Valor Time

Truckasauras is making their way from Seattle for the 2nd annual Wig Bash. These guys use the Nintendo Game Boy as the main voice of the group, and back it up with a Korg MS-20 and other assorted analog gear to create an electronic/hip hop sound unlike anything you've ever experienced. Rocking trucker hats, swigging Makers and wrapped in the America flag - these guys know how to party.

Truckasauras: Angels Sound Like Bottle Rockets

Saturday March 28: Wig Bash with Shim, Truckasauras, Cyrus Fell Down and See Me River at the BLVD for ages 18 and up!

Rockit

Allright you local music lovers/haters!

The Inlander is having their annual music issue which will include their 'buzzworthy' bands series. Normally the Inlander polls Spokane's best and brightest booking agents, promoters, club owners and divas for their top 5 buzz(cut)worthy artists, sorts the numbers and calls it a day.

But this year, you, we, the average joe(s) will be able to cast (y)our vote for the peoples buzz award! Yes we can!

So click this link and nominate your choice for "the hottest, brightest, fastest-rising band or artist in the Inland Northwest."

No idea who to nominate? There are some ideas to the right.

Don't let this get turned into some silly popularity contest. Seriously, who the hell is 6 Foot Swing?

ps. voting ends friday at midnight.

B-Boy

Rashaan Ahmad returns to the Casbah Friday. Frontman for the Crown City Rockers, he's a hell of an emcee. B-Boy is one of my favorite hip hop songs of all time.

Friday March 27 at the Casbah: Rashaan Ahmad and the Jiggywatts for ages 21 and up.
