Part two of two.
As mentioned previously, on Saturday, Levitt Pavilions Free Music across America presented the inaugural edition of Make Music Pasadena (MySpace), with performances on six main stages and 24 other locations around the city.
The artists on the Emerging Artists Stage at One Colorado Courtyard, which was where last year's Pasadena Music Festival was held, included Princeton (MySpace), Adele Jacques (MySpace) with Antipop, DJ Antipop (MySpace) from Telepopmusik (MySpace), Stonehoney (MySpace), AM (MySpace), Meiko (MySpace), Jesca Hoop (MySpace), and Everest (MySpace).

For Dengue Fever and Everest, Saturday was the last time they'll be performing locally for awhile, with Dengue Fever departing for a European/American tour through September and Everest on a European tour through mid-July. So it was befitting that Dengue Fever appeased their hometown fans with an encore performance, much to the chagrin of the stage manager.
Special thanks to AM, Meiko, Jesca Hoop, Everest, and Make Music Pasadena.
At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
