About Me

Sponsored By : &

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. That first year also flaunted one of COMETS ON FIRE's first SF shows, THE PHANTOM SURFERS, THEE FLYING DUTCHMEN, THE JEWWS, and loads more...look up the poster. Much to everyone's shock the resulting festival was not only not a complete and utter fiasco, it sold -out weeks in advance and drew fans from such exotic global locations as Madrid, Spain, Milan, Italy and Groverston, Alabama. (A couple bruised up underage lads from Atlanta with no tickets to the sold out weekend even showed up on the Parkside doorstep and guilt-tripped us into letting them in..."No, we don't have ID...I mean we flew all the way here from Georgia, sooo..." When they stumbled away a few days later they did leave a few copies of their band's brand new record, the unbelievably kickass debut Black Lips 7")....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 nobodys business. Hailed by both musicians and the paying public as a full-blown success on message boards all over this great nation, a befuddled Parkside staff shrugged, collected their wits from the barroom floor and set out to give the people what they want; more BudgetRock. 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, so read on.

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. 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.
