PARTY LIKE IT’S 2010
Take a decade off your tired bones and travel back to a simpler time in Chico when a rock show was four bands long and you had enough energy bang your head all night. This Saturday, Jan. 25, at Lost on Main, Chico ex-pats The Deaf Pilots will visit from L.A., joining fellow old-school local rockers Furlough Fridays (pictured) for a friend show of epic, uptempo proportions. Little Black Cloud and Runner Up round out the bill.
