The last time the local ladies of the scene took to the Casbah stage to perform the Kate Bush dance party, I happened to be sick. I was sitting at home and seeing Instagram and Facebook posts of the night, and I experienced some harsh FOMO. Performed by local musicians Natasha Kozaily, Shelbi Bennett, Dani Bell, Lexi Pulido, Nina Deering, Batya MacAdam-Somer, Leah Bowden and Nancy Ross, the second time around will be even better than the first ... or so I'm told. At the Belly Up, G. Love performs a second night; HalfNoise, a project featuring Zac Farro (Paramore's former drummer), play at Soda Bar; and black metal band Wolves in the Throne Room headline Brick by Brick.
