NEW ANNUAL ROCK FESTIVAL PRESENTED BY RIGHT ARM ENTERTAINMENT DEBUTS SATURDAY, AUGUST 22 AT FAIRPLEX IN POMONA WITH TOOL, LINKIN PARK AND 10 ADDITIONAL ACTS
Southern California rock fans now have another festival to add to their calendar.

The annual music festival is presented by Right Arm Entertainment (creators of Ohio’s successful Rock on the Range annual festival) and will feature 12 acts throughout the day on multiple stages, with music set to kick off at 12 Noon.
“Talk about a killer lineup,” says Linkin Park co-frontman Chester Bennington. “Tool, Alice In Chains, Wolfmother—if we weren't performing, we'd come just to see all the bands. This is gonna be our only North American gig all year and we promise to make it a show to remember.”
“To introduce a new rock festival in Southern California, you have to dream big,” says Right Arm Entertainment’s Gary Spivack, co-executive producer of the festival. “Having Tool is an event in and of itself—and when you add Linkin Park's only 2009 North American concert, Alice In Chains, Wolfmother, Atmosphere and all these acts, it’s more than we could have envisioned for the first Epicenter. We’re dedicated to making this the best rock festival of the summer.”

IT DOESN'T PAY TO 'SHARE' MUSIC: APPARENTLY 24 TRACKS COST $3.6 MILLION!
I think it should go like this, Jammie takes out a sub prime loan backed by the government to buy the music she wants (to the tune of 3.6 million). Then she can pay back the record companies the money they are seeking, and she should life time access to all the music she could ever want. Then write the government a letter informing them that they will in fact need to 'Back' the loan and that she is 'bailing-out'. How is that for a story for ya?

AEROSMITH TO PERFORM 'TOYS IN THE ATTIC' FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER ON '09 SUMMER TOUR
AEROSMITH PERFORMING CLASSIC ‘TOYS IN THE ATTIC’ ALBUM IN ITS ENTIRETY FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER ON CURRENT NORTH AMERICAN SUMMER TOUR
During their current North American summer tour, AEROSMITH—America’s Greatest Rock ‘N Roll Band who’ve sold over 150 million albums, won four Grammys and been inducted into the Rock and Roll of Fame—is performing their classic TOYS IN THE ATTIC album live from front to back, along with an array of AEROSMITH hits. This marks the first time ever that the band has played the 8-million-plus-selling 1975 disc in its entirety. The influential TOYS… has inspired many musicians, including REM, who covered the song on 1987’s Dead Letter Office. In addition, a copy of the album was one of two AEROSMITH albums that astronaut pilot Mark E. Kelly took with him on board the Space Shuttle Discovery on a 13-day, 8.5 million-kilometer trip to the International Space Station in July 2006.
TOYS… features the hits and AEROSMITH concert staples “Walk This Way” and “Sweet Emotion” and the LP was featured on Rolling Stone’s list of the “Greatest Albums Of All Time.” Writing about TOYS IN THE ATTIC in the November 1, 2003 Rolling Stone feature, the magazine said: “This is where Aerosmith perfected their raunchy blues-rock sound, with guitarist Joe Perry laying down some of the Seventies' most indelible riffs on ‘Walk This Way’ and ‘Sweet Emotion,’ and Steven Tyler stepping up with an album full of unforgettable songs about his favorite topic: sex.”

OFFICIAL BUMBERSHOOT 2009 ART
Bumbershoot is proud to work directly with two Seattle artists on this year’s official Festival artwork and annual Fine Arts Poster.
Sasha Barr
Official Bumbershoot 2009 artwork
Bumbershoot’s 2009 campaign artwork was created by Sasha Barr, a Seattle-based illustrator/designer. Born and raised in Tennessee, Barr relocated to Washington in 2007 to embrace a different pace of life and a cooler climate. His portfolio includes work for Sub Pop and Suicide Squeeze Records, Intiman Theatre and a number of artists (including rock posters for Ray LaMontagne, Death Cab for Cutie, Cat Power, The All-American Rejects, among others).
Warren Dykeman
Bumbershoot 2009 Fine Arts Poster
The Official Bumbershoot 2009 Fine Arts Poster features “Fullness,” a work from local artist Warren Dykeman, an Eastern Washington native and graduate of Western Washington University. Dykeman grew up in Kennewick, Washington, just outside the Hanford Nuclear Reservation. Having lived under the shadow of America’s atomic ambitions, Warren’s work is informed by the Cold War era Americana that surrounded him in his formative years. The selected piece featured for this year’s poster displays his graphic design roots, incorporating handmade sign lettering, digital art and a variety of materials to create rhythm between contour and color, ultimately developing a unique take on primitive folk art. The 2009 Fine Arts Poster is made possible with support from the Seattle Office of Arts & Cultural Affairs.
