Tonight, Fresno's Cabin Fire is having a CD Release Party at The CYC for their new EP "Humid City". Maybe it's not the most accessible music there is but that's all relative. We think it's as accessible as hell. In fact, we can access the fuck out of it:
Also playing at The CYC tonight (besides Fresno's Grow), are a couple out-of-town bands making stops: Mahria (Edmonton, AB) and Leer (SJ):
Check you out some Mahria:
Your firework hangover should be cleared out by now. Time to get out there this weekend and enjoy some live music. LET'S BANDGEEK!!!
FRIDAY
KUPPAJOE'S: Fresno Coasts Into Summer with Rookie of the Year (NC), Challenger!, Eryn Woods, Clouds like Mountains, & Get Up & Go:
TOKYO GARDEN: Stopping in Fresno tonight, Olivia Mancini "Olivia writes pop songs. Upbeat, melody-driven, and not interested in being taken too seriously, Olivia-the-music is a lot like Olivia-the-person. Likable." There ya go. Go:
AUDIE'S OLYMPIC: Comedy at Audie's? It makes sense when it's Neil Hamburger. Plus Brian Kenney Fresno opens so now we're totally getting it:
FULTON 55: Assless chaps are encouraged at Glam Corbra will be hitting the stage for a FREE event!:
THAI PALMS: Homegrown Fridays returns after a week off with Keep Your Fingers Crossed, 2 Hours Later and Relion:
In the latest episode of Dorktown, the crew is joined by Eli and Luke from Fresno noise pop band The Quiet Americans. some things discussed:
Click and listen:
Support Tioga Sequoia Brewing because they are big supporters of Craft Beer, Downtown Fresno and Fresno podcasts!

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+]
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]
