The Electronic outfit known as Let’s Drive to Alaska was created in 2004 by Chris Garcia. In his music, Chris speaks of many influences including cultures, books, friends and life in general and cites them as his main source of material. The project itself started as a means to create music to explore the instrumentation and sound in music. After receiving his first laptop in 2005 he began to write music and perform it with a strong focus on piano driven rock. Through out the years the sound has changed a bit, but has still maintained many of the fundamental aspects to it, Piano Driven pieces, live electronics and programming, and a strong emphasis on organic samples and production.

Drop these dudes a line through their e-mail they have on their headline. There was this other place that was pretty cool called the Fools Foundation, but the last time I checked they were out of commision forthe time being, but you might want to look em up just in case. You can ask the Java Lounge dudes for suggestions on other venues in the area. The people 'round these parts are generally really nice easy going folk.
Also, if you wanna travel a little outside of Sacramento into gold rush territory(might be a little outta the way), you can mozy on over to this old gold mine/vegan restaurant/ venue of the town called Placerville, also known as old hang town (yes, this town is responsible for a lotta broken necks). There's a bit of a hippy scene goin' on but I'd think they be pretty receptive. Oh yeah, its called the Cosmic Cafe. Look em up.
