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

June 28, 2012June 28, 2012 The Fresnan

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]

New Music Tuesday: Actress “Pocket Sounds”

June 26, 2012June 26, 2012 The Fresnan 2 Comments

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:

In Town Tonight: Hammercocks [yep]

June 25, 2012June 25, 2012 The Fresnan

Hammercocks. It's a name that turns you on or off, no doubt. It's the name of Waco (TX) southern rock band that's stopping by Audie's Olympic tonight. Joining in on some cock hammering is Fresno's own Thrawtle and Creeping Green.

As an added bonus to the show, local podcast, Everybody's Doing It with Kris & Laura on www.longbox.fm, will be broadcasting live from Audie's.
