Cochina Fest is an annual event occurring this year on June 5 and 6 at Higginbotham Park in Claremont. Festival coordinator Chris Payne forbids the featured acts from using any electric instruments that aren’t battery-powered, but Chris stresses that Cochina is “not an acoustic showcase.”
“We strive to incorporate all kinds of styles of music into the festival each year,” he says, describing a lineup that includes artists as diverse as John Thill (an acoustic singer-songwriter called “The Bruce Springsteen of Pomona Valley” before his late-2008 departure to greener pastures in Napa) and Nora Keyes (who sounds like a mix of the Sex Gang Children, a broken carnival ride, and a punch in the stomach).
The artists involved also have a great deal of latitude when it comes to how, exactly, they will reinterpret their sound for the festival. According to Chris, “while there will be some people who play acoustic guitar, it is far from limited to that… Battery powered amps, noise-makers, keyboards, toys, and the like are acceptable.”
Last week on SEANCARNAGE.COM, you were treated to profiles and mp3s from four of the groups that are playing Cochina.
This week we feature four more acts, each of which will strive to present something a bit more offbeat than the folk sounds that pop into the minds of most people when they hear the words “unplugged concert in the park.”
Mega mega thanks all around… To the performers (Winners, Margot/I.E., The Amazements, The Monolators, Social Junk, Big Nurse, Kyle and Dalton/Sichshifter, Doug/Birth!), the DJs (Health especially Jupiter, Kyle), MC Peter Moran, Anna, Erik Anaya, Vanessa, Dana, everyone else who helped out at the door, Pehrspace, and all the Monday Night friends/supporters/collaborators/attendees past and present… we fucking did it (somehow).
More commentary on the night and the absolutely, joyous and MIND-EXPANDING performances in a follow-up post… I wanted to share last Monday’s photos as soon as possible. These are, just like my shows, FOR YOU!!!
