Did me some Santa Barbara Fiesta: had wonderful Mexican food, got to see all the families out walking like Europeans and listened to...metal bands?

Thursday night of Fiesta at the McKenzie Park El Mercado it's youth band night on the main stage. A famous SB musician arranges a block of time for the kid bands to play from 2-9p.m. It's a never miss event for my husband and me.  We started going to see the band of a kid of a friend of ours: Official Breakdown. It's fun to watch the change as the kids grow up.

The first time I saw them, I told my friend, you are in trouble. Their boy is a total rock star on the drums--Like David Grohl and Lars good--and the kid is surfer good looking: long blond hair, big brights eyes, hair tossing while wielding those sticks. My friend is going to have fun with this kid as the boy  gets older. They are only thirteen now.


Apparently there is something called Rock Camp now in Santa Barbara run by the drummer of Dishwalla and these kids are turned into little professional rock musicians. Amazing. Total professions, complete stage presence, amazing talent and they are not even out of high school. You should check it out sometime. Heard some great talent, great music, got to sit on the grass on a beautiful SB Night, you have to go into the drinking zone to drink nowadays, which is a bummer, but overall just a wonderful evening.

Where else can you have a really good time for next to nothing and listen to wickedly talented kids play Hendrix at an Old Spanish Days Festival.  Fun Night!

We were so glad you and Randy were able to make it last Thursday! I am sorry you missed seeing Gwennie perform with the boys, but hopefully she'll have one more Fiesta in her next summer before she leaves for college. Thank you so much for supporting their band and writing about the kids.
