Best bet: Thorlock at Breakaway's

Thorlock and The Disappeared will play at 9 p.m. Saturday at Breakaways Bar and Grill, 15 N. Main St. Thorlock is a three-piece heavy-stoney-rock band from Cape Girardeau. Its music is rhythmic, sludgy, riff-heavy, droning and will appease "earflings," what the band calls its fans. The opening act will be The Disappeared, a four-piece band from St. Louis. After Breakaways, Thorlock will spend the rest of August touring in St. Louis. The show is open to anyone 21 and older, and will have a $3 cover. For more information, call 335-9449.
