It was heartbreaking to the Sacramento music community when Luigis reveled that they would no longer have live music performances. The very last show was May 17th, 2014 and included Shouju Kitten, Sneeze Attack, Slime Girls and The Dollyrots. Today we are missing Luigis. To help ease the pain we thought we would share the … Continue reading

Kitten Power.
There are many bands out there today that take themselves far too seriously. However, not all bands are on a mission to take over the world, country, or even local music scene. Some actually still form as a way to bring friends together, to escape the other rigors in life. We all have school, jobs … Continue reading
Cat Hellxia: “pronounced Hell Shaw!”
Cat Hellxia is the kind of artist that it’s refreshing to meet – passionate about her work, aware of the world around her, and still open to what it has to offer. My research turned up a great mix of work from this artist, and actually corresponding with her revealed a genuinely enthusiastic and likeable … Continue reading

Spoke-Tacular: The Crocker Art Mix
This month’s Art Mix was everything bicycles. The Crocker knows how to take a theme and roll with it, no pun intended. May is bike month in Sacramento which made the theme a perfect choice. Visual artwork, specialty built bicycles, a runway show by Juniper James and of course cocktails made the night complete. Music … Continue reading

City of Vain Brings Positive Hooliganism to Sac
City of Vain may just be six guys with a few chords and a truck tanker full of frenzy on stage, but recently they’ve reached out of the Sacramento Punk Rock scene to share their talents with some other folks who bring their own kind of passion and grit to their field…literally. Some might be … Continue reading
A Few and Far Between Women.
Jenn Ponci is a tattoo artist and long time practicing graffiti artist, is a member of the Few and Far women, a group of international traveling graffiti artists.

Frenetic Fiasco
Brent Fiasco grew up a regular and suburban child. It’s hard to remember that as he lies on the floor, his face in a small pile of glass, a nervous volunteer standing on his head. He didn’t officially get into “variety entertainment” until high school when he learned to juggle while riding a unicycle, but … Continue reading
Music for your eyes: El Ten Eleven.
Tim Fogarty and Kristian Dunn formed El Ten Eleven in 2002. We caught the twosome last week at Harlows in Sacramento, CA. El Ten Eleven’s genre is not one that you can place easily into a category. They have been described as math rock, ambient, jammy, post-rock, and everything in-between. Needless to say they were pretty amazing. The two come fully supplied … Continue reading

That’s All Folks: The Last Bows Show
All-ages venues come and go fairly often in Sacramento, but rarely does one’s identity transcend that of local music hot spot and become a gathering place for all things local. Art gallery, café, and vintage clothing boutique are but a few ways to describe Bows and Arrows, the latest and greatest venue to break our … Continue reading

Onward Through the Neon Night
This Thursday’s Art Mix at the Crocker Museum was a bright swirl of neon colors against darkened rooms. In the lobby, there was a lightshow by John Sonderegger and Ted Ternes. It undulated overhead, complimenting the music that sang behind the murmur of the conversations of the crowd. Every hour a pair of aerialists in … Continue reading
