  BANDS: Lydia and PlayRadioPlay! VENUE: Rubber GlovesTIME: 10:30pm After prying myself away from Billy Roy's One Man Show on the Square, I grabbed a bite to eat. Then off to Rubber Gloves it was. And, actually, the atmosphere inside the venue was stifling. Walking from the bar into the performance space, a palpable 20 degree temperature difference was easily detected. Oh, that and the overwhelming smell of body odor.Just breathe through your mouth, I told myself. The dusty room had thick

  ​Thanks to all the area musicians, DJs, loacl music fans, and, well, everyone else who stopped on in The Libertine last night to check out the little experiment we're calling The Local Hang with Playlister P.

And, as we've seen i
