IKE REILLY'S 'RESIDENCY' Tuesday-Friday: Nine years ago this summer, the Twin Cities fell in love with Ike Reilly. It partly had to do with his Universal Records debut, "Salesmen and Racists," with classic songs including "Put a Little Love in It," "Duty Free" and "Hip-Hop Thighs." Mostly, though, it was because of a four-night residency he played with his pals from Libertyville, Ill., the Ike Reilly Assassination, at the Turf Club in St. Paul. Legend has it the audience grew in size and rowdiness every night, and some folks are still paying for the damage. Let that be a warning as the IRA goes on its "Hard Luck Residency," another four-night tear named after the crazy new album "Hard Luck Stories." This time, the IRA is changing venues each night, starting with an acoustic gig at the Bryant-Lake Bowl and ending at full volume in the Triple Rock, with a special return to the Turf on St. Paddy's Day. (10 p.m. Tue.-Fri. $12-$15. Tue. at Bryant-Lake Bowl; Wed. at Turf Club; Thu. at 7th Street Entry; Fri. at Triple Rock. More info at ikereilly.net.)
