Summer And Music

Summer and Music series
All Summer, Downtown Long Beach

Fingerprints has once again partnered with the fine folks at Schooled in Song, a pairing that brought 30 bands, 3 stages, and as much free music as this town could hold in one day to the East Village Arts District last Summer, with the influence and finances of both the DLBA and RDA to bring you the best in local and internationally touring artists for a series of weekly free concerts. We've corralled three of the nicest corners in the Downtown area and have our crews sweeping and polishing for your arrival. So far, we've done a test run with Mama's Boys at the Rainbow Harbor, Brett Bixby and DJ Abel at the East Village Farmer's Market, and a street corner session by So Many Wizards and Deep Sea Diver on the corner of Pine and 1st (look for video coming soon). But more important than the peek back at the first couple sets, which really did work well, is a peek forward to some of our favorites who are upcoming: 00 Soul, DJ Lithuanian Prince & Brooke Lee Catastrophe, and Jay Buchanan this coming weekend, Greater California next weekend, and our first blowout street party the following weekend with DJ Dennis Owens (Good Foot / Fingerprints LP buyer), New Fidelity, Boogaloo Assassins, Money Mark, and ALO - all combined with a Scooter show and the feeling that "we own this place" that comes with a Pine Street closure (and all free!). Check out our S.A.M. website and start working on plans to have your out of town friends over to the Beach. Soon you can also join us on Facebook and Twitter for the full stereo sound (we'll post the links as soon as they're active).
