Please join us for a very special evening, Saturday, February 13, 7 p.m. at Rainshadow with Seattle-based singer-songwriter Rocky Votolato, who is coming to Reno for the first date in a limited few to debut his latest album, True Devotion, on Barsuk Records.
Joining him will be My Flag is on Fire (fresh off of their tour in Japan!) and the Bindle Stiffs.
Tickets are $8 in advance, available both on the Holland Project Website and at the following locations: Out of Bounds Board Shop, Bibo Coffee Co. on Mt.

Fans of lady-fronted lo-fi pop rejoice! Holland is happy to announce that we’ll be hosting the likes of San Francisco’s very own Grass Widow, a trio with ghostly harmonies and disarming pop punk riffs in the vein of the Raincoats, The Slits, and the more recent Best Coast. They will be joined by another Bay Area act, Rank/Xerox, who according to DJ Rick of stellar college radio station KDVS, “play postpunk with uncommon urgency not unlike The Proletariat, Tripod Jimmie, or Crisis, but with more energy, exuberance, and a saxophone”. Local supporters include the lovely Merry Mannor and Penny & Her Lowercase Kindred, in a rare appearance – not an event to be missed! Saturday, January 23rd @ Rainshadow. 7PM.
Oh yeah! And Noel is making her DJ comeback, it’s been a minute and we’re very excited!
Proceeds from Saturday’s 50/50 Showcase will go directly to Haiti relief efforts–so come and donate what you can ($3, $4, $5), listen to good music, and step up for a really important, and much-needed cause. This benefit will feature a healthy dose of psychedelic goodness (Madorians), Clash-inspired rawk (The Firebombing), and some beautiful melodies from a super talented youngster (Amber Scala). Did we mention that it’s THIS SATURDAY at Rainshadow? Don’t forget, it’s going to rule. Support your scene and support a good local cause, it’s a win-win. 7PM.
