Don't you dare defy Kopi and not go to the Greek Festival this weekend. You think Kim is his bitch? Ha! Just wait till he gets a hold of you if ya don't show. But when you're not busy greeking out, enjoy some Fresno music this weekend.
Fresnans! It's time to FRESGEEK!
FRIDAY
FRESNO MET: Yeah, now this sounds cool. We read all about it over at Edward Stewart's blog and got excited at the prospect of Rademacher and The Aircrash playing at the Met with the Fresno skyline as a backdrop. Then you add some cake to the mix and we are there - screw the price tag. [Time: 8-Midnight Cost:10]
KUPPAJOES: Fresh off playing Washington's big Tomfest is Holding Onto Hope with I Died, Trinity Sunday and Fall With Honor. [Doors: 7:30 Cover: 7]
STARLINE: Old Fresno band Jungkshen (well, old in band years) has reformed and are better, stronger and faster than before. Trying to keep up will be Writer (SD), Carpe Noctem and Chuck Dimes. [Doors: 9 Cost: 6]
AUDIE'S OLYMPIC: Rockabilly with Three Bad Jacks, The Tantrums and more (holy bloody hell, there's more?!). [Start: 8ish Cost: 10]
CYC: Yes, maybe Throne Of Agony is headlining but don't forget Ezra, Carcosa, Endure The Beheading (ha, nice) and Felt Left Back. [Doors: 6 Cost: 7] Flier:
ZAPPS PARK: It's the night of one name acts with: Hash, Rolow, Tone, Rapstar, Rasp, Pyro, Izzo, All Star Anthony (ahhh way to fuck it up, Anthony) and Savage Sun (oh now it's just ruined). [Doors: 9 Cost: 6]
SATURDAY
Racelegs will be at Zapps, which is very cool and 40 Watt Hype will be at Audie's (yes, cool as well) but it's going to be very hard to pass up the Escorts and Tokyo Death March at Milano. Throw in the fact that it's a fund raiser for Spanspek and the choice is made - Milano one last time:
But if you're not into those bands and you want to stay downtown, the Downtown Association has options with Downtown Sound night. Go to the site for more info:
SUNDAY
There are some guys playing that drink too much, eat too much, smoke too much, bone too much, they're just...too much.
WHATCHA GOT?
PIMP! PIMP! PIMP! Remember, leave a comment and don't be shy about telling us what we missed ("Hey jackass, my band is playing too!") or hyping up your own show. Also, we will think you're badass if you came back and reviewed one of these shows.
Enjoy your Fresno weekend and don't forget to say "OOOPAA!" at some point.
