July 6, 2012July 6, 2012 Mike Seay

Your firework hangover should be cleared out by now. Time to get out there this weekend and enjoy some live music. LET'S BANDGEEK!!!

FRIDAY

KUPPAJOE'S: Fresno Coasts Into Summer with Rookie of the Year (NC), Challenger!, Eryn Woods, Clouds like Mountains, & Get Up & Go:

TOKYO GARDEN: Stopping in Fresno tonight, Olivia Mancini "Olivia writes pop songs. Upbeat, melody-driven, and not interested in being taken too seriously, Olivia-the-music is a lot like Olivia-the-person. Likable." There ya go. Go:

AUDIE'S OLYMPIC: Comedy at Audie's? It makes sense when it's Neil Hamburger. Plus Brian Kenney Fresno opens so now we're totally getting it:

FULTON 55: Assless chaps are encouraged at Glam Corbra will be hitting the stage for a FREE event!:

THAI PALMS: Homegrown Fridays returns after a week off with Keep Your Fingers Crossed, 2 Hours Later and Relion:

In Town Tonight: The Shrine, Assemble Head, Blue Crown and a buncha other cool stuff

June 28, 2012June 28, 2012 Mike Seay

AUDIE'S OLYMPIC: This one should pack out Audie's. Nice to have our boys The Fay Wrays and The Quiet Americans out again. They are joined by Assemble Head in Sunburst Sound (SF) – their sound "…is a soundtrack for strange days and futures bright and bleak. But there is also a crooked thread that runs backward through every Assemble Head record." Also playing is The Shrine. They came through town recently and are "…young, backyard pool-shredding, acid-dropping Californians." Show details:

FULTON 55: They are making this a tough choice, maybe hit this one before Audie's. Fresno's own Jailbreak (rockabilly, americana), Blue Crown (members of Let's Go Bowling, Circus Bogus and more) and Westerns (just damn good rock). Should kick ass:

VENI VIDI VICI'S:

PINOT WINE BAR:

CAFE INFOSHOP: We believe there will, allegedly, be Threat Level Rising, Superheroes In Training, So It's Come To This and Decrats (Corona). [$4, 7pm, All Ages]
