and Very Be Careful are ALL AMAZING BANDS.
wow, your threshold for considering a band "amazing" must be quite low.
not everyone is into Coldplay, torrmoz.
The point of the Eagle Rock fest is to showcase local, up-and-coming bands, no? I've heard of at least half those bands and I don't even follow very closely.
Abe Vigoda just played at the glass house yesterday, sounds like a band to me!! I've been to the last two music festivals in eagle rock...had a blast with all the different music available to listen too.
