BISS 06 05 09 - Peaches/ Vinyl / RonKat / Taj Mahal Trio/Harmony Festival!!

Tonight, Friday, you have your choice of Peaches (*WIN) at The Grand, or Tracorum @ Mojito, or Vinyl (*WIN) with Socket at the Boom Boom Room.

Tomorrow, Saturday, you can get your music fix early at AT&T park with Monophonics and Stroke 9. Then for your evening plans, I strongly recommend the Boom Boom Room for RonKat's Katdelic *(WIN).

Next Thursday night is the Rex Foundation benefit featuring Taj Mahal Trio at the Silver Oaks Winery. And BISS has FREE ticket giveaways and special ticket offers. We are also putting together a bus from the city so get back to us RIGHT AWAY if interested! I am hearing rumors about some REALLY special guests coming out too! I can't tell you who here but if you see me out this weekend, ask me and maybe I will tell you. ;-) There are many ticket options for this benefit and its for a great cause as you all know! Anyone up for the road trip with me? Check out all the details on the left! Tickets available through Ticketmaster or if you are quick enough FREE FROM BISS!!

BISS is gearing up for the 31st Annual Harmony Festival coming up the weekend of June 12th - June 14th. This is the third year we are sponsoring the Techno Tribal dance. It is a special one this year sin it is the 10 year anniversary. To celebrate they are doing 2 late night shows this year on both Friday and Saturday. And we have giveaways to both!! There is also The Spirit of Miles Davis going on both nights at 10:30 each night in Harmony Hall! Not only that, but we have given so much support to Harmony Fest recently and over the last few years, that we have also caught the attention of the general festival. As a thank you for our support, and when I say "our", I mean YOU, we are giving a pair of tickets for each of the days!! The line up for that weekend is awesome...(and you can win tickets to everything!)
