Just so we're all clear, these are things happening music-wise this weekend in Fresno. Yes, there have been better weekends, but there are still some gems if you want to look. That's what this post is here for. It's… BANDGEEK!:
FRIDAY
FULTON 55: Yes his dad can play guitar but Salvador Santana can score with younger women "TAKE THAT, PAPI!" If that isn't enough, THE Patrick Contreras is playing along with Santana tribute band (see what they did there?), Heavy Weather. Definately the show of the night:
THAI PALMS: The only consistent show North of Shaw is Homerown Fridays. This week it's Jayson Brooks, Screaming Me Me and From The Fallen:
CYC: Frequent Fresno flyers, Maya Over Eyes (San Jose) with Denver's Forty Fathoms and Wyoming's The History Of Hope. Plus locals like We Sunk The Mayflower:
KUPPAJOE'S: It's Kuppa's Summer Kick Off Benefit Show with Saving Temperance, Rachel Belman, SirenSinging and Karlo of The Unbelievable:
SPECTRUM ART GALLERY: Check out Niilo Smeds and Strawberry Jam. Featuring the photography of Gary Christiansen. [$2, 9pm, 21+]
SATURDAY
C.A.F.E. INFOSHOP: This one certainly takes Saturday's show of the night. Being As An Ocean (melodic hardcore from San Diego), My Iron Lung (post hardcore from San Diego), Mr. Fisher And The Hospitality (indie rock from New Mexico), Cabin Fire (Fresnans) and Josh Sagouspe:
BABYLON: Thrash punk metal legends, Dirty Rotten Imbeciles. Plus The Notalauts, F.Y.B., Infinite Agression, Bruiser Boys, Devilkin Assailant:
FULL CIRCLE BREWERY: Rising hard-rock band from Cameron Park, Force Multiplied:
FULTON 55: Hey older dudes, it's The Original Snail, from Santa Cruz:
SUNDAY
C.A.F.E. INFOSHOP: Come out and support Food Not Bombs then hang out with Sin Nombre, Gorila Stomp, Swandive and more:
Well that's what we managed to find, but we admit we don't know everything. 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!
