THIS WEEKEND: The Galaxy Reopens with Franki Doll and More

It's not the De La Soul show originally planned for the venue's reopening--that was moved to Redondo Beach--but there will still be a show at the Galaxy Theatre in Santa Ana this Saturday, the first show at the venue in over a year. It's sort of a soft opening, with performances from Franki Doll and the Broken Toys (pictured during a gig last month at Chain Reaction), Six, Kansas City Gunfight, the Heathens and Riotgun. That's right, tow bands with "gun" in their names. Sounds like a wild time.

Next Saturday is a VIP reception and concert with Neil Diamond and Bob Seeger tribute bands; the next scheduled show is Doors tribute band Wild Child on March 26. Steven Adler's new post-Celebrity Rehab project, Adler's Appetite, will be there on April 17. That should be a fun one.
