Sacramento’s Memorial Auditorium hosted a unique concert this Friday. Unless Disney’s Imagination Movers have played at the Memorial before this was a one of a kind event. The audience was made up mostly of 5 to 11 year old kids who brought their parents and grandparents to a unique concert show. I’m not sure when they started to put up barriers in front of the stage at the Memorial but a low railing extended about 4 feet in front of the stage. As with any other concert, many fans stood in front of the stage and this concert was no exception. A couple of dozen kids stayed in front of the stage with their parents sitting nearby for the duration of the show. The Imagination Movers, in case

A hypothetical question for Dave Matthews Band from the fans in Sacramento, as we prepare for this weekend’s show at Sleep Train Amphitheatre: Did we piss you off? That question could actually come from all of Northern California in general. Seriously, what the “hella” has been going on the last few years? DMB’s 2006 tour ushered in what many of us here in the River City thought/hoped would be a new tradition.

Throughout the 15 years the group has been making music, the Deftones have built up a dedicated fan base that includes devotees of metal, experimental, hip-hop and alternative sounds. To date, the Deftones have released six complete albums (not counting the 2005 B-sides and rarities CD), and each one delivers a different sound than the last. “Adrenaline” is filled with all the emotion and raw material that should constitute a band’s first album, while their softest a

One Wednesday every month, if you drive down J Street, you will see hundreds of people lined up outside of Sacramento Memorial Auditorium. New Americans born all around the world are waiting to celebrate one of the proudest days of their lives. Once inside, these patriots will take their oaths and be sworn in as new citizens of our great country. If you look closely, you will also see a number of folks going through the line, carrying clipboards. These hardworking volunteers are helping the new citizens register to vote, so that they can fulfill one of their core civic responsibilities. Engaged citizens taking part in the process, helping to elect our leaders and making decisions on impor
