In Town Tonight: Typical Thursday Night Kickass

August 23, 2012August 23, 2012 The Fresnan

Like it. It's seems Fulton 55 is opening things up a bit. Doin' some punk action, we see. Big Sexy Anus Kings are playing… wait. That was supposed to be seperate. Big Sexy and Anus Kings yes AND Anus Kings are playing…. Anus Kings. Plus the return of Fresno's Beastmaker and maybe the first time It'll Grow Back plays F55 we thinks:

Audie's Olympic. Fresnan Sahab, Mondo Deco (Sac-town glam) and Style Like Revelators (Fresno bluseyrock).

The CYC. Kayo Dot is a "compositional/avant rock band" out of Brooklyn. Wreck & Reference is "experimental drone" music from Los Angels. Strawberry Jam (Fresno) and Ovarian Office… isn't playing, but Eindrah (Fresno) is taking their place so it's cool:

In Town Tonight: Uprooted and Animal Kingdom

August 20, 2012August 20, 2012 The Fresnan

AUDIE'S OLYMPIC:

Southern Cali reggae and hip-hop act, UpRooted. Plus Papafish (so-cal ska) and local backing from Checkered Past and The White Glove Service.

FULTON 55:

They come all the way from England. They've played their Brit alt-indie rock with the likes of the Silversun Pickups and Vampire Weekend. They are Animal Kingdom. They are playing with Atlas Genius from Australia – we've heard that's very far from Fresno too.

Cool Animal Kingdom video:
