Great article Mike. Now that I know what is going on maybe I will stop screaming every weekend when I read about who is playing in Visalia.

I really don't think it's about the venue. If we could get Aaron Gomes to move to Fresno or find a way to clone him, I think the bands would follow. I had long hoped that Frank D would step up to fill the promotion void but that was a dream that didn't come true.

I often hear people say that Fresno doesn't support the local music scene. I'm sorry to say that I'm one of those people. All the shows I want to go to are in Visalia.
