This new one from Fresno’s Fashawn has exploded on the internets today (led by a post from Fresno Beehive). Fash integrated all kinds of Fresno in this new one called “One More Try”. He uses Fresno (cough) “legend” Timmy T’s One My Try and makes it all his own – with the help of Omar Aura.
Check the Fresnoness!
Seattle indie power-pop band The Hoot Hoots. Also this show has nice Fresno backing from Restaurnaut, Sci-Fi Caper and Fatty Cakes.
Listen up on some Hoots Hoots:
You just really have to love Friday night for the good mix of stuff. Saturday you may need to just dance it out with Prince.
How bout we BANDGEEEEEK!?:
FRIDAY
AUDIE'S OLYMPIC: Tonight's big act, Peter Case, is one of those dudes you kinda know, should know, but maybe don't. He's been around a ton of people, influenced a ton. Singer of the LA based The Plimsouls whose song "A Million Miles Away" was a big 80's hit featured in the movie Valley Girl. But he never quite got over the "big-time" hump. Seriously, check out his resume, it's quite extensive. Point is the guy is talented and shouldn't be missed. Peter will go on first at 9:30 followed by Fresno's own The Backstabbers and Third Rail Power Trip. Good stuff, Fresno. [$8, 21+]:
FULTON 55: Stacked up with hard rock from Mercury Bullet, Beta State, Relax Reload:
C.A.F.E. INFOSHOP: Heads up for experiemental grindcore type stuff with Gaza (Salt Lake City, Utah), Cabin Fire (Fresnans), Tide Mouth (Santa Clarita), Grow (Fresno) and Gorrilla Stomp (Fresno):
STARLINE: Breakout hit from Rogue Festival, Gayle And The Bowties, playing with Fresno alt-country band, Back In The Valley:
KUPPAJOE'S: Time to check out Valkyrie Missile, The Current, The Red Airplanes and Mercy Fists:
Like always, there's a lot of music throughout ArtHop tonight. Such as Brother Luke at [P*DE*Q] for Melissa Olson's hop. And there's always Jazz Hop [click to enlarge]:
