Stockton

..so later today, this evening...Instagon is appearing for the very first time in Stockton,CA.    Stockton is sort of an odd place..its only just under an hour south of Sacramento..but it has its own issues and problems that makes it stand out.. it has been hit really hard by the economic recession of past years.. the city has not got enough money to run itself, or hire police.. and so the crime rate is very high.. ..but music prevails there still.   A venue called PLEA FOR PEACE CENTRE is a long time co-op ran venue that houses shows. sometimes larger shows.. sometimes smaller.   This might be their very first NOISE based show.. I am not too sure.. but it's at least the first that I have heard of happening there since moving to Sacramento in 2005.
      I have previously done a few readings in Stockton... when I first moved into town thanks to Alan Satow and Frank Andrick.   Also Garage Jazz Architects played once at the now closed (but legendary) Black Water Cafe...but this will be the first time that Instagon will play.. and the show is basically a noise dynamic..and we are bringing a band...so it should be different for sure.   Also playing will be Stockton's Novacain.. whom have been suggested as someone Instagon should play with in Stockton by a number of people.. and I am looking forward to seeing them.   
     I only have a few friends in that area..so I hope to meet some more tonight and get people excited enough so that we can come back to the area sometime soon.  -/\-
