Pietasters play Herndon festival!
I’ve been to Herndon festival several times in the past, since I grew up in Reston and went to Herndon middle and high school. It’s fun; it’s a carnival atmosphere and I’ve seen some interesting music before, but no bands I’ve really been -that- into.
I was really surprised to hear the Pietasters are playing Herndon festival tonight! The ‘tasters are a ska/soul group from DC; they played with Joe Strummer in the ’90s. Can’t beat that for a free show. I’m either gonna do that tonight or sit on my butt and watch BSG (not a bad backup plan really).
Update: It was fun! We missed the first set because we stupidly watched the second stage, thinking that was the opening act. The band on the second stage, Locos Por Juana, a latin ska band, turned out to be pretty good.
I’m really happy we got to see one set of the Pietasters at least! This was the first time I’ve seen the Pietasters live.
