We've had the pleasure of bringing in HURT many times and each every time their shows been better than the last. That's tough to do considering they're one of the best live bands you'll ever see.

We're stoked HURT are coming back to play the Lucky Mule, along with Abilene bands theObvious and Victim of the Fall.

We just wrapped up Mardi Gras and New Year's Eve is almost a vague memory now. Up next, St. Patrick's Day...the day when everyone is Irish. We've always had a party set up for you, but we've never had 2 of rocks biggest bands come play the party. That is, until this year when we have Sevendust and Lacuna Coil rock your Irish little faces off at the Lucky Mule Saloon.

I can also speak for the Lucky Mule Saloon when it comes to their love for our military as well. It's also no secret that the rock band "Otherwise" (cue their song 'Soldiers') loves the military, which is why they were the perfect band to headline our Military Appreciation Night at the Lucky Mule on Tuesday, February 26th. Joining them on stage will be Abilene bands theObvious and UDP.
