Revolution, Revelation, Redemption
As usual, the first band at last Tuesday’s Bowl show opened to an embarrassingly small crowd. But rather than complain about our hallowed venue’s early start times-that’s the way it is and ever shall be-it’s about time we adapt and learn to be on time. That’s especially the case when the concert’s first chapter is a show-stealing band such as Spearhead, led by the poetically prophetic Michael Franti.
SB’s Kings of Spain on NBC

Welcome to The Weekender
Welcome to “The Weekender,” one of the new online columns from The Santa Barbara Independent. Every Monday-or if it was a really long weekend, perhaps on Tuesday-The Weekender will recount as much as possible the previous weekend’s goings-on. That might mean mini concert reviews, notes on a new restaurant, trips to a wine tasting room, late nights at poolside party, early mornings in a dingy bar, the playing of obscure sports, trips to other happening cities:the possibilities are limitless. So make this a weekly stop to cure your case of the Mondays.
