Fans of the Minutemen, young and old, have probably already heard about the Sardines three-day BIG fOIST festival happening on August 13. The festival, named after the Minutemen’s 1984 single.
The festival is a smash up of an old school record swap and live music event that will be free to the public. The three day will be at the Sardine and at Brouwerij West from August 13 to 15. Single day passes are still available for the music fest. The swap will be directly next door to the Sardine at 1105 W. Pacific Ave. and the Swap will be 21 and up.
Friday night’s headliner is F.Y.P. This band was started by Todd Congelliere in 1989 and remained active all throughout the 90’s. This band was the predecessor of Congelliere’s Toys That Kill and Underground Railroad to Candyland.
