I attended Burger Boogaloo<\/strong><\/a> for the first time in 2016. I had tickets for both days, but ended up only going on Saturday. My faves that day were The Okmoniks, Psychedelic Pineapple,<\/strong> and Angry Samoans<\/strong>. Headliners that day were The Mummies<\/strong> who I found gimmicky and forgettable. But I thought it was a pretty kicked-back festival, and I\u2019m thinking about going back this year, if I find anybody to go with.<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

So, I just spent the morning watching videos from all the bands that have been announced so far. Here is my assessment:<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Saturday \u00a0July 1<\/h3>\n
Car Crash<\/strong> – ? Not found.<\/div>\n
Baby Shakes<\/strong> – Yes. Cute, retro girl band.<\/div>\n
Bloodshot Bill<\/strong> – Yes. Novelty one-man band, rockabilly, kind of awesome.<\/div>\n
Wounded Lion<\/strong> – No. Rock and roll, kinda rootsy. I found it boring, and irritated me by second video.<\/div>\n
Personal & the Pizzas<\/strong> – No. Derivative novelty act that sounds like Ramones rip off.<\/div>\n
Nobunn<\/strong>y – Nope. Buncha ugly doods, one with bunny nose, screaming. Couldn\u2019t last one video.<\/div>\n
Guitar Wolf<\/strong> – Yes? Japanese power trio with leather jackets. Straight ahead, yet stylish.<\/div>\n
Iggy Pop<\/strong> – Yes. Never seen Iggy, but a fan. Main reason to attend on Saturday.<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sunday July 2<\/h3>\n
Glitter Wizard<\/strong> – Yes. Buncha cute rangy long hairs with a kind of psychedelic sound. They have a keyboard.<\/div>\n
Jacuzzi Boys<\/strong> – Yes. Catchy pop, good sound.<\/div>\n
La Luz<\/strong> – YES. All girl surf music band. Stylish, twangy and reverb-y. Guitar player is\u00a0pretty fucking awesome.<\/div>\n
Quintron &\u00a0Ms. Pussycat<\/strong> – Yes. One-man electronic keyboard prodigy and singing friend.\u00a0Psychedelic rock, weird yet catchy.<\/div>\n
TBA<\/strong> – ?<\/div>\n
Roy Loney<\/strong> – Meh. Retro 50\u2019s rock by a Dana Carvey lookalike and his band. Many former members of the Flamin\u2019 Groovies.<\/div>\n
NRBQ<\/strong> – Meh.\u00a0I guess they\u2019re a classic blues act that\u2019s been around since the dawn of time. Some tasty licks, but not really\u00a0my thing.<\/div>\n
X<\/strong> – Yes. Saw them in Santa Cruz this year, and several times previously. Always great.<\/div>\n
Buzzcocks<\/strong> – Yes. I saw Buzzcocks in the 80\u2019s and they were great. Harmony in my Head<\/em> is one of my favorite songs of all time.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
What are your thoughts?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Update:<\/strong> I found someone to go with on Sunday. I decided it wasn’t worth $99 to see Iggy Pop, if there was basically nothing else on the line up that looked really exciting. Sunday is only $69, and there are several bands that I’m interested in checking out.<\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
