Rockage 2.0: Three Day Celebration of Indie Music and Retro Gaming

A super cool event kicks off tomorrow at the San Jose Woman's Club tomorrow in Downtown San Jose. Imagine mixing three days of local indie music with vintage video games, food trucks, and just plain ole good times. The Friday night band lineup is all San Jose bands: Curious Quail, Cartoon Bar Fight, Good Hustle, San Francesca, etc. The bands will also be manning video game console booths during the event.  I really hope to see this event grow in the future, this sounds awesome!  Check out all of the relevant links and the lineup below:
