Enjoy some live music: Itching to hear some live music? Kenny's Westside pub has got your back. Mike Dillon & Punkadelick will be playing from 5 to 8 p.m. tonight. Mike Dillon is an American percussionist, vibraphonist, bandleader and vocalist born in San Antonio, Texas. He is a member of Critters Buggin, Les Claypool’s Fancy Band and Garage A Trois.
