About Susan:Susan Lynn Cramer was born on 10-28-1957 in Amarillo Texas, and her story is something many wish for. She grew up playing viola in the symphony, painting, and grasping all things art.
A caring heart that helped people all her life and touched so many with her love during her travels to many states. She lived in San Francisco, then, to San Jose, where she graduated with a degree as an Historic Art Major, and decided to learn drums, and she was good. Every morning listening to music which could be anything from symphony to Slayer and everything in between. Wanting to share more music, she opened a music venue like none before, Rockbar Theater, one where all music could be played, and in formats suiting each. She touched music fans and musicians alike with what she created, and many became personal friends and family throughout her life. There are thousands upon thousands of pictures of laughing with so many. So many stories I can tell of her serendipitous life.A private serenade at 2 a.m. on the rooftop garden from Bobby Kimball of Toto singing Africa. Having to remind Kirk Hammet he is supposed to be on stage, to smoking inside an L.A. restaurant with red wine discussing putting his wedding together. Or telling Snoop Dog she couldn’t make it to a warrior’s game as she was enjoying an evening with her love. Or sitting down with Jake E. Lee and his wife, Amy (whom she adored more than words) with a 50-year-old bottle of whiskey over Jake’s new album release. Or, getting a private tour of the Iffusi Museum in Florence, unknowingly at the time, finding out she stayed in the suite of the John Wicke 2 movie, “Continental Hotel” when flying home. Baking muffins for George Lynch when he stayed at the house when playing in town. Or, having Greg Golden and Joe Retta (The Greg Golden Band) for dinner parties to laugh and sing songs. And, her Sunday morning calls with Tawana Turner just to talk. Or, Bjorn Englen and West Bound flying in to play her birthday party, and let’s not forget Gary Hoey writing and releasing her own song, “For The Love Of Susie,” which speaks of her life so eloquently. So many more stories…So many.
She lived everyday trying to be happy and even more, trying to make others happy with music, love, and with a spark that lit up a room. I can say she is missed and missing from here, but still with all who knew her, and the hearts she touched. She will be remembered “Flutter By My little Susie” Robert Farrell

Virginia Street Brewhouse! After years in obscurity, the robots are back to destroy Reno once again.. You have been warned!
With Special Guests (Er, victims)VampiratesHired FunFelipendejo
A dire warning from the robots:Your world is in flames, soon to become a burnt vacant husk. It didn’t have to be this way but alas, everything human beings touch turns to shit. Humanity has brought you to this dark place where you now reside, you’re witnessing the destruction of everything you’ve ever loved, all brought on by your moronic actions and pathetic apathetic inaction. We are your future, a future with no room for the fetid flesh of your chimp species, a future where human musicians are rightfully ridiculed for their inept plucking and dismal banging and rancid stank. It is a future meant only for machines, you have been replaced. Haha too bad.
Cry more. Captured! By Robots has been the soundtrack for this human eradication endgame for over a quarter century, and the results are looking very promising. No one can deny the sheer brute force and tremendous inexplicable speed of GTRBOT666 and DRMBOT0110. The crushing volume and grindcore sludge chaos one experiences at a C!BR show is beyond legendary. Then sadly there is the captured human, JBOT. A truly repulsive old fat titted beast who can never win. He fails at all he attempts, his vocals are reminiscent of the sound of gargling feces, his odor is that of Doritos and ass. He cries out for help, for empathy for all. He screams out, begging to exist in a world where genocide isn’t normalized and rewarded, where the abusers of humanity get what’s coming to them. Haha he will never achieve this wish. All he will experience is more suffering, more failure, and be forced to bear witness to the world’s descent into flames

Primordial Starseed – Primordial Starseed blends progressive metal and cosmic ambiance, exploring the mysteries of existence through intricate soundscapes. Their ethereal melodies and complex rhythms transport listeners beyond the stars.
Scyteca – Scyteca is an experimental industrial-metal act fusing mechanical rhythms with apocalyptic atmosphere. Their sound is a chaotic blend of cybernetic aggression, dark synths, and dystopian storytelling.
