Eight Gigs: The Bananas

Featuring quick and dirty punk rock, the Bananas' debut album Forbidden Fruit kicked open the door to Sacramento underground music culture in '98 with 14 tracks of lo-fi, basement-recording appeal. Speedy, catchy harmonies and cheeky lyrics can be found throughout the band's entire catalog. It's been a number of years since the Bananas' last performance, but the band says 99-percent of its preferred shows take place at house parties, so it seems the group is making an exception with this gig. Still, the Hideaway's early evening shows tend to emit a loud, house party-like vibe. The Violence Creeps and Yogurt Brain from Oakland, along with Sacto's own the Croissants, will also perform. 2565 Franklin Boulevard, www.nokilli.com/bananas.
