Equinox Festival at Folly
March 20 | 5:00 p.m. | Free admission
We made it through another not-so-brutal Charleston winter, and as a reward, Quantum Rock and Jack of Cups are throwing a party featuring live music from some of Charleston's best local bands, including Post-Cobra, Air Sculptures, Clint4, and John Stockdale Band. Freehouse Brewery will be taking over the taps, and be sure to stick around for cool door prizes from Monster Music and more.

Jerky lovers rejoice—this event is for you! EMB is bringing back their beloved jerky contest this Friday. Bring out your best jerky to make the panel of jerky aficionados' mouths water.

Celebration for Jae

Though originally booked as an album release show for their new record, Apocalypse Beach, Zonaea enlisted Dante's Camaro and Scott Dence's one man band to come together to celebrate the life of longtime local music friend Jae Bellamy, who was killed riding his bike in North Charleston in a hit-and-run accident. All proceeds will go to Bellamy's family and to help find his killer.

Frothy Turns Two
March 21 | 11:00 a.m. | Free admission
They grow up so fast. Frothy Beard Brewing Company is turning two, and what would a birthday be without a party? Music, food, and, of course, beer will be available to those 19 years older than Frothy. Following the success of last year, they are bringing back Xtreme Pro Wrestling; although this is part of the party, to enter the arena area, a $8 cover fee is required—but well worth it.

Cyde-Effect
March 21 | 7:00 p.m. | Free admission
Drop a line at Sneaker this Saturday, when they will be hosting TheFIX.fm's first official cypher. Not quite sure what a cypher is? Neither were we. Fortunately, organizer Vaughn Postema of Call Me VP clued us in. "A cypher is a beautiful way to showcase the talent of individuals who choose to dabble in the art of rapping. A group of these artists gather around and take turns giving a 'hot 16' (which is 16 bars, which equates to about 1 minute and 15 seconds). This continues in rotation until the last artist has his or her turn." Dope.
The Independents | First World Problem
March 21 | 9:00 p.m. | $5
South Carolina punk legends The Independents will take the stage at The Sparrow, bringing back their signature blend of ska, Elvis, and the Ramones. They will split the bill with Charleston punk fave First World Problem, who are fresh out of the studio and ready to unleash their raw energy on the crowd.
