You may have noticed a house in East Davis that happens to have a giant KDVS billboard in the backyard. You don't need to know why the billboard is here and not along I-80, but you do need to know that it instead makes a beautiful backdrop for the outdoor stage. (The billboard was relocated to the Goondocks -on Lehigh- during Elisa's going-away party! We should construct a giant robot/rocket to replace it. Or perhaps steal it back now that the Goondocks is semi-retired)

Shows here tend to be on the mellower, poppier end of the spectrum, partly because outdoors shows can't be too loud, partly because we have some grumpy neighbors, but mostly because of tradition. We book many different kinds of shows- folk to rock to electronic to even some punk (nothing too house-thrashing though). Shows are almost always free with donations encouraged. Serpico may not let you pet him if you stiff the bands, however. Potluck baked goods and fruits are always welcome.

(Formerly known as the Rocket Tones Residence, and perhaps even more formerly known as a show house in the '80s according to Mick Mucus.)
