LA Weekly Detour Festival

I don't know Bitter:Sweet, but I'll take anyone's word for it they're a band to see (er, hear). But how can we see them at 5:45 and also see Gogol Bordello on a different stage at 6:30?


(I was also thinking of leaving after Gogol, because I want to take public transportation into Downtown ... but then I'd miss the other headliner, Mars Volta ... though I don't know squat about them. A heard a song by them a week or so ago. Neither floored nor disgusted. I'd certainly give them a shot, but not if it means getting stuck downtown after the trains stop running. How's everyone else planning on transport???)

At a multi-stage festival, 45 minutes between sets is a luxury. That's beyond enough time to get over to the other stage, more often you're lucky to have 15 or 20 minutes, and usually have to bail on a set early just to get THAT much time.

Would that I could go, but we'll be at Dodger Stadium that evening, hopefully watching the Dodgers crush the Cubs.

Ohh! I've only heard one of their songs that I know of but I was quite fond of it.
