Artists you should know: Shiver Fox
November 12
Shiver Fox is a new band from two local musicians who have done well for themselves in the past. Trey Tosh, an accomplished rock and blues artist, joined forces with Kyle Baker, who toured nationally and internationally with rock band Flight 409. Together, they call their new project "modern vintage" -- that means its dripping with classic influences, but also has the attitude and energy you'd expect from two guys in their early 20s.

May 08
A lot of bands talk about being families. The Overdubs, though, really do have family ties -- with husband-wife and father-son pairs.
We caught up with member Ryan Townsend before the band's show at 7:30 p.m. today at Kuppajoe, 3673 N. First St. Cover is $5. Give us the history of The Overdubs. The Overdubs began as a side project and evolved. We started in Orange County as Girlfriend in a Coma but I changed the name to The Overdubs when I moved to Davis because everyone thought we were a Smiths cover band. I love the Smiths, but we don't play '80s nights. When we came back to Fresno, I recruited Nathan Bjaaland and Sean Cohea as the rhythm section; we'd all been in a punk band called Chevron Girl back in the day. Of course, Bekah Townsend, my wife, has always been in the band. Now we have another refugee from Chevron Girl, Justin Landis, and father-son duo Gino and Weston Grillo in our crew as well.
