BANDGEEK!: Metal Coffee, Audie’s Birthday, Home Grown Rock, Checkered Pasts, Meth and Abbey Road
Painfully searching for what bands are up to this weekend and filtering it into one Fresno music filled post to produce what's affectionately called… BANDGEEK!!:
FRIDAY
KUPPAJOE'S: Get some metalcore in your coffee with Art By Numbers (Kerman), Catharsus (Visalia), Me The Mountain (San Jose), Drag Me To Shore (Madera Ranchos) and CGR (Madera):
AUDIE'S OLYMPIC: We already gave you a preview of this one. It's Audie's birthday weekend and he's celebrating with rising Portland blues/rock/physcobilly band Hopeless Jack & The Handsome Devil. Plus strong local stuff from Poor Man's Poison and The Giddy-ups:
THAI PALMS: In celebration of their local music show, Home Grown, New Rock 104.1 has teamed up with Art Silva to do some local rock shows every Friday. Tonight has From The Fallen, Bully The Kid and Soul Intact. Check it:
FULTON 55: Long time funk and soul band whom started the East Bay Grease sound: Lydia Pense and Cold Blood plus Cupcake & the Creapers. Tickets. Details:
THE BEL-TOWER: All punk and reggae and local with Checkered Past, Drunx In Public, Still Stoked and The White Glove Service:
Bandgeek!: Coach FuManchu’s Fate Is Under Fire!
Isn't there a movie about the rise of some devil worshiping teen and how he discovers his "magic wand", out this weekend or whatever? Meh. But wait, also, wasn't there some football game tonight? Oh yeah, Coach FuManchu's Dogs against those Boise Football Nazis. Hells ya we're going to watch that shit… at least through the first quarter. But maybe the FuManchu still has some magic left. Probably not, but maybe. Either way, if it's a crushing loss or one of the biggest upsets of all WAC times, you're going to want to go out after and party.
Here is where we suggest you go and support Fresno's music secne this weekend. Hey Fresno! Let's BANDGEEK!!
FRIDAY
KUPPAJOE: Touring goodness from Fate Under Fire. Plus The Day I Ate The Moon, Die On The Vine, Beauty Becomes Beast and Abandon The Silence. [8pm $7 All Ages]
CLUB RETRO FRESNO: Join the EP release fun with Fresno pop-punk band, Vegas Is North. A Current Affair, See You Soon and The Tad Kent Project will be there too. [7pm $10 All Ages]
AUDIE'S OLYMPIC: It would appear Patrick Contreras is playing back-to-back shows at Audie's. Last night the Nico Vega show and tonight he plays with DB & The Struggle plus Cole Fonseca. [9pm? $5?]
THE BEL TOWER: We heard some things like It'll Grow Back playing there tonight. Not sure about anything else. We do know that the Bel Tower has a Kickstarter Page though.
STARLINE: Last time Faster Pussycat came through Fresno, the promoter ran off with the cash and nobody has seen her since. Brave of the boys to come back. Maybe they were lured by the info that Shuvlehead will be there too:
WARNORS THEATER: This show is worth it just to see the inside of the Warnors alone. Swing kings Big Bad Voodoo Daddy. Get some tickets.
SATURDAY
BABYLON: Can food drive with the Cursed, Hands That kill, Hymn of Rlyeh, Goat and Atomic Violence:
STARLINE: Mike Oz loves these kids. They created some nice buzz at F.u.S.E. Fest. They're playing with Hot Shade, Tori Sparks, Corsir and the Ditry Sanchez. And They are: I Do Not Exisit.
CYC: Saturday night is all about punk-metal, don't ya think! Playing is Drown The Hero, Impale The Warfare, Psyche and more. [6pm, Free with canned food]
TOKYO GARDEN: Clovis famous, The Burnouts, plus the Garden of Weeden will be sponsering a fashion show, where everything on the models is on sale:
That's about all the music stuff we could find – and quite frankly, that's enough. But if you know of something or whatever, leave a comment. Otherwise…
…Get out and enjoy Fresno's music scene!
