Music festival Desert Daze, set to take place in Joshua Tree at the Institute of Mentalphysics October 14-16, has announced the first round of names included in its impressively packed lineup. As a performer, I'm thrilled since I will be playing drums with Gary Wilson and the Blind Dates. As a fan, I'm equally excited to see acts like Suicide (this is apparently their first West Coast show in nearly a decade and a half), the Sonics, Thee Oh Sees,Cherry Glazerr, and Cellars (to name just a handful of my personal favorites).
I'll be sure to post more information when "Phase Two" is announced in June, and again closer to this exciting event. Thanks, as always, for tuning in!
