Handcar Regatta

“Plum-cheeked” Ashley Allred of the local band, Odd Bird, entrances in a “music video” filmed at our very own Handcar Regatta, 2011! Enjoy!

If you look below the underbelly of the boomtown back-alley… past the wayback juke joint jam sessions… beyond the fabulous furry freakshow, you’ll find the Mystic Beat Lounge (producers of the “Harmony Festival Techno-Tribal Dance“) family getting rowdy in the Buffalo Bus back yard.

Jump aboard our bandwagon of sideshow beauties and carnival kooks. The Cattywomp Bus stage will be womping and jumping all day long with a mind-rattling array of antics performers, terrible comedians, magicians, hoopers, hypers, DJ’s and divas. We’re collecting tail feathers and it’s our intention to shake yours loose!

Featuring the musical and performance stylings of:

• Eenor Wildeboar of Yard Dogs
• CircusMecca
• Troupe Sattya
• Toniq Vivant
• Eva D’Luscious
• MC El Marco

During our glorious three years so far, certain artists have been supporting us throughout. Among those special few, Gabby LaLa is one of our favorites.

I trust our beloved Regatta friends will clamor to return Gabby’s generosity by attending her latest album release party:

Mystic Theater, Petaluma, CA
8pm on Friday, February 18th, 2011

More info at Ms. LaLa’s website and at Mystic Theater’s.

I, Erasmus P. Kitty, have the extraordinary honor of announcing this season’s Live Music & Performances!

As witnessed last year, we are proud to present a wide selection of melodious stylings from both local acts and minstrels from the Bay Wilds, plus those players from celebrated townships in between.

Unlike last season, stages are scattered about with emphasis on smaller bandstands and roving buskers to greater embrace the participatory aspects of music so often neglected in the usual lofty stage above with spectator below.

I DECLARE: Music shall belong to The People!

ITEM!
A small sampling of songs are available for your discerning ear in addition to engaging portraiture of the musicians themselves.

Take a moment, if you will, to peruse the lineup…
