The inaugural Bunbury Music Festival (@bunburyfestival) starts TONIGHT, in Cincinnati, Ohio. Jane’s Addiction, Weezer and Death Cab for Cutie headline, along with many mid-level national indie acts, local bands and DJ sets.
This past Monday, on WVQC’s Salina Underground, we spoke with organizer / festival wizard Bill Donabedian about the upcoming shows. Special guest co-hosts Brian Kitzmiller (@blackowls1) and Brad Schnittger (of The Sundresses and @allnightparty) co-hosted. Dave Butler of the Black Owls also made a remote appearance. We programmed a Bunbury preview smorgasbord that night, available here for FREE PODCAST DOWNLOAD, in case you need to get in the mood for this weekend’s festivities. All the artists we played, excepting music in the breaks, will be playing Bunbury. More info and set times at www.bunburymusicfestival.com. Here’s the playlist from Monday:
