I think I'm finally ready to retract my claim that Sacramento doesn't get nice things as far as shows go. The scene as a whole has really picked up over the last few years, and touring bands are coming back.
The Monster Aftershock Festival has been a pretty big hit with your more straight-forward radio hard rock crowd, and will remain this year, but there's a lot more being offered this round.
There's something for everyone to love, and something for everyone to hate this year.
