"The Uptown Nightclub in Oakland reopens this Friday under the new ownership
of Larry Trujillo, also the owner of The Blank Club in San Jose. According to
an interview with the Chronicle, Trujillo has spent a significant amount of
money upgrading the club’s sound system and giving the place an overall
redesign. Musically, he plans on booking a mix of national and local alternative,
indie rock and punk bands. You can find out more about the new Uptown by visiting
their web site or MySpace page.
The venue debuts with a show headlined by two bands we’ve featured over
here: Birdmonster and The Morning Benders. According to Birdmonster’s
always entertaining blog, the band recently spent time in Chicago working on
recordings for a follow-up to 2006’s No Midnight. As to The Morning Benders,
there’s quite a bit of anticipation regarding the band’s debut full
length, which they plan to release early next year."
