new name and activities Hello everyone!  As mentioned in our previous post, "El Crusty Cristo Bookings" ends and officially changes names to '916 Noise".  This is a decision taken mainly due to law enforcement now knowing of our existence & activities under our formerly known name (ECC). I just didn't feel comfortable with it.  However, endings bring new beginnings.  We will still be booking shows, however, it will not be as often as we used to do it. That being said, less shows, but every show we throw, we will do our best to make extra crazy.   916 Noise will also be a distro and small label. The plan is to do our best to spread the word on bands we are stoked on, mainly focusing on bands from the Sacramento / NorCal area.  First release announced soon! As always, thank you, support your scene, go to a show!

  The Chronicles of Sactown Speedfest Flyer with updated location (which was not even the final one)                       Oh where to begin... I will start by saying, even though things did not go as planned for one reason or another, I do not regret it, not even a little bit. It truly was a weekend I will never forget, and I would not change a single thing. (besides being able to compensate the bands better lol).  It was a chaotic experience, but it reminded me of why I do this, and the real meaning of DIY, punk, and community.  ...and before I begin the chronicles, I want to say, HUGE thank you, to everyone that was there. To all of my friends that helped me make this happen, to all of those that supported "El Crusty Cristo Bookings" wether it was the week of the show, or since 2016 when we first started. Seriously, thank you.  There would be way too many to thank, y'all know who you are <3 The Ch...

LASSO in Sacramento    Friday October 25th 2024 @Cafe Colonial All Ages / $15 / Doors: 7pm / Show: 8pm October '24 in Sacramento continues to be one for the history books. So far, we've had one crazy show each week of the month, all of them have cracked hard so far, and this one will not be an exception! LASSO is a sick ass band coming all the way from Brazil!! Featuring that crazy, raw, and loud hardcore punk, along with hints of that noisy d-beat everyone (especially me) loves. Truly a hardcore band for the punks. They have released 4 amazing albums since 2021, and they're continuously killing it all over the continent. This one is for fans of some sick hardcore punk such as bands like Heresy, Electric Chair, Ajax, and perhaps your favorite 80s hardcore punk band. The bill also features three other amazing bands, from far and local. We got BAD IMAGE also bringing some sick hardcore to us, all the way from Seattle Washington! Sick, simply awesome hardcore, along with the v...
