Top Rockin' it in the Valley

It's a crazy weekend for music in the Central Valley. From Modesto's X Fest (hello Sir Mix-A-Lot) to the Visalia Pit er Pat show, music fans should rejoicing all weekend long.

Perhaps you've heard mumblings of a little fete known as Rock of the Tower. This Saturday, the Tower Theatre will be taken over by 11 bands who will do their darnedest to convince you live, original music is thriving in Fresno. Read the interview with the show's promoters, and get ready for some serious Fresno love.

Get a sneak peek at some of the musicians playing Rock of the Tower on this week's Flowing with Famous. We're joined in the studio by members of It'll Grow Back and Kat Jones. Kat even plays us a brand new song, live!

No need to wait for Saturday for some good live music. This Friday Oakland's the Jim Yoshii Pile-up plays Gardenside with Pidgeon and Rademacher. (You can win a spot on the guest list!) Read the IMterview with Jim Yoshii frontman Paul Gonzenbach and impress your music-obsessed friends.

Malcolm Sosa reviews the new Pit er Pat album ahead of their Central Valley debut this Saturday. Pit er Pat was previously featured on the Famous Jukebox, along with Space MTN. Space MTN will play the Starline this Sunday at 6pm. Holy hell that's a lot of music!

Plus an all new Famous People!
