Lush Events:

Open Mic @ Sundays 15 MINUTES OF FAME AND A FREE BEER...

Bringing the rock non-stop 'til we drop!

From alcohol that is...

Past acts have included spoken word, tap dancing, stand up comedy, freestyle rap battles, digeridoo, the Jungle Brothers, and of course, lots of great live music.

Okay, the vibe is strictly fun; no divas (unless they're really funny) just good loud live action. If you can play a bit, play. If you can sing a bit, sing.

And hell, if you can rock, rock out with your c*ck out.

It's all about giving it the good try, and swinging the lead any which way you can. So come and show off your talents, no matter how deeply they may be hidden...

We're set up for amped instruments, but feel free to use our house gear. No need to pre-book! Just roll up on the night, but come early if you want a seat!

9pm / 10rmb


Hosted By:
Rich "Hilton" Akers

In his capacity as Open Mic Co-host, Rich draws heavily upon both his love of showing off in front of an audience and his ex-boy band experience.

Career highlights include: choreographing for Coco Lee, performing for Jiang Zemin at the Great Hall of the People, having simulated sex in the New Seed production of "Suburban Motel" and getting thrown out of Mix for doing the running man.


Jason "The Experience" Pipkin

Teaching, performing, writing, recording, and anything else that can be done with rhythm and pitch... multi-instrumentalist Jason has been making music professionally in different capacities for more than 6 years, playing lead guitar on 2 studio albums as well as personally writing and recording multiple solo albums.

He's a native son of Virginia, which may explain the diverse background of folk, blues, and indie rock that composes his artery-clogging brand of sweet, sweet musical fusion.


Rob "The General" Lein

Ex-English and History teacher (and rumored Navy SEAL) Rob Lein is an old folk tale back in these parts.

Hailing from legendary music scene of Austin, Texas, he's a one-man fungerpickin', blugrassin', countrified, folk hip-hop rhyme spitting, freestyling, knowledge-dropping low-pant wearing cluster bomb.

He's played all over town, but we got him every Sunday co-hosting the Legendary Lush Open Mic.


Movie Night @ Mondays
LUSH PRESENTS MOVIES ON THE BIG SCREEN...

Big fat movies on the big fat big screen at Lush! Nothing arty, nothing meaningful or justified, that is our promise to you. We swear, no Cannes Selection will ever make it onto our DVD player.

Here at Lush, we like crude humor, frequent nudity, car chases and big, big explosions. Oh, and Will Ferrel. What a funny bastard.

Movie Starts: 8pm / FREE!


Pub Quiz @ Wednesdays
PUT YOUR BRAIN ON THE LINE FOR A BOTTLE OF JACK!

Quiz Master Josh pitches the hard questions with a few curve balls thrown in for good measure. Rounds vary each week; topics range from Sports, History and Science to Pop Culture and Music.

First prize is a bottle of Jack and the mixer of your choice but remember, there's no 'I' in team...

Come early unless you think better standing up!

Quiz Starts 8pm / Free!


Hosted By:
Josh "The Brain" Lally

LA born, Vegas bred, the man's got Showtime in his veins, courage in his heart, and mad trivia in his brain. Curiosity has indeed killed many cats, and so has Josh in his eternal quest to procure even more of that sweet, sweet knowledge that he admits "is like crack to me".

He is an American Otaku, a modern day Renaissance Man, the merging of Stewie Griffin, Data, and Comic Book Guy.

In parting, Josh would just like to say "Regis Philbin is a pussy."


Live&Direct @ Fridays GREAT LIVE MUSIC...
