Rainbow City Park, bloodsugar, Charity Kiss
Fri, Sept. 5, 7:00pm-10:00pm
Naked Lounge
118 W 2nd St.
They must really like Chico. Rainbow City Park (pictured here), the indie-rock band from Sacramento, is returning again with their distinctive 90s-influenced alt-rock and dream-pop blend. They’ve been touring non-stop since last spring. With them is Chico’s own bloodsugar, a four-member band influenced by ’90s grunge and early-2000s emo-pop. And returning from Reno is Charity Kiss, one of those genre-defying bands delivering their version of desert rock. They fuse it with punk and a little twang, indie-style. All ages, tickets $10 at the door. Check the CN&R calendar for more information.
Shrek Rave

Olivia Harms
Sun, Sept. 7, 5:00pm-7:00pm
The Commons
2412 Park Ave.
It’s no surprise where singer/songwriter Olivia Harms got her inspiration. Growing up on a ranch in Oregon, and as the daughter of Western Music Hall of Fame member Joni Harms, embracing country-western storytelling through music came naturally. Her music brings back honky-tonk swing and Bakersfield grit. Now that she hangs her hat in northern California, we’ll see her back in Chico on future visits. Check her tour schedule for shows in the Chico area, and at cowboy poetry gatherings, rodeos and more. This is a free, all-ages show. Check the CN&R calendar for more information.
