We’ve been selected to play Silicon Valley’s C2SV Festival this fall! Big-time headliners include Iggy & the Stooges, Thee Oh Sees, Bosnian Rainbows (members of The Mars Volta), Sleepy Sun, The Lemonheads, and many more. Downtown San Jose will be littered with amazing concerts from Sept. 26-29.
Find us at Cafe Stritch (374 S. 1st St.) for the festival’s closing show—we’ll be joined by our friends Rin Tin Tiger, The Trims, The Albert Square, and other local Bay Area favorites. We’ll also release our brand new sci-fi E.P., The Labyrinth Suite, at this show.
Music runs from 2-8PM. Cartoon Bar Fight plays at 4PM.
Admission is FREE with C2SV wristband, or $15 at the door.
San Jose is cool. Have you heard?!?!
