Really so much Fresno goodness going on this weekend (you saw this, right?) it's no wonder we're the center of the valley for, like, everything (sorry Pixley).
Let's not forget part of that weekend of awesome is a lot of good live music to check out (even with Kuppjoes and Club Retro taking the weekend off).
CUERVO HOUSE: Where else on the blogs ya gonna find out about a house party? Just don't tell the cops, dude. This show rundown is special too because it comes with free downloads from touring San Diego bands Da Bears and D/Wolves. Download some Da Bears: daydreams.mp3, elvis.mp3, IloveYou.mp3. Fresno is represented by The Grand Armada and Style Like Revelators. [7:00 $3]
STAR PALACE: The Fulton Street Project keeps on...pro_ject_ing. This week it's Seattle alt-rock band Lybecker with locals Mercy Fists and Arty Contreras. Show and ticket info. [Start 8:00 $12]
ARTE AMERICAS: Nights in the Plaza runs every Friday from May through October and this week it features Fresnan favorite, Patrick Contreras. [8:00 $15]
CYC: It's nationally touring death metal band The Funeral Pyre, headlining the show and ... that's all we know. But isn't that enough? Huh? [7:00 $5]AUDIE'S OLYMPIC: If Fresno had a Hot 100 chart for local bands (wouldn't that be awesome?), Strange Vine would be near the top. Now if Madera had one of these charts, Buffalo Guns, would kick ass all over it too. And on somebody's chart is touring Whiskey & the Devil Chaplin:
STARLINE: Dude it's Jetboy with Moto Gruv, Euphoria and the Hobo Code:
SATURDAY
STARLINE: Oh fuckyeah, it's Night Of The Living Shred with a CD release from Disarm the Tyrant and a lot more local metal:
AUDIE'S OLYMPIC: Has San Diego indie/rock band Bitter Sober with locals, Needy Eevy, Asoep and the Fables and 12 Gauge Serenade:
CLUB
BABYLON: There's gotta be something, we just can find what.
SUNDAY
CYC: If Sunday is meant for anything, it's meant for mutafuckinhardcore! Infinite War, Break Through It All, Bridges and the Summer touring: Beartrap and Mountain Man.
So that's what we think looks awesome this weekend. If you know of something else or want to talk about what's listed, please be cool and leave a comment. To make sure your band is listed next time, always email: [email protected]
Enjoy Fresno this weekend!
