Sayonara Tokyo’s CD release show at Mission Tobacco Lounge isn’t just a celebration of the up-and-coming band, it’s a welcome home party for a longtime member of the scene.

Fair Struggle, a Sacramento band, is coming down to the area for the NAMM convention and the group’s bassist, Miles Daniels, will return to an Inland stage for the first time since moving up north a while back.

He was part of Riverside rock band Lunch Line Jones, with singer Dan Davis.
Davis’ new project, Trapping John Doe, is also on the bill. Inertia will also perform.

It’s just a big happy Inland Empire musical family over there this weekend.
8 p.m. Friday, Jan. 24, Mission Tobacco Lounge, 3630 University Ave., Riverside, $5, 21 and older only.
