Eagle Rock Music Festival 10.10.7 By N. Fitzpatrick
Eagle Rock is an almost bucolic Los Angles neighborhood adjacent to Pasadena. Sponsored by the Center for the Arts, their ninth annual music festival has now grown tremendously since I last attended. This is the second year that Colorado Blvd. is closed to allow free access to forty bands spread along six blocks. The venues are mostly the parking lots of local businesses, with the exception of the 20th Century Women's Club which offers a more traditional indoor stage. The community setting is a radical departure from this summer's Silverlake Street Fair as the band's are all strictly local but nonetheless entertaining, plus it's free! My faves were a psycho-billy trio call The Curs who had a massive moshpit in an plumbing supply lot. An outfit call the Virginia City Revival was part Cramps, part tent revival and engaged the crowd of all ages (from five to fifty-five). There were local favorites Dengue Fever and The Pity Party (the latter garning some catcalls which were curtly dispatched by their drummer),plus the mighty Under The Influence of Giants. I look forward to next year and one can only hope they can manage to keep it a free event.
