Almost Forgot: Tickets went on sale today for Kiss - Walk N Rock for Kids at Raley Field on Sunday, May 29th. Tickets are $49.00 - $141.00 and proceeds benefit Hope Productions.

Thanks for the article David. I am so glad to hear Ace of Spades is off to a successful start, and that fans are receptive to a new venue that is focused on hosting headliner touring bands with supporting acts that are local artists in Sacramento. It's a tough business, and we've heard the talk and seen the attempts over the years without continued success. There is a good line-up of acts to choose from and I hope more Sacramento area fans get out and enjoy a show there soon!!

The Badfish show on Monday was also canceled and a Tweet from them indicated a liquor license issue. No word yet from the venue on shows after Monday. I'm sure they are doing their best to get whatever is holding up the opening resolved. Their show line-up looks great.

Next Friday 12/24 Lunas will be hosting a Christmas Eve Show with Kevin Seconds - Kepi Ghoulie - Allison Seconds - David Houston, and Anton Barbeau. Very cool talented musicians at one show!! Happy Holidays!!

Always nice to read more in depth about all the events happening in Sacramento. Thanks Aaron.
