Hacking Away with Betty Machete

Saturday, July 21

Saturdays at Scotty's are always bound to be entertaining. This week is no different as it prepares to host a variety of punk rock bands. The speakeasy-style martini and cigar lounge will host Betty Machete & Angry Cougars, The Trotts, Maniacal Device and Detroit Red on July 21.

The Columbus-based five-piece Betty Machete & Angry Cougars claims to rock like no one else, and they have the frenetic sound to back up that claim. With fierce buzzsaw guitars and gritty female vocals, the high-energy blend of garage and punk rock is sure to be a potent one. For fellow five-member punk band Maniacal Device, this will be their first show since their recent album release of Analog Revenge on July 13.

Accompanying these two, The Trotts host a similar Erie-grown punk set list. To close the night, "hot and nasty" Detroit Red will play a selection of original garage rock tunes. — Hannah McDonald
