One of the randomly generator festival lineups, courtesy of the "90s Festival Generator."
Need a live music fix ... or better yet, a festival fix. Well, look no further.I just ran across the "90s Festival Generator." It's a clever website that, with a click of a button, randomly curates a diverse selection of bands, crafting a custom line up for a two stage (one for mobile devices), single …

Flashback: Poptone @ the Cloak & Dagger Festival at the Globe Theatre on 10.21.17

Poptone perform at the Cloak and Dagger Festival at the Globe Theatre on 10.21.17. Sorry for the annoying head that blots out Kevin Haskins on drums. But this is the best pic I could find from back then.

A hot sunny afternoon on the Main Stage, a.k.a. The Oaks, at Pasadena Daydream at Brookside Park on 08.31.19.
Pasadena Daydream: The Line Up. This post covers the rest of The Cure’s cabinet of curiosities, better known as the Pasadena Daydream Festival, which took place at Brookside Park, essentially a golf course adjacent to the Rose Bowl, at the conclusion of last month.  It goes without saying that it's taken me awhile to get …

The Cure @ Pasadena Daydream at Brookside Park on 08.31.19

The Cure perform at Pasadena Daydream at Brookside Park on 08.31.19.
I’ll try and keep this one relatively brief, since I’ve already devoted a few prior posts to The Cure.  But I wanted to get something written up for their Pasadena Daydream performance before too much time has lapsed.  The Brit five-piece headlined the festival at Brookside Park, a.k.a. the Rose Bowl's adjacent golf course/parking lot, …
