Today's Bands

July 22
Alinea 3:45 PM to 4:30 PM Alinea means “new train of thought” which is what their music reflects. Their original music is alt rock with classic rock and blues influence. Lead guitarist and singer JJ Barry and drummer Lance Meliota started playing together in a 5th grade surf band called The Treblemakers. Rhythm guitar and singer Ben Tyrrell and bassist Shannon Ennis also played together in grade school. Along the way, they all met up and Alinea was born. Alinea’s music and lyrics are all original, written by JJ Barry and Ben Tyrrell. Alinea was the Winner of 2017 Manhattan Beach Hometown Fair Battle of the Bands-South Bay.		The Pine Mountain Logs 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM Prepare yourselves, if you can, for cover songs performed with such energy and attitude, with voices so pure and performances so transcendent, that you might just find yourself, against your better judgment, dancing so hard that your legs snap off, leaving your torso flopping helplessly -- yet happily -- into a musical oblivion. Such is the power of The Pine Mountain Logs. For these are no ordinary covers. Surprises lurk around every corner. The Police's "Message in a Bottle" might unexpectedly turn into the theme from "Gilligan's Island." The chorus to David Bowie's "Fame" could transition into the chorus from Irene Cara's 80s anthem, "Fame: I'm Gonna Live Forever." Any song could end with the 70s tag "Solid Gold" -- and often does. Praised for their pitch-perfect harmonies and stunning live shows by superstars like David Crosby, who calls them "the best vocal group in the country and one of the best bands I have ever heard," and Jackson Browne, who calls them "quintessentially Californian," Venice has cultivated quite the reputation, both domestically and internationally, for their brilliant musicianship, remarkable vocal stylings, and lyrics that are intelligent and often laced with wit. The Logs' repertoire of high energy classics range from Led Zeppelin to the Jackson Five, Tom Petty, TLC, Aerosmith, Outkast, Steely Dan, Janet Jackson, Doobie Brothers, REM, and Earth Wind and Fire, all reinterpreted with that Venice touch, while clever transitions and unexpected medleys show off a wicked sense of humor.
