On Saturday I asked a guy that works at the coffee shop I frequent (and by that, I mean, I go there almost every day, so they named my drink after me. All Ralph or I have to do is walk in, somebody behind the counter holds up one or two fingers, he or I will respond and that many of my drinks are made, regardless if there is a line or not. The owner was the one who named the drink after me. Aaaaah the power of being mayo :P ) and I asked him when his band was playing next. Going back to the Bay Area reminded Ralph and I how much we miss listening to good live music, preferrably in dive bars with good beer. So CoffeeGuy says that one of his bands just played the night before, but this other band he’s in will play *this* Friday. I ask him the name of the band and he says Pink Black. I got really excited because that was the local band that opened up for StellaStarr 2 years ago and we really liked them. So when I told Ralph, we decided we’d have to go see them.
Anyway, our friend’s band, JewDriver, is doing an 8 day west coast tour and decided to stop in Reno along the way up to Seattle. Ralph was checking in with our JewDriver friend to see when they would be stopping in Reno and JewDriver friend says April 4th…the opening act will be Pink Black. Yay! How fun that a local band we liked enough to look for their cd in the Local Band section of Tower, but never found, has two shows, that we know of so far, for us to see.
