THE BIMINI BROTHERS AT THE DELTAPLEX (Saturday)
If it really was the finale for Biff and Tadd and B-Rad, it was quite the farewell extravaganza.

The Bimini Brothers’ 35th anniversary show at the DeltaPlex Arena on Saturday was just the sort of spectacle that fans of the goofy, spoof-filled Grand Rapids band have come to expect over the years: Rock ‘n’ roll antics galore, courtesy of Dennie Middleton, Nick Lewis and a crazy cast of characters.
As photographer Eric Stoike put it: “Hilarious as usual. Crowded and very involved. Lots of laughing, singing, cheering, etc. Easily the most band T-shirts of the band on stage that I’ve ever seen at a show.”
