This Friday, the 13th, Reno will host one of the world’s coolest shows the city may have ever seen.  How do we know it’s one of the coolest?  The answer is simple … we got a taste at SXSW 2011!

In short, Beats Antique, Buster Blue, LYNX and Asha Bellydance are taking over The Grand Theater at Grand Sierra Resort & Casino in Reno, NV for an evening full of everything that we’ve been craving: bass, bellydancing and the (surprise) brass band!

$22.  All ages.  Get tickets.

I Shot A Man In Reno…

Johnny Cash

Fact: The song, “Folsom Prison Blues“, by Johnny Cash is an excellent piece of American live music history and is, at bare minimum, partly responsible for the creation of I Shoot Reno.

With widely known and often repeated (and sampled; yes Beastie Boys, we’re looking your direction) lyrics like these … well, let’s just say we’re taking the shooting in a whole new direction!

“When I was just a baby, my mama told me son / always be a good boy, don’t ever play with guns / but I shot a man in Reno… just to watch him die / when I hear that whistle blowin’ I hang my head and cry.”

Don’t forget where you’ve come from … especially if you’d like to know where you’re going!
