(It also features remixed/remastered versions of all four tracks from the debut EP.)

When: 9 p.m. Friday

This comes after recent release of the band’s wholly entertaining tribute to The Beatles: “B3tles – A Soulful Tribute to the Fab Four,” which the Jazz Times hailed as something “The Beatles would have approved.” (Organissimo follows this Tip Top show with appearances Oct. 20 at Founders Brewing and Oct. 29 at SpeakEZ Lounge.)
