SUMMARY:Sex Panther - Movember 2026
DESCRIPTION:We’re back. Again. Despite overwhelming public indifference. Against all medical advice and several noise complaints\, Sex Panther returns to Block Three Brewing Co. for another night of loud guitars\, cold beer\, questionable decisions\, and raising money for a damn good cause. Armed with an absolutely staggering amount of confidence for a band that still rehearses in someone’s basement\, we’re ready to deliver another evening of surprisingly decent rock music that sure to get you dancing\, singing…..or drinking if neither of those first two apply. We’re bringing a healthy dose of songs you’ll know\, some you wont and a whole bunch of other songs that sounded like a good idea at rehearsal. WHAT TO EXPECT: Fantastic craft beer from our friends at Block Three Brewing. Bad moustaches\, worse jokes\, and surprisingly decent music. A room full of people having a great time while supporting a great cause. At least one song that will go completely off the rails. We’re taking bets. We’ve also got some ridiculous VIP experiences and other opportunities to donate more money than any reasonable person should spend on a cover band. Every dollar helps\, and we’re not above embarrassing ourselves to raise a few extra bucks. Doors open at 6 PM. Music starts shortly after we finish arguing about the setlists and find our instruments. Tickets: $10\, with proceeds supporting charity.
