It's prime time festival season, and LAist wanted to give you a heads up on the various festivals around down. There's something for everyone this weekend:

LA Weekly is letting you choose one of the bands that will play at their Detour Festival on October 4th (Eagle Rock Music Festival is the same day). A few indie scene mainstays are listed such as Light FM, The Parson Red Heads and The Monolators. And it is The Monolators who are currently ahead and deservedly so, but they're neck and neck with The Press Fire! who we've never heard of until now. Whoever you decide to vote for, the voting ends tomorrow on this website.

You shoulda seen the kids run down the street during the LA Weekly Detour Festival a few weeks back. You shoulda heard them scream when they appeared behind their wheels of steel. You shoulda seen em dance once the dirty streets of downtown. Add the filthy, nasty, hilarious Peaches, who rocked out with Tone-Loc last night at the Avalon, PLUS the godfathers of controversial rap, the 2 Live Crew - and now you got...

There was so much choice at this year's Detour Festival as French Electro duo Justice and British Indie darlings Bloc Party topped the bill however, one couldn't help but compare this year's lineup to last year's, the inaugural year, which featured Beck and Queens of the Stone Age and smaller acts like Of Montreal, Blonde Redhead, Basement Jaxx among others. While sporting more acts and another stage the overall quality or the acts was...

The Detour Festival was ok. I didn't stay for very long because my girlfriend and I felt like cattle, and were tired of doing the unavoidable million laps around City Hall. Basically we echo all the sentiments previously put forth by our faithful editor, Tony Pierce. After the jump enjoy over 60 pics of such bands and big shots as: Kinky, Janeane Garofalo, Autolux, The Ravonettes, and Perry Ferrell's Satellite Party. All Photos by...

I met up with the Hacienda Prints Collective at the opening night of the Chemical Brothers tour at the Hammerstein Ballroom in NYC. There they were, a trio of guys from LA at an incredible event in NYC, doing live screening of t-shirts commemorating the night. Not only were they doing t-shirts, they were also taking lots of pics (see to the left) as well as documenting the tour on video. They were on...

OK we've hooked you up with VIP tickets, we told you how to get Perry Farrell's autograph, what more could we do to make your Detour experience nicer? How about a damn schedule so you don't miss The Ravonettes after being blown away by Autolux.

The kids behind tomorrow's Detour Festival are doing some interesting things to make your October street festie experience sweeter.

New York you're bringing us down. One look at this weekend's Detour Fest lineup and it appears that Los Angeles, once again, is the center of all things rock. While dozens of acts will descend on downtown LA this Saturday, from as far as Australia, Sweden, France, Mexico, and Missouri, the NYC rock scene is MIA. Hell, even the two-headed Raveonettes are staking their claim to Hollywood, listed as hailing from "New York, Los...

LAist is running three contests right now: a pair of tickets for Bright Eyes with the LA Philharmonic for this Saturday, a pair of VIP passes to LA Weekly's Detour Festival on October 6 and a pair of tickets for next The Crystal Method at The Roxy next tuesday. Speaking of Detour, the line-ups and stages were announced today Hopefully, citizens won't get cheated as much anymore: the...

Eddie Van Halen still sorta is the greatest guitarist alive. And maybe you don't like your rock gods to be a little looney and close to death, but we do. And if we learned one thing about David Lee Roth it's that he aint no morning man, which is fine. What he is is the only front man that Van Halen should have ever had, and we're glad that all the nonsense was able...

Even though Beck is #1 this week, due in part to his headlining the LA Weekly Detour Festival, we present to you the video of Bob Dylan's 'When The Deal Goes Down', not just because it stars our girl Scarlett Johansson, but because Bob has somehow stayed in the Amoeba Top 25 ever since he debuted there early last month. Who says the kids don't have any taste? 1. Beck - Information 2. Killers...

For anyone who was at the LA Weekly Detour Festival downtown this past weekend and happened to see this part of !!!'s set, then you will laugh hysterically and love that LAist found this clip. For the rest of you, be very, very afraid.

Dear Richard, Did you make it to the LA Weekly Detour Festival that you won? i hope you went and had a great time. lemme know what went down, Tony, LAist Hey Tony, I was totally on the list, totally went, totally had a good time! So, because I am sort of lame, my date and I got there sort of late (Missing Red Kross and Blackalicious (who we wanted to see, !!! might've...

There used to be a time when MTV would go crazy for the latest Beck video, and they should've, his music and his visuals were always cutting edge. But then something happened a few years back and the golden boy decided he was going to follow in the moonwalk of Gordon Lightfoot and Don Henley and "keep it real" with the sad tunes. LAist liked the early experimental jet trash shit when he has...
