Big thanks from the folks at the Flea, including yours truly, Kadillac Kim, to Faith and Dave at Jub Jub’s for hosting the RPRFM after party, and Rory at Dead Ringer Analog Bar for hosting our kick off party and for contributing to the ongoing success of our punk scene. I talk to a lot of touring bands and they all love coming to Reno. That’s because of the people who run the venues and the people who consistently come out and support shows. Y’all are the real MVP’s.
