local rockers like Bleed The Messiah, Low Flying
Planes, and One Fate Remains with bands from all over the Northeast and Canada.
While these bands form new coattail friendships, here’s your chance to find
your new favorite. Call the California Brew Haus (402
Ridge Rd. West) at 621-1480 for all the info.
