Eight Gigs: The Croissants

Sat., June 11, 7 p.m., The Sacramento Bicycle Kitchen, no cover

Every Second Saturday, Sacramento Bicycle Kitchen transforms its shop quarters into a loud rock ’n’ roll venue. The events are always free and family friendly, so bring the little ones and some earplugs to enjoy the live music. This weekend, it’s the Croissants (pictured), RAD, the Bananas and La Fête Du Chien rocking the bike shop. Each band kicks out the punk-rock jams, but with different twists that range from hardcore to more surf-like pop. What’s more, Oak Park Brewing Co. will be slingin’ the craft brews, with proceeds going toward Sacramento nonprofits. 1915 I Street, www.thecroissants.com.
