Must See New Year's Eve Music - The Rivalfish Sweet Sixteen

By Jonah Ansell, Rivalfish Producer/Music Writer, jansell@rivalfish.com

If you're anything like this fair Cubs fan, you've been let down by dear ole 2006. Cushion the inevitable failure of your favorite team in 2007 by kicking off the year with a high note.

Sure, the midnight deadline is near, and you have probably already committed your dollars to a social bandwagon you could care less for, simple because you didn't want to be drinking gin and tonics in your parents' den to a Carson Daly backdrop. It's time you stand up and say "no" to those overpriced, underwhelming New Year's Eve parties.

Rivalfish encourages you to trade small-talk for hard-rock at one of Rivalfish's Sweet Sixteen - a list of can't miss New Year's concerts across the country, to ensure that this New Year's is better than the last. You'll have to find venue and ticket information yourself, we're not going to do all the legwork for you.
