HARD ROCK! Saturday, April 21st, 9pm, $7
Tony Kroll Booking presents...
- Hell on Wheels, Record Release Party, [reverbnation.com/hellonwheels], w. "The Bullet", "Cotton Pickin' Devil's Child", "The Gypsy Song", off their new album "Table For Two" on Smoking Nun Records!
- Banger [reverbnation.com/banger9]
- Gravity Lane [reverbnation.com/gravitylayne]


About Hell On Wheels: James Craig Paylor, veteran of many foreign and domestic Rock wars, including the Sunset Strip, has found 3 other people, Jefferey Munzter, Doug Free, and Dan Stromberg, that don't have anything to live for except this band. The result is a high octane mix of heavy Blues based Rock that is not the ideal choice for your opening act. Not unless you're very good.
Next appearance, Saturday, Apr 28, 12 noon, on Rampage Radio at Radio Valencia FM [tunein.com/radio/Radio-Valencia-s139700], in San Francsico!

"Ser Muxer: Lo Que (No) Me Dijo Mami About Being A Xingonx" 
curated by Karen Tafoya-Delgado
Artist Talk @ 8pm
Event page [facebook.com/events/175346569763178]
“Ser muxer: lo que (no) me dijo mami about being a Xingonx” a show about the relationships among muxeres and how those relationships empower and or inspire muxeres to follow our own caminos despite social, gender and cultural norms. The artwork includes celebration, unresolved feelings and lingering conflict in regards to these relationships.
My hope is that bringing together this body of work, as well as this group of Xingonxs, will inspire and empower other muxeres; start conversations and potentially new relationships/connections.
Xingonx (Chingona): someone who is very smart, intelligent and can do things quickly; to aspire; a maker of their own camino, this is their path and they will follow it, regardless of what society and culture says. --- Karen Tafoya-Delgado

- Sharkmouth / Oddjob Ensemble / The Crux
- Nasalrod
- Hawai'fi [hawaifi.bandcamp.com/track/haunted-house]
Sharkmouth, Oddjob Ensemble and The Crux will collaborate on a rolling superset, with one band morphing into the next- the three groups have a long history of sharing members, which they'll exploit for this rare and radical event.
Nasalrod is a punk rock band from Portland that "Completely obliterates any preconceived notions about the boundaries of genre and traditional songwriting."- Portland Mercury. Their high energy performances and songs that change rapidly and exhilaratingly from groove to groove create a live show that is completely unique and mind-blowing. AND their drummer, Spit Stix was a founding member of the seminole punk band FEAR.
HAWAI'FI is a kick ass Santa Rosa rock n roll band with a ukulele and an attitude.
featuring aerial performance by the spectacular Sierra Camille!
