Win tickets to see Howlin’ Rain
SF psychedelic rockers Howlin’ Rain arrive in Fresno on Sunday with a bunch of momentum — the band just released its new album, “The Russian Wilds” on Valentine’s Day. It was produced by the uber-famous Rick Rubin.
Sunday’s show is also cool because it includes local bands Strange Vine and Fay Wrays, plus it’s a good way to cap off the Tower District’s annual Mardi Gras parade.

Never heard of these guys before, started listening thanks to your link, LOVE them. Retro sounds of early Santana, Rush, some ELO, early Styx – all my faves.
As for your entry question, Linkin Park eff’d up BIGTIME when they left Rick Rubin. This whole mellow-rap crap they’re doing now leaves me dry – they need the sharpness and angry edge they started with when Rick Rubin had them.
Thanks for opening my ears to these guys – hope I win!
I’m gonna say Adele. Great album and great talent. And it’s the most recent I can think of really loving.
RHCP!
