Sallie Fords new band

This Friday night, Sallie Ford‘s new group plays its first official show, apart from their participation in a Lou Reed tribute night at Dante’s a few weeks back.

Ford and her new backing band—which includes drummer Amanda Spring (from Point Juncture, WA), guitarist/bassist Anita Lee Elliott (from Viva Voce), and keyboardist Cristina Cano (Albatross)—take the Mississippi Studios stage on Friday, March 7, as part of local music podcast/party-throwers Party Boyz and their jam-packed Ladiez Night. The show also features Luz Elena Mendoza (of Tiburones and Y La Bamba), former Spinane Rebecca Gates, and Swansea. Holy smokes. That is a trick deck of cards right there.

And we’re giving away a pair of ticketz! To enter, click on over to End Hitz, where we love to spell things with unnecessary Z’s.
