Support local music with Sierra Madre Sue


Glendora-based band AMERICAN CATAPULT brings their original Alternative Americana Rock to the BUCCANEER LOUNGE in Sierra Madre this SATURDAY, APRIL 11th.
They were in the right place at the right time last week when they wandered into the bar during the Wednesday Night Platter Party, in hopes of securing a gig before the Buc's weekend calendar fills up for the year. With so many great bands in the area, they're usually booked pretty far in advance. But Tony had a late cancellation and was happy to be able to fill it without so much as a phone call, so obviously it was meant to be! And it couldn't happen to a nicer group of guys!
Pictured with me here are: Shawn Winters, Tom Townsend and Mike Bock. Check 'em out! www.myspace.com/americancatapult
