If we can't have a great music festival on Alcatraz, this'll do
The Noise Pop peeps have done it again. In conjunction with Another Planet Entertainment, they've just announced an outdoor fall music festival on Treasure Island, the other mysterious land mass in the middle of the San Francisco Bay. It's been so long since I've been out there, it's just this exit on the Bay Bridge that I always used to speed past. But come September 15 . . .
THE FIRST TREASURE ISLAND MUSIC FESTIVAL
SEPT 15-16, 2007
Modest Mouse
M. Ward
Thievery Corporation
Spoon
Gotan Project
DJ Shadow & Cut Chemist
Built To Spill
M.I.A.
Ghostland Observatory
Clap Your Hands Say Yeah
...and others to be announced. In addition to the above acts, there will also be a second stage featuring up and coming local bands. According to the press release, "It is the first music-based event of this scale and scope to take place on the man-made island that was originally built to house the 1939 World’s Fair."
(I also just found out that parts of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade were filmed on Treasure Island, which just ratchets up its rad factor in my book)
