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+]
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]

In Town Tonight: Vanaprasta, The Rocketboys and The Mowglis
Let's hope Fresno can represent with more than two people tonight. Three good touring bands playing tonight headlined by Vanaprasta. The LA band recently released their debut LP Healthy Geometry to warm reviews by the likes of Filter Magazine and Google Music. Vanaprasta is a rock band with a 'stadium guitar-wave' sound. Give a listen to their tour sampler and have a few free downloads while you're at it:
Also playing are The Rocketboys. The Austin, TX band just released a new album Build Anyway and are also getting a lot of national praise for it. Have a listen here:
