BANDGEEK!: Strange Vine headlines and no more Ranch-ing in Clovis
Let's figure out what the hell is going on this weekend, shall we? It's BANDGEEEEK!:
FRIDAY
FULTON 55: They don't get much better folks. Maybe Fresno's best band, Strange Vine. That's fine right there. Also, back from entertaining the troops: Poor Man's Poison. Add to that the return of He's My Brother She's My Sister and you've got one hell of a show:
KUPPAJOE'S: Formally called In Oceans Common Crooks come to Fresno. Playing with Love Is, The Body Rampant, Mongrel City and Weary Hands:
AUDIE'S OLYMPIC: Hard rock that's not to be messed with: Saviours, Meth Leppard and Handlebarz:
STARLINE: Rock with Lowcrawl, Death Alley Motor Cult, Vanishing Affair and Outside The Wire:
SWIGGS: Hey, not everyday old swiggers swigg swiggys has a show. Interesting one with a dude they call "The Subway Idol" Joe Taylor, coming all the way from New York. Famous Whitewater has told us all about him, so go read up and check out the show. [$10, 9:30, 21+]
Found Fresno: Old Cedar Lanes Signs
Of course you know about Cedar Lanes being no more. All of Fresno misses Cedar Lanes already, even if you never bowled there. There is nothing left but a crappy-ass Wal Mart trying to be a Trader Joe’s.
But what happened to the classic signs Cedar Lanes signs? They found their way to the Commercial Neon sign graveyard:
You can check it out for yourself at 5547 North Golden State Blvd. All lanes are open.
In Town Tonight: The Shrine, Assemble Head, Blue Crown and a buncha other cool stuff
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:
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]
New Music Tuesday: Actress “Pocket Sounds”
Little known (too us anyway) Fresno electronic band, Actress, is playing Saturday night at the big send off to The Ranch. Looking like an excellent lineup with other fine Fresnans like Fast Car, Grow and Light Thieves. Plus Elk Grove's The Speed of Sound in Seawater's and Empty Eyes.
Have a listen to some Actress and enjoy some nice mellow Fresno music that's really very good:
