By Martin Cizmar The Yucca Tap Room's no cover policy has always served me well, usually by getting a bunch of cheap friends to see a cool local band without bitching about their $5. Occasionally, though, things really get interesting, as a national act comes in to play a free show at the delightfully divey bar at Southern and Mill.

No Use For a Name, beloved California Punk band, is playing the YTR Saturday with Pulley, Liar’s Handshake, The Revenge and Casket Life .

So, yeah, translate the show in this video to a bar about as big as a nice-sized garage, with a stage that's about two-feet off the floor, and you've got a recipe for insanity. I'll probably be over at Modified for Elf Power and Vic Chesnutt, since I'm a pretty big devotee of all the Elephant 6 bands, but I look forward to hearing all about it.
