(antiMusic) Never thought you'd see Morris Day and Buzzcocks perform at the same event? What about the O'Jays and Hot Hot Heat? When it comes to charity you can always count on artists from all walks of life to do their part and such is the case with the 27th Sunset Junction Street Festival which is set to take place on August 18th and 19th. Filter says that it is "two days filled with food, art, games and rides, with entertainment blasting from three on going stages, all emerge to celebrate local diversity." And looking at the line up that seems to be the case and the best part is that tickets are only a couple bucks more than megaplex showing the latest forgettable garbage that Hollywood is churning out. Hum, two hours of a crappy movie from Hollywood or going to Hollywood for two days of music including Ben Harper, She Wants Revenge and more. Better yet the proceeds won't be going to fund more bad Hollywood movies and enrich idiot actors, it's going to the Sunset Junction Neighborhood Alliance.
Three stages with a ton of musical variety will be set up. The Spaceland stage will sit at 4200 Sunset and host Sea Wolf, Ben Harper, The Bronx, Hot Hot Heat, Buzzcocks, She Wants Revenge and more. You can watch the sun go down over Santa Monica Blvd and check acts out on the Hoover stage (4200) which will include Denice Williams, Morris Day & The Time, The O’Jays and more. The underground will be found on the Sanborn Stage (4000 Sunset) featuring a bunch of acts even we haven't heard of.
