It’s that time of year again! Some of the best bands the city has to offer will convene for three days packed full of local music at Sky City’s Festivus of Bands. Twenty-six great acts, ranging from prog rock to garage punk to experimental to folk and everything else in between, will demonstrate the diversity of our fair city. Some new bands, old bands and even a few reunions mark this yearly event as the perfect showcase of our wonderful scene. Each night is free to enter, and the Vinyl Swap/Shop will be held on Saturday from 2 - 6 p.m., during which patrons can buy, sell or trade records. Perhaps owner and operator Coco Rubio’s words say it best as he describes he Festivus of Bands as “a celebration of our local music scene, featuring bands young and old during the holiday season as my gift to the bands and their supporters.”
