SATURDAY

FRESNO BREWING COMPANY/FULTON MALL: Biggest show Catacomb Party we've seen all year and one of the more unique ones. The Fulton Mall (out front of FBC) will be turned into, basically, a music festival venue. Lots of good bands, lots of good beer, highlighted by a performance from the Firece Creatures. Plus music from Fast Car, Strange Vine, The Slient Comedy, a reunion for the Argyle Pimps, Achievement House, Coast Jumper, Animal Eyes and Bell Thieves. And did you get that it's free and open to all ages? Yep:

We normally aren't together enough to post about comedy stuff happening in Fresno but this one looks good. Mo Collins and Rebecca Corry are performing Downtown at Club One. Great room, great comedians, buy some tickets and check'em out tonight!

Listen To This: Remotely Drunk – Dorktown Podcast #119

July 17, 2012July 17, 2012 Mike Seay

We just had a lot of fun with this one. Too much? Yes. Annoying sometimes? Yes. But good times. Dorktown's first ever guest, Aaron "The La Selva Beach Connection" comes back and gets rude with the gang. As usual we talk (over each other) about: Fresno, Clovis, craft beer, beer beer, Gold Lays, sexy Armenians, extra holes, other podcasts and so on. We also play a mega Or Game/Forit Or Againit/Is It Metal.

Make sure to listen for the remotes with Dead In 60 Years!! Plus some live Light Thieves and we play the new Fierce Creatures. BONUS remote with the mom older sister of Whitney Freeman from Achievement House. There may even be a "Bert" Easter Egg in a remote or two.

It gets real "drunk-y" so be warned. Have a listen:

Let. Fresnans… BANDGEEK!:

FRIDAY

KUPPAJOE'S: God will be watching Dreamers, Your Hero is a Villain, Before Kings, and The Vera Project. Will you?:

FULTON 55: Definitely the big show of the night. The last time 40 Watt Hype headlined at F55 show it sold out. So getting tickets ahead of time might not be such a bad thing…a non-Fresnan thing but still. Also local reggae rockers Clouded Vision and electronic popper Sahab:

THE REVUE CAFE: Hit the backroom for The Diry Dirties and more:

THAI PALMS: Homegrown trippled hopped rock from This Planet Prelude, For The Record and No Cause For Alarm:

STARLINE: Maybe we've seen one-too-many fliers but we think THINK maybe, just maybe, we see some sort of subliminal type symbol or message in Local 13's logo:

THE LAMP POST: Local METAALLL with Hands That Kill, 9th Level, Dawning Of A Massacre and Fatal Rebirth. [$4, 8pm, 21+]

SATURDAY

AUDIE'S OLYMPIC: It's the Fresno Beard & Moustache Club's three year anniversary and all beards will be flared for Gayle and the Bowties, punk tributers The Misshits, Meat Wagon Apocalypse and That Guy Kevin:

In Town Tonight: Inspector Gadje at Audie’s, Finish Ticket at Fulton 55 + Finish punk at some dude’s

July 11, 2012July 11, 2012 Mike Seay

AT AUDIE'S OLYMPIC: San Francisco Romani Balkan brass band, Inspector Gadje. Not sure if they're bringing everyone on the trip but there are 16 members in this band so things could get kinda crazy (especially if they all have 'drink chips' at the bar). They're playing with Fresno's Cerro Negro.

Inspector Gadje:

FULTON 55: San Francisco alt-pop band Finish Ticket, plus acoustic punk dude Weary Hands and Fresno's own Le Wolves. [$5, 9pm, 21+]

Finish Ticket:

AT THE THUNDERDOME (house party): You may need to know someone at Fresno DIY Project or maybe Threat Level Rising to go to this show. But if you do, you get to catch some Finland punk from Haistelijat:
