2/22/08 Club 2039 (Fresno, Ca)

Downtown Fresno was the place to be on Fri Feb 22nd. Van Ness and Kern is now the home of the 2039 ultralounge. With over 500 in attendance it went off. We kicked off the festivities and got the dance floor hot thanks to all the lovely party people. The zany Argyle Pimps followed up, then the Uncle Krackeresque rappers from Los Banos the Moonshine Bandits performed. Throughout the night there were girls dancing on poles and kissing each other for the camera (if you have a camera people will do anything for you) but above all it was a great night for downtown and hopefully 2039 will draw people to the heart of the city to have a good time.

1/27/08 Barack Obama HQ (Fresno, Ca)

Well for the first time 40 Watt Hype has gotten political.....Its too important right now not to. We were honored to perform at the grand opening of the Barack Obama headquarters in Fresno for his historic run for president. It was great to be a part of an event with such a diverse support base. Old, young, black, white, latino. Tons of news coverage and lots of optimism and excitement that hasn't been present for the last um.....8 years.

Last show of 2007 at Club Fred (now called Audie's Olympic). This place is finally back on its feet. After an ownership change a murder inside the club and a bad rep... its back. This was a great night, everyones family was in town, people you hadn't scene in a long time etc. Also on the bill was Nino Moschella and the Park from Fresno/SF. As we were criss crossing the US on tour last year we would always see flyers for a band called BUCHO, That band later morphed into the Park and was backing up Nino, So we had a couple laughs as we finally connected in FRESNO, CA. Great night, lots of fun, couple of early drinking casualties, but that is to be expected on a night like this. Its almost Christmas and its time to cut loose. Nino and his band sounded great, Sean and I sat in on the first tune.

12/8/07 Seqouia Brewery (Fresno, Ca)

This was a rail jam featuring live music, films and snowboarding demonstrations. People came from as far away as Lake Tahoe to check it out. The event was put on by Delta 9ine, our clothing sponsor. Fresno rappers Chuck Dimes and Fashawn opened up the show. By the end of the night, things got a little out of hand and one of the guys putting on the event, ended up getting kicked out of his own event. That was a first for me. No pictures, but lots of good beer on tap.
