Big shows in Marysville, small ones at Marilyn's, 
Harlow's, the Grove, the Boardwalk, the Crest

The new millennium was a kind of 

golden age for Sacramento-area rock 

bands.  When a record deal still meant 

something, big labels gave support to 

Cake, Jackie Greene, Def Tones, Papa

Roach, Zoppi, and Oleander.  BGP sold 

and eventually was replaced by Live

Nation.  Big shows came, but many of 

them were Pop, R&B and Hip Hop.  The 

club scene was ever-changing, and several

poster artists began creating interesting, 

colorful, original work that was hung in 

store windows and sold at shows.
