March is buzzing with live music echoing from every corner of Sacramento’s tight-knit music scene. Jenny Don’t and the Spurs ride into the historic Torch Club from Portland with their cowpunk tunes and honky-tonk grit. Hardcore bands Worst Ways and Anxious Arms take over Cafe Colonial unleashing a fury of heavy breakdowns and thrash-fueled guitars. Pop punk sisters Dog Party head to Tokyo in April, supporting garage rock darling Peach Kelli Pop with their signature drums and guitars; but before they head out, you can catch both bands at the Press Club for a special show. Band of Coyotes is ready to unveil new music, with live video performances set to debut on YouTube this month, and new songs dropping in May.
For beer lovers, there are a couple of different hop-related affairs.

And it wouldn’t be a proper March without the annual Fox & Goose St. Patrick’s Day party where patrons can raise a glass of Smithwick’s or Harp while toasting 50 years of Irish tradition. Lastly, Crocker Art Museum hosts a Selena dance party that promises to fill the night with cumbia, pop and disco hits. With so much happening this month, here’s where to start as you plan your weekend.
