Nucular Aminals, Penny and Her Lowercase Kindred, The Frontiersmen @ HSS Rainshadow!

A special evening in the works for this Thursday, June 17, at HSS Rainshadow folks:

Stupendous pop sensibilities and strange rock sass team up in the form of Portland’s Nucular Aminals, think cute and fun and rad, all rolled into one!

Joining them that night are Reno’s own act, The Frontiersmen, a rock band with fantastic sensibilities for spanning the range of spastic rock and thoughtful noise-pop tunes.

And we can’t forget Penny Darger – shadow puppet specialist and heartstrings strummer, here to deliver a very-rare performance of her skit/music/social commentary/slice-of-life show.

Try to bring a buddy to hold hands with for this one. We’ll all be dancing and grinning Thursday night – 8pm, and a measly 5 bucks
