Fayetteville band Basement Brew is back in town for a show at Mojo’s Pints & Pies Friday night. The band just advanced to the finals of the Little Rock Battle of the Bands, where they’ll be battling for the championship on Sept. 1 at Downtown Music Hall. Also, they just released these rad wooly mammoth t-shirts. Maybe they’ll have them at the show.

Denver, Colorado hip hop rockers Flobots will be at The Phoenix on Friday night with locals Revolution Butterfly. They had a Modern Rock radio hit, Handlebars, in 2008. Tickets are $15.
