Your normal Bandgeeeek programing will return next week
In the meantime, check out these local music, art resources.
As things happen, Bandgeeek is a bit short this week. It’ll be back full force next week with a feature on Tower Rats and its Studio 9 demo (the first single of which is out now if you wanna do some prep work for yourself).
In the meantime, here’s a few resources you might wanna follow to hold you over.
Fresno! Fresno! City centric Substack newsletter from THE Fresnan himself, Mike Seay. This is general interest Fresno culture stuff, but Seay is a music lover, so you’ll get some of that sprinkled in from time to time. Also see: Perfect Pour, Flowing with Famous.
Spanspek Music and Arts Festival. These guys have been chronicling the scene for a long while now. Follow on Instagram for the Spanspek Spotlight, which regularly features new, local releases. Like, this one from Burn Unit.
Porterville Music Society. These guys do some good scouring, especially for breaking concert news. On several occasions, they turned me on to shows I didn’t know were coming, including this one from Galactic Empire. Follow on Instagram and read my interview with the society’s founder Paul Flores.
Fresno Metal, Rock and Punk. Facebook group for … Metal, rock and punk. Follow for band promos, event fliers, live videos and the like (and a few memes, too).
That’s it for this week. Remember you can now hear me on the Homegrown Show Sundays at 8 p.m. on New Rock 104.1 FM and follow my other writing at The Fresno Bee. If you have anything you think I need to be looking at or listening to, feel free to let me know: jtehee@gmail.com
