Mosswood Meltdown (formerly Burger Boogaloo), a glorious celebration of everything that fascists hate, is taking place in Oakland this weekend. Today (Saturday) I skipped a few acts to score a good spot at the other stage, check out the merch vendors, and get some autographs, but all the bands that I saw were fantastic: cumgirl8, the 5.6.7.8's
, Tina and the Total Babes, the Rondelles (with guest bassist Helene 33 from the Okmoniks
), ESG, and Le Tigre!
I missed their performance at last year's Meltdown
but in the audience and checking out today's amazing lineup were Mila, Eloise, and Lucia from the Linda Lindas!
Still more to come tomorrow! I'm especially looking forward to seeing Bratmobile's first show in over 20 years; I failed to see them live back in the day.
