Rescheduled Wombats, and iconic punk bands highlight weekend events

Whether you are a pop music maniac, a new school blue grass fan, or an old school punk rocker there is something you gotta see going down around the bay this weekend including:

Starting on Friday in SF:

Tickets holders for January's cancelled Wombats show will get a second chance to see the UK act at Popscene tonight. All previously purchased tickets will be honored. Didn't buy tickets for the show this time around? Sorry to say it's sold out!

The revolving door of world famous DJ's continues spinning with Spundae at Ruby Skye as this week they've lured BT to SF for an evening of trancey goodness with support from Alain Octavio and Porter Robinson.

In the East Bay on Friday:

Reggae fans can head to the Shattuck Downlow for Junior Reid and the One Blood Family. 9pm $15 presale tickets are available on eventbrite. Or if Alt/Indie is more your seen head to The Uptown for First Fridays, early show now cover party with Little Wings, Blank Tapes, Pancho-san and Whiskerman. Doors at 6PM, show at 9PM NO COVER.

On Saturday in SF

For something entirely different, Slims is relinquishing their infamous rock and roll stage for an evening of Cowpokes, Gunslingers and Outlaw country featuring The Earl Brothers, Hang Jones, Tiny Television and Pops. Say what you will about the current modern blue grass/ folk/ country trends , these bands are the real deal people expect banjos, stand up bass, and lots of low down lyrics. $13 Show at 8:30, all ages.

If you're not going to BFD on Sunday you still have a chance to hit the official pre-party at Mezzanine with Surfer Blood, INNERPARTYSYSTEM, The Vaccines, and Geographer.

In the East Bay on Saturday, We go back to the Uptown (and all you baby punks should too) for seminal mosh pit icon THE DICKIES, with TurbonegrA and Culo a Boca. Doors at 9PM, tickets are $12 and available at TicketWeb.

Also in Oakland at The New Parish sees the return of legendary ska/punk/rock/funk outfit Fishbone along with Keno Mapp and Heart Touch. Doors are at 8.30 and the show starts at 9.30.
