BANDGEEK!: Shitass. Just HAD to pick THIS weekend to leave town… dammit.
Wow, man. This is just a HORRIBLE weekend to be out of town. Hor_rib_le. Both Friday and Saturday are packed out with big quality local talent. Insane stuff for those staying around, having fun in the 'no. Lucky bastards. The fun is explained below… BANDGEEK!!:
FRIDAY
AUDIE'S OLYMPIC: Professional musician (in every sense) Patrick Contreras has pretty much done it all locally. Yeah, I know what you're thinking "Well he doesn't know the first thing about dubstep." UP YOURS! You are wrong, my friend. He's been trying that too and he'll be doing some of it tonight:
KUPPAJOE'S: You were hopefully informed about this show earlier in the week. PK is premireing a new video for the song "Seawolves" plus they're playing with My Beautiful Surrender (Clovis) and The Roos (Visalia). Details:
FULTON 55: For some reason F55 wants to say thanks to Fresno. They're doing it with a free show from Fierce Creatures, Coast Jumper (SF) and the Quiet Americans. Stay classy, Fulton 55. [Free, 9pm, 21+]
THE BEL-TOWER: It's Doll Hair Fest II with a giant lineup of random crazy localness with Checkered Past, Restaurnaut, Still Stoked, Cabin Fire (Just signed to a Portland label), Sci-Fi Caper and more (check the event page for full details). Seriously it's a lot of acts, only a dollar, check it. [$1, 6-Midnight, All Ages]
THAI PALMS: The home growing continues with soon to be big Fields Of Prey plus Corsair and Rise Before The Fall:
THE CYC: Dude if Jabba The Hut has a bounty on your ass, best not go to this show as it seems bounty hunter, Boba The Fett, will be in attendance. The flier says "no disintigration" but it doesn't say anything about freezing people in carbonite:
BABYLON: We don't believe this to be Hands That Kill's last Fresno show… but go as if it is… that's really how we should treat all shows, right?
SATURDAY
STARLINE: These dudes, 40 Watt Hype, never ever disappoint. This may be true of Clouded Vision and Kevin Hayashi but we need more info:
FAITHFULL AND TRUE TATTOO: The Iron Bird Lofts business is moving into year two and want to party with SAHAB, Steve Lucero, Actress and you. Lot's going on:
THE LAMP POST: Between The Cities Are Stars, Westerns and… don't worry, It'll Grow Back:
AUDIE'S OLYMPIC: Another big time professional Fresno musician playing Audie's this weekend: Lance Canales:
SUNDAY
Well that's what we managed to find. If you know of a band playing, a weekend event that's not on here, or you want to talk about what IS on here, please use the comment section of this post to its fullest!
