STREET SCENE RECAP

Band of Horses 9-2

STREET SCENE: One writer's take on Street Scene bands

While the sun was going down and struggling to set, I steadily made my way to the Fulano Stage for Band of Horses, a band I’ve never seen before. But rumors of country twang and clever harmony always keep my curiosity pumping. Full story

Chromeo 9-2

STREET SCENE: Lighted leg stands signature to duo

It wouldn’t be a musical Pu Pu platter without a splash of electronic spice to Street Scene. Full story

Thievery Corporation 9-2

STREET SCENE: Dub DJs add a worldly way

Take one part lounge music, one part electronic beats, one part political consciousness and a thick spoonful of international flair and you have Washington D.C.-based DJ duo Thievery Corporation.  As one of the last acts on the second day of Street Scene, many people were tired. They were tired from the heat and tired of hearing similar-sounding bands play again and again. And this was just the right stage for them. Full story

Glaude 9-2

STREET SCENE: DJ performed intimate set on Casbah Stage

If you don’t know Donald Glaude, you don’t know entertainment. This dreadlocked DJ was probably Friday night’s MVP, creating quite the stir on the Casbah Stage at Street Scene 2009. While he may be better known for his onstage antics than his musical abilities, Glaude puts on a show as interactive as performance gods Freddie Mercury and Mick Jagger. Full story

Jack White 9-2

STREET SCENE: White's new jam-band makes the weekend

A super-group like none other, The Dead Weather blends blues and rock perfectly

An unquestionable highlight of this year’s Street Scene was the performance of Jack White’s recent project, The Dead Weather. Gracing one of the headliner stages at 8:35 p.m. on  Saturday night, guests of this music festival were treated with the raw sounds of the Tennessee-based band. Starting off the set was “60 Feet Tall,” track one off its debut album, “Horehound,” which proved this fresh band is a force to be reckoned with. Full story

Banhart 9-2

STREET SCENE: Despite a broken rib, Banhart woos and coos crowd

Singer-songwriter made a soothing appearance Friday

Venezuelan-raised Devendra Banhart is one of the artists connected to the New Weird America musical genre, as well as a variety of folk styles. Despite his quirkiness, he may be best remembered for dating Natalie Portman, who even gave quite the performance in one of his music videos. Full story

Faint 9-2

STREET SCENE: Elecro-rock legend The Faint shatters dance floor

Four guys. Guitar, bass, keyboards, drums. Such a simple equation has been taken by Nebraskan natives The Faint and electronically warped into a unique indie rock sound unlike any band. It’s hard to believe from the rock-out performance at day two of Street Scene, that Bright Eyes’ Conor Oberst was once a member of this band. Full story

STREET SCENE: San Diego tradition makes a scene

Last weekend was not only the hottest weekend of the year. Aside from the heat, our quaint downtown quarter played host to a long-standing San Diego tradition -- Street Scene. Full story
