107.9’s Birthday Blowout kicks off three weeks of local music events

Tuesday After School

Fred Morledge

Recess! Tuesday After School will play Friday afternoon.

If you’re into local music, the next few weeks were built for you. Labor Day weekend will see around 40 bands—many of them Vegas-based—congregate near UNLV for the three-day Maryland Parkway Music Festival. One week later, the twice-annual Neon Reverb festival returns, bringing its usual emphasis on homegrown music back to the clubs of Downtown. And kicking it off, FM station 107.9 The Alternative celebrates the fifth anniversary of its Sunday-night local show this weekend at the Royal Resort.
