The Bakersfield Condors are down 2 games (0-2) to the Alaska Aces in the second round of the Kelly Cup playoffs.

During the first round, Bakersfield's faithful hockey birds were down 2 games to the Fresno Falcons before plucking their wings four games in a row. Talk about some bare bones Falcons by the end of that rout.

Starting tomorrow night, two Bakersfield bands will be on hand to rally the Condors back to their winning ways.

Think of the music scene as a good luck charm. It all begins Friday night at 5:45 PM with a pre-game show outside of the arena starring The Silence Club.



Saturday playoff action between the Alaska Aces and the Bakersfield Condors begins with huge pre-game festivities. Here's info direct from the Condor NEST that features Dirty Spanglish with some rousing hockey tunes and more:

Prior to Saturday’s game, the Condors will host a special Party On The Plaza featuring a live broadcast and party on Centennial Plaza in front of Rabobank Arena from 6 p.m. until 8 p.m. The party will include a live remote broadcast on KGEO AM 1230, starting at 7 p.m. (at the conclusion of the Angles baseball game) with the voice of the Condors, Jake Stevens, along with appearances from Condors players Scott Balan and Andrew Oke, who will also be available to chat with fans. A projection screen TV will also be on site, showing Bakersfield’s win over Fresno in Game 6 of the first round. There will also be bounce houses and inflatables from Kiddie Amusements along with a performance from the band Dirty Spanglish, who will play their hockey songs "Zebras" and "The Big No" on the plaza stage.

There will be plenty of food and drinks available for purchase as well, including:
- Tri-tip sandwiches
- BBQ Chicken
- Hot Dogs and Sausages
