Airplane Man and a
Turpentine Brother, and now she's a Missus. Congrats to Tara McManus, who's made an honest man out of Turps bandmate Justin Hubbard. Less than 48 hours after Mr. Airplane Man's final gig, the newlyweds celebrated Sunday afternoon with a private soiree at ye old Abbey Lounge, where the entertainment was to have been provided by none other than Memphis garage-punk/soul/R&B/etc. geniuses the
Reigning Sound (who're

The good news is Reigning Sound are soldiering their way up to Cambridge as we speak: they're still on for TONIGHT with the Turps, playing an open-to-the-public shindig at Charlie's Kitchen in Harvard Square.
