Now that the holidays have long since passed, and we’ve all gotten over sharing pleasant tidings with one another, we can go back to the business of gawking at celebrity fuckups. And thank God for that. All that peace-be-with-you, auld-lang-syne garbage was making me downright cheery. I thought I was…
As the world gets set to watch each country’s best athletes battle it out at the XXII Olympic Winter Games in Sochi, Russia, many in our region will be rooting for Lake Tahoe area skiers and snowboarders expected to make the cut in their respective disciplines. Remember these names, because…
Kitten De Ville is an international icon of the Burlesque scene. You may have already heard of her upcoming performance, VARIETEASE, at Assembly on Feb. 8, 2014 but did you know she’ll be instructing a Bump, Grind and Movement workshop the next morning? Hosted by Sacramento’s Sizzling Sirens, the workshop…
Well it took a long time (no thanks to the city’s endless hurdles), but Midtown’s newest beer bar, Der Biergarten, located on the corner of 24th and K streets (what was once that ugly vacant lot next to Golden Bear), is finally open! This cozy little open-air German-influenced beer garden…
Be afraid! Be very afraid! Nature’s answer to population overgrowth is on the loose and preparing to strike. A 1500-ton abandoned cruise ship is adrift somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean and it’s been commandeered by a nation of mutant cannibal rats hell-bent on destroying the human race (or at least…
I’ve always thought that The Blue Lamp is slightly underrated in the local music community. Sure, it’s dark inside, a little grimy (we’ve heard rumors it used to be a strip club back in the day) and it’s sort of on the fringe of Midtown (located at 1400 Alhambra, Sacramento),…
It’s been a banner year for civil rights in America. More and more states are legalizing same-sex marriages, and clearly, that’s a good thing. One day, our grandkids will be reading a history text book and think we were all a bunch of cro-mags because we grew up in a…
It’s that time of year when we take stock of things. Another year has passed, and we want to look back and ask, “Hey, 2013, just what manner of year were you?” You can ponder over what that answer might be however you choose. It’s your life, pal, but here…
That’s right, baby! 2007 is back once again to prop up your hopes and dreams. While the rest of these clowns waste their time talking about what happened in 2013, I’m going to tell you about what happened in a year that was even earlier than that one. This makes…
Straight up, Alarms is a badass band. The Sacramento hardcore rock ‘n’ roll outfit first caught our attention in Summer 2012 when they dropped their debut self-titled EP. With shredding guitar solos, gritty, head-pounding rhythms and a sick vocalist, we were instantly hooked and were jamming their tunes in the…
