BISS is proud to announce the third annual Las Tortugas - Halloween weekend 2008. We had a blast last year and this year can only get better. The line-up will be announced later today! And we will be sure to let you know in the next BISS. Check the web site for details. evergreenhalloween.inticketing.com/
The BISS List is fatter than ever this week, overflowing with summer shows, festivals and local music madness. If you're nervous that you might run out of money if you try and fund all your music desires, don't miss the many FREE shows happening around the Bay Area! Jupiter in the East Bay is hosting RAINMAKER on Saturday, May 24th. Rainmaker will be sharing songs off their newly released album, Long Slow Fade, including the track, "Sweetwater Has Run Dry" about the closing of Sweetwater Saloon in Mill Valley, so make sure to check them out. The following week, you can catch the smokin' hot MONOPHONICS, playing to a crowd of thousands at the Union Street Fair's Gough Stage on Saturday, May 31. Finally, a can't miss show for all of us who can't get enough local flavor : The First Annual Battle of the Bands Showcase and Benefit is taking place in Petaluma five consecutive Sundays this month come out and support the BISS favorite, Monophonics on May 25th. The Five Champions competing in a massive throwdown on Sunday, June 1st. Five bucks OR five cans of food for FIVE bands, that's a virtual freebie! So pack a picnic and grab your friends and head to the Mystic Theatre for any of these fine performances. All shows will be raising money and consciousness for local food banks.
