SPECIAL 4-DAY EVENT!
October
25th-28th The Stork Club, Oakland, CA
Dreamt
up one evening in the winter of 2001 by five disgruntled and bitter
music fans, the original Budget Rock Showcase was initially conceived as
a platform to bring THE LYRES to the 6 inch Parkside stage for their
first Bay Area appearance in (what was it? like) 15 years (or
something). That and to just generally celebrate mindless garage rock
(particularly the Bay Area's superior firing power in said genre
compared to the rest of the world). It was to be a one-off, three-day,
two-night, all-expenses paid love-in for a handful of Thee Parkside's
closest and dearest three-chord friends.
Much to everyone's shock the resulting festival wasn't complete and utter fiasco...it sold -out weeks in advance and drew fans from such exotic global locations as Madrid, Milan, and Groverston, Alabama. Well, when the smoke finally cleared BudgetRock ended up as the calendar year's only truly successful West Coast garage festival. There were no long lines, no near riots, no bands-not-getting-paid and no broken promises; just twenty-five bands for twenty-five bucks rockin' it like nobody's business. Hailed by both musicians and the paying public as a full-blown success Budget Rock was held at the Parkside for 4 more years of the funnest/most exhausting weekend of the year, with memorable performances by CRIME, FLESHTONES, WOGGLES, MORLOCKS, FE FI FO FUMS, OKMONIKS, OMENS, local legends like ROY LONEY and THE LEGENDARY STARDUST COWBOY and all the dim stars in the local BudgetRock universe: HAROLD RAY LIVE IN CONCERT, SLA, HUSBANDS, ROCK N ROLL ADVENTURE KIDS, FLAKES...goodness... the list just goes on and on and many of 'em are back this year!
In 2006 for Budget Rock V we moved from our traditional home at Thee Parkside in San Francisco to the Bay Area's ground zero for this kind of primo shit: Oakland's STORK CLUB and hosted headliners THE ORIGINAL SINS, RAY LONEY, THE OMENS, THE SUSPICIONS and the amazing MORLOCKS
The 2007 Budget Rock VI will again happen at the Stork. Set for October 25-28 we'll be replacing the world famous HOT DOG EATING CONTEST on Saturday afternoon with a COSTUME CONTEST hosted by new Bay Area Nobunny/Okmoniks main main JUSTIN. Food will be available out front by the Bay Area's tastiest TACO TRUCKS and there will of course be lots of able DJs.
