Rock of the ‘walk

It pays to have allegiance to your favorite nightclub if you’re a local band. Spiritual Octane has made the Boardwalk its club of choice and, in doing so, has been afforded the opportunity to share the stage with such notable acts as Dick Dale, Santana, King’s X, Dave Meniketti and George Lynch. This weekend’s show is no exception; the group is supporting the legendary Pat Travers. Fronted by the talented Gary Durant, Spiritual Octane already has released two independent records. The third effort, Fuel For The Soul, is due this summer. If you like classic rock and aren’t afraid to show appreciation with a few fist-in-the-air motions, this band is for you. Spiritual Octane plays Saturday at (where else?) the Boardwalk, located at 9426 Greenback Lane in Orangevale, with local band STD and the man who made “Boom Boom (Out Go the Lights)” a rock ’n’ roll staple, Pat Travers. Tickets are $20 and more info is available at www.boardwalkrocks.com.
