Bring a blanket and a picnic! Bring some dogs and some kids!
The Friends of Gorgas Park put on a great show and you’ll be glad you came out.
So, yes, i do play in the band EDO but I’m not telling you to go because of that. I’m telling you to go to this show because it will be amazing.
The Annual International Brawl For Art is in it’s 6th Year. Each Summer, Cobra Fantastic makes the long trek from France and graces RoxYunk with tales of giant robots and sweet guitar love.
The Fallser is an amazing space, carved from the loving bones of a 100 year old silent movie theater, the Fallser brings to life music and joy of all fflavors,

July Thursday Nights mean “Stroll the Street” On Main Street.
Put on your sailing shoes and come put you feet to work.
Lots of stuff going on:
I’ll spare you the full story of wandering into a broadway dive bar and being astounded at the musicality of this band stuffed into a booth by the window (putting circus contortionists to shame) and just urge you most strongly to take the 9 bus to 4th and walnut and stroll down to Headhouse. They’re really good. Rae The Band.
Regular RoxYunk Centric programming will resume with the next post.
