Come early for the awesome French dip sandwich, stay for the punk onslaught. Folks looking to hear some local or national punk rock need to visit this L Street staple. Although seemingly off the radar for quite some time, this eatery/live-music venue has survived the economic crisis in Sacramento by sticking to the genre they do best. If you’re a fan of sloppy punk rock done with gusto, this four-piece delivers. They’re rounding out a five-band bill which also features Get Shot!, Dead Panic, Machine City and Zero for Zero. Cheap drinks and a cheap cover. What more do you need? 2107 L Street, www.myspace.com/thelefthandband.
