Yet another fruitful weekend of music for Fresno. Sure hope you have Saturday morning to recover because Friday is going to be rude. Let's BANDGEEK!:
FRIDAY
FULTON 55: It's not often that one of Fresno's top bands of all time, Let's Go Bowling, plays so this one moves from a show to a EVENT:
AUDIE'S OLYMPIC: If you like the Fay Wrays, then you probably like (or will like) The Soma Holidays. That's 'cause The Soma Holidays are kinda the Fay Wray's grandad… or something. It's a big reunion show for the Holidays (we told ya about this, complete with free mp3 downloads) because it's been seven years since they've played together. Keeping the stage warm for them is Achievement House, The Red Coats and straight from Portland (via Fresno and Nashville) is Kat Jones. Good times. [$8, 9pm, 21+]
BABYLON: Diehardz Music presents The Accident Experiment (with Marcos Curiel from P.O.D) Also doing stuff is Down Word, Outside the Wire, Clockwork Hero (Stockton), Kinship, and S.K.O.P.E:
KUPPAJOE: Sacramento alt rock guy, Josiah James. Plus Quiet Science (Merritt Island, FL), Omotola and My Beautiful Surrender. How terribly awesome is this flier?:
THE CYC: The promoter wisely put an early start time for this one as there are a dump load of bands playing: Brotherhood, Limits, Phoenix Emerge, Head Over Heals, Fatty Cakes, Dependence and Lover Boy:
THAI PALMS: Homegrown Fridays returns with a familiar face: This Planet Prelude. Plus I Do Not Exist and No Cause For Alarm:
STARLINE: It was the late 80s (or maybe early 90s) and Bang Tango was a band. That played. Music and stuff. Well God bless them they're still doing it, and frankly…Why the hell not!? Locally supported by Six Day Truce, Hammerdown Sindrum and Tipsy Gipsy:
THE LAMP POST: Local brew plus All Nite Pilots, C.A. Ramirez and Sovereign Stone. [$3, 8pm, 21+]
CLUB RETRO: Hang out with Control Noodle, Restaurnaut and Danny Lango. [$10, 7pm, All Ages]
SATURDAY
AUDIE'S OLYMPIC: Aggressive Los Angeles punk rock from Dirty Filthy Mugs. Playing with pop-punkers Gentlemen Prefer Blood (Los Angeles) and Excessive Use (Fresno):
FULTON 55: If you need to mix some 80s dancing in with your live music, here ya go!:
BABYLON: It's the return of Jimmy O' for Grooveyard. Playing with Spirit Descending and Lowcrawl:
THE CYC: Thrash the night away with Catharsus, Failed Creation, Gary Busey Amber Alert! (BANDGEEK's Name Of The Week!), Evisceration and Forever Obscured:
SUNDAY
C.A.F.E. INFOSHOP: Big fun mix and all on a Sunday night: Blood Beach (Portland), Starskate (Bay Area) Buried at Birth (San Jose), plus a stellar list of locals: The Quiet Americans, Cabin Fire, Still Stoked and Thrashin' Bastards:
Well that's what we managed to find. If you know of a band playing, a weekend event that's not on here, or you want to talk about what IS on here, please use the comment section of this post to its fullest!
