The needle on the compass of the local beer scene has been pointing East over the last couple of years. Breweries like Knee Deep (Lincoln), Loomis Basin and Auburn Alehouse, as well as craft beer...

Yep. Launch just went “next level.” Does it really surprise anyone? It shouldn’t, if you’ve followed the progression of the Launch Festival over the last couple of years, as it moved from a one day...
This is a story that I felt needed to be written – about a story that I feel never should have been. Anyone who was born and raised in Sacramento, or has spent a considerable amount of time living...
It’s hard to avoid this thought from creeping into your head while waiting in line for the elusive and supremely heralded Pliny the Younger: It’s Beer Week in Sactown. There are beer events all over...
There were two pieces of evidence that pointed to New Helvetia’s Friday night opening shindig being a pretty big deal. One, 297 people told Facebook they were going, and another 91 said maybe...
“I’m not wearing sunglasses because it looks cool,” quipped a clearly emotional Rusty Miller, “I was afraid I’d start crying and I didn’t want you guys to have to see it.” Right there with you, Russ...
On just about any given evening, you will find a horde at the Shady Lady. And they’re usually accompanied by a harem…or at least they followed one in the door. So the name of Thursday’s...
Writing the script for the San Francisco Giants’ 2012 World Series title run would be a piece of cake – assuming you were prepared to write the script for about a half-dozen different movies at once...
Late to the party like most of the rest of the world, I first heard the music of Rodriguez in February 2011, in a good friend’s car on a cloudy afternoon driving back from a day hike at Multnomah...
Don’t worry, this was the plan all along. After months of blood, sweat and lumber that the Sacramento C.O.R.E. (Circle of Regional Effigies) put in to construct the 20 foot-tall...
"On the bright side, we’re finally getting some Giants coverage on a national level." Lindol French, you do indeed have a point – albeit one that Giants baseball fans here in...
One thing noticably odd about the absurdly awesome High Sierra Music Festival, held each year in the hills of Quincy, CA, is that it rarely seems to feature Sacramento-based talent – odd in...
It’s a concept that, at face value, seems completely crazy – as in, talking-to-the-air, get-the-butterfly-net insane. But that’s only to those who haven’t been to Burning Man. It’s the question of...
I heard about it a few weeks ago, but it’s one of those things that starts to really suck now that the show is only a couple days away and reality sets in. While I’m sure the collective...
Well played, Sacramento. Was it the great weather? Was it the fact that it was Tuesday? Was it just that Sac just doesn’t really know Delta Spirit (yet)? Was it that trainwreck of a botched...
Three words: Just. Plain. Filthy. Gritty, guttural, bluesy, primal, loud, and sleazily beautiful, the Black Keys are a bullet train straight backward to the roots of rock and roll – but it’s hard to...
Love ’em, hate ’em, or if they were just "the party jam" at some point in your life, it’s impossible to imagine anyone born after 1975 (or earlier?) that didn’t have...
With Bay Area promotions juggernaut Another Planet Entertainment having already brought Wilco to the Sacramento area, and with the Shins, Florence + the Machine and the Black Keys on the books in the...
It is safe to write about happenings in Roseville yet? Thanks to Shalini Chandra, we’ve already established on Sac Press that "not everyone in Roseville wears Ed Hardy" in an op-ed...
Thank you, Joel Nathaniel Cummins, for hitting the nail on the head. “Thanks for making us feel like it’s South Bend back in about 2000,” Umphrey’s McGee’s keyboard player proclaimed when the band...
