NXNE is here! There is a brand new Track-Fu featuring artists either playing Rancho or that we are going to have writers out covering. There is also an interview with Megan Hamilton and another coming with Amos the Transparent later today.

You can find the reviews written by Terri, Dan Gorman, Lisa & Alicia in their blogs which are linked at the bottom of the page. Just click on their faces and it will bring you to the blog. The most recent face indicated the newest update. One official day down with three more to go. The poster to your left is what we have at Rancho tonight. Come on by!

Extended bar licenses from Weds-Sun till 4 AM. That is going to be an intense week of music and drinking... or drinking and music? I'm not really sure.

Cheers,

Dan
