That’s right. After announcing their hiatus in September, these Danville Screamers are back and ready to kick your ass again. This March 4th, they’ll be playing at San Francisco’s Bottom of the Hill with I the Mighty , who will be fresh off tour with Sacramento’s K Sera. Additional support for the show is TBA. This is one not to miss.
Picture Me Broken have another new guitarist.
This show will be TBATB’s (Ex-The Subtle Way) debut show, and excuse my French, but it will be FUCKING HUGE. If you Suburban kids stay at home that night, we just might TP your houses. RSVP HERE, and don’t you dare click “Maybe.”

Basically Ashland Hall didn’t have a specific permit in place that the Alameda county required all places holding concerts and live music to have. Subsequently the county stepped in (with the threat of major fines or the possibility of being arrested) not allowing us to throw anymore shows until said permit was acquired. At the moment representatives from Ashland Hall along with Fernando Oliveira are working on plans that can be submitted to the county for this permit. Once the permit is approved then shows can resume at Ashland Hall. Until then it is just a waiting game when and if the approval of the permit comes.
At the moment Fernando and I are talking to a couple venues in the East Bay to hold shows in the near future until Ashland has its permit approved. Plans and the hopes are to hold shows at a few different venues (Ashland Hall being one of them) in the near future to help further the growing East Bay music scene and give bands the chance to play more often in the area.
is Raelin’s new/old guitarist.
Thought this would be a fun thing to do.
