As you may know, Marianarchy XV was a great success, as usual. The bands were cold and the beer was rocking! Nick and The Rev. are personally thankful of all the bands and donations and volunteering and good that went into the event to help out Shelby Paxton. We do good for ourselves, Reno, Thank You!

One of the highlights of the event was the concurrent show of One Ton Dually opening up for The Kyle Gass Band on Saturday night. Once again The KGB put on a helluva show for the fans!

This week, Kim booked one of her favorite local acts, but new-to-the-rest-of–us, Blue Envy Blue Envy is Max and Keva, a smooth and powerful indie rock duo from the RNO. Keva and Max didn’t know exactly what to expect or what they signed up for, which is the way we like it! However, they ended up having a good time – we think.

Kim unfortunately could not make it to the show this week due to a family crisis. We send her all of our love and hope to have her back behind the mic just as soon as she is able. Chewie, on the other hand, is just stuck in a mine again. He has sammiches and a flashlight and we hope to see him eventually.

There’s lots of stuff going on in town this week. I should know, I’ve had to declien lots of invites, because the only thing I’ve got on my calendar is Marianarchy Marianarchy Marianarchy!

That’s right – Marianarchy XV: A Benefit for Shelby Paxton is upon us! Shelby is a good friend of the show and a long time service industry worker in the scene. She unfortunately was involved in a car accident some moths ago, requireing immediate surgery and a long recuperation, which is death in the service industry. We are only happy to help our friend.

As an added bonus, One Ton Dually will be opening for the Kyle Gass Band in the showroom on Saturday night! The OTD will be up at 9pm with KGB taking the stage at 10pm. Marianarchy will continue throughout the night though – think of it as a befgore and after party too! Unfortunately, tickets to see the KGB and OTD are a separate purchase. But if you come to Day one on Friday, you may have a chance to win tickets to see the show in the raffle! Or you can buy some from Nick or Rory!
