bands

It’s where you can catch most of the punk bands on the festival bill and it is one of the coolest spots, literally and figuratively.

This year’s Picnic Day, a free celebration, featured a parade, battle of the bands, fashion show and other events on an otherwise picture-perfect day with mild temperatures and a deep blue sky.

If two bands are identical in every regard, same label and promoter, same booking agency, making the same money and paying the same taxes, it’s a coin toss.

These performances and conversations took place against a backdrop of damaged horns, well-worn instrument cases, tools and faded photos of high school bands performing at the Rose Bowl Parade.

So counties with more homes in lower bands and fewer in the higher values will pay less council tax per dwelling.
