Schoolkids stage opens for business

We understand your dilemma. You're the World's Biggest Fan of the Drive-By Truckers, but you just don't want to shell out the cash to see them open for the Black Crows Wednesday night at Walnut Creek. Never fear, dear reader.

The Truckers will play a free show Wednesday at 2 p.m., christening the brand new stage at Schoolkids Records on Hillsborough Street.

Also coming to Schoolkids is Pete Yorn, this Saturday July 15 at 5 p.m. The show will be recorded for an "exclusive EP," so be sure to get there early so someday you can tell your kids that you were there. According to Schoolkids, the EP will be available for sale in-store in a few weeks.
