR & GRILLE DJ Crown—10:30pm; Hip hop, dance, n/c TRACKSTIRS Karaoke—9pm; n/c TRAVELER’S COVE Peter Giri Trio—6pm; n/c WESTEND TAVERN Karaoke— 9pm; n/c WHISKEY RIVER RANCH Bump in the Road—9pm; Country, $7 WHITE HORSE SALOON Karaoke; Code Red—9pm; n/c WILLIES Taste—7pm; n/c WOW HALL Grieves, SonReal, Fearce Vill, Architex—9pm; Hip hop, $13 adv., $15 door SUNDAY 8/10 AGATE ALLEY BISTRO Karaoke— 9pm; n/c AXE & FIDDLE Anne-Marie Sanderson—8pm; Singer- songwriter, n/c BLACK FOREST Double Deuce, Pirate Radio, Wetsock, Not a Part of It, Everyday Automaton—9pm; Punk, ska, n/c COWFISH Just Listen w/DJ Qamron Parq & Guests—9pm; Soul, deep house, n/c CUSH Open Mic & Jam—7pm; Variety, n/c L I V E .
