I realize that summer is supposedly ending, but really it seems like the fun is just starting. My excitement for last weekend's Rock Make Street Festival is matched only by my excitement for Oakland's Art and Soul Festival, a three day affair that is also so close to my apartment. I'm told the food is delicious, and there are several stages of music in a number of different styles. Of course, Saturday's Art and Soul stage curated by Live 105 is what has my interest - Darker My Love (pictured) play at 1:25, and The Wombats are at 3:30. Two bands that I've really been wanting to see playing close to my apartment on a Saturday afternoon! I really don't think it could get any better than that. The Art and Soul stage is located at 12th Street and Clay.
If I were in LA, I would totally be at the F Yeah Fest this Saturday. The lineup boasts No Age, Matt and Kim, Two Gallants, and tons more. This is the fifth year for the festival, which recently received some great video coverage from the New York Times. Unfortunately, the festival's promoters have hit some hard times - having a financial backer pull out put them significantly in debt and they are accepting donations via Paypal. On Monday night, while handing out flyers outside a Radiohead concert, founders Sean Carlson and Phil Hoelting were allegedly beaten by concert security. Despite adversity, the all-ages, $16 festival is still happening.Bay Area Shows:
