The Comet in Northside presents a special New Year’s Eve shindig Thursday night with a reunion show by one of Cincinnati’s finest bands of yesteryear. The Auburnaires were kind of the like the house party band for Cincinnati’s Jockey Club/ post-Jockey Club Punk scene, playing down-’n-dirty Garage Soul/Funk/R&B with an electrifying energy. The band — fronted by enigmatic singer Vince Gray and fueled by James Cole of The Customs fame — is playing only its second show since splitting in 1991. The band has posted an amazing new song, “Gator Tail,” at its MySpace page: myspace.com/theauburnaires.
