BANDGEEK!: Looks Like It’s ‘Who Gives A Shit About Making A Flier!?’ Weekend In Fresno

May 18, 2012May 18, 2012 The Fresnan

We like fliers. They give info so we don't have to search it out and type it into a blog post. Plus they're sometimes pretty to look at and they give some weight to a show. Just a little pro tip to all you venue owners and promoters. Yeah, I know you're thinking "But I already know this, you asshole blogger!" Do you?…Do you?

Props to those with fliers this week. This is…BANDGEEEEEK!:

Do This Fresno!: Go Mall To Mall

May 8, 2012May 8, 2012 The Fresnan

It is Bike Month douncha know Fresno!? Plenty of things going on in town this month – Fresno is working its way to becoming a biking city, if we're not already. Wednesday is a very cool event called the Mall-to-Mall Ride…actually it probably WAS a cool event since you're probably reading this too late because we totally suck ass and only posted about this the night before…*sigh*

What would have happened is you would have joined up with other local cycle-heads at Manchester Mall and had a escorted ride to Fulton Mall. More details on I Bike Fresno.

Yeah so we missed that. At least there is Bike To Work Day on the horizon.

Tonight @ Fresno: An Excessive Amount Of Things

May 3, 2012May 3, 2012 The Fresnan

Fresno's really showing off now. It's Spring and there's too damn much going on, especially for one shitty blogger to keep up with. ArtHop is tonight with dumps of stuff (artists love it when you refer to their pieces as "dumps of stuff") all over at places like this:

Also, that blog that has never stopped believing that blogs are popular, the Fresno Beehive, are putting on another Tweetup with the Grizzlies, poolside:

Downtown Fresno is all into doing stuff on Thursday nights now:

Arthop is so popular it produces bi-product events:

Oh yes, there's the normal during Arthop live music like the Light Theives playing…

…And post-Arthop live music as well:

There's probably a buncha other junk happening too…after all it is Fresno: lot's of stuff happens here.

SAVE THE DATE!: F.U.S.E. Fest 2012 Is…

April 23, 2012April 23, 2012 The Fresnan 1 Comment

The dates have been decided, local music festival the Fresno Urban Sound Experience is happening September 6th, 7th and 8th this year!

Like last year, there will be two nights (and some day time stuff too) of music. There is also a new third night, a special preview night, during September ArtHop (that's Thursday night the 6th).

There will be a nice mix of new and returning venues this year. Frank's Place at Warnors will return as will Fulton 55 and Tokyo Garden. And there is a nod to year-one as the old Milano's (now the Fresno Brewing Company) returns, plus a couple new spots you'll find out more about later.

Gettin' pumped already. What bands do you want to see play this year?
