The show was scheduled to start around 10 PM. So, I arrived at the scene around the time they're supposed to

If it wasn't for school, this website would have been a beauty of this town's music scene. I planned on covering any and everything that is considered music from alternative rock, country, punk rock, hardcore metal, reggae, blues, techno/hip-hop, or whatnot. I have tons of ideas written down on a piece of paper, which is now stained from all the coffee spilt or Dr. Pepper and crumbs from all the

As you may have noticed, there has been miniscule amount of updates on BUMS lately because I've been really busy. Just to let you know. I'm not as active as several weeks ago. Don't worry, things will be great here again and it'll be in full throttle soon. I have plans in my mind that are on hold right now because of college projects and other personal responsibilities.

A few weeks ago, I found this kick ass online weekly radio show called "The Streets". The radio show is hosted by Eric and Iisha. They spin punk rock tunes from Adolescents, Cocksparrer, Screeching Weasel, Funeral Dress, The Clash, Suburban Rebels, Ramones, and many more.I requested a Screeching Weasel song called "Cool Kids". Unfortunately, they did not have the track to play, so Eric spinned "I

by N.L. BelardesThe exciting part about putting a CD together is trying to get bands into the Rabobank Arena. Performers just want to perform, to get the message outabout their own brand of music; that means the bigger the crowd, the better. When King Mark, Caleb Kelly and St. Patrick performed at the Rabobank last Saturday night I was just excited as I could ever get about being a part of a

This was my third time to see Jessie Deluxe perform and even though her band was without their bass player, they were still amazing. Jessie was amazing. She can shred a mean guitar and sings edgy soulful lyrics that grab a hold of your heart. But the thing I love most about Jessie Deluxe is the

Monty is a rock and roll legend that made it big three times in the music industry with Billy Satellite, Eddie Money and Big House.

by N.L. BelardesWhen talking small bills, like five bucks or less, your friends are not allowed to pay your debts. No way. That’s why I threw the five bucks given to me right at Monty Byrom while he stood onstage ripping through a guitar solo Saturday night…I left the Condors game early—something I never do—but I had to keep a promise to hang out and listen to Monty Byrom at Fishlips restaurant.

I wanted to take a few pics and post it on BUMS. Brett, the bass player for Lostocean, gave me the direction to the venue. So, my friends and I drove to the place. We almost got lost actually like a lostocean. We arrived at

A local reggae-rock band called Seed opened the show for Zen Robbi and the Bakersfield's own ska, Mento Buru. Seed played their own blend of reggae. The vocalist, although somewhat hard to hear his voice at Vinny's Bar, had a pure distinct voice, which separates their style from the rest of the reggae bands in Bakesrfield. With the ambidextrous bass playing, the crowd definitely enjoyed the bass

by N.L. Belardes The KooKooNauts had all but given up their lives as young rock stars. These punk boy wailers, all in their teen years had etched their place in the history of Bakersfield punk rock. How? By playing their own brand of hardcore punk all around town. In churches, in the pizza-a-go-go, at the Boiler Room, in freaky parks where the Lords of Bakersfield myths dwell, on college campuses

by MatildakayI ventured out to Vinny’s the last two weekends for some great local music. Vinny’s puts on some great shows. And usually all the music blends well together, which I like. If it’s a punk show, it’s a punk show. Hardcore/screamo then its hardcore/screamo. You get the idea. Vinny’s also has a great sound system and usually a great crowd too.

I have recently received a message from a rock and roll fan named ~Lisa, on myspace. In my surprise, I thought she was a typical fan from Bakersfield, she's actually from Germany. She's been following our rock and roll scene. She has been supporting our local bands from KoRn and Adema to The Filthies and American Standard. Hey there, you're sooo welcome. Thanks for accepting the add! I love the

It's cold, cloudy, and here comes winter quarter. I'm back in college. I'm a full-time student and you know how that goes. It has been fun but I hate to say that BUMS will no longer exist from now on. O.K. I'm just kidding. However, I might not be able to update the site as much as I have been doing in the past. I'll try my best to post a few updates whenever I can. Alright, I would like

by ThroatShotWe decided to have a free show so that anyone could come and not have to worry about being broke. We all know how that goes. We decided to rent out Jerry's Pizza on Saturday, January 14th because, although they get a bad wrap sometimes for just being a "basement," they always treat us good. The shows are always filled. It just kind of feels like our stomping grounds, I guess.We're

by The KooKooNautsWe have never played at Rabobank arena before. So, we are really excited and nervous to play for a large crowd. We are playing outside of the arena for about an hour just before the game starts.We wrote the song ( Birds of Prey ) in like two days, and recorded it that week. I think a lot of the influences for the song came from our love european melodic metal and old school

However, don't forget about the new and promising bands to appear early in 2006: Stitch, Box Jumper, and hopefully there will be more.
