The annual Sunset Junction Street Fair officially kicked off yesterday, and BeatCrave was there to cover the goods for you!
What started out as a very hot and sticky day eventually transformed itself into the perfect breezy summer night just in time for the late acts such as Delta Spirit and Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band. Although there were three stages altogether at the festival, the Bates stage was the place to be for both your favorite and upcoming bands.
Check out what each set had to offer through the day in the re-cap below! We’ve also got a photo gallery for your viewing pleasure.

Los Angeles Quartet War Tapes hasn’t been in the music scene for too long, but already they’ve been compared to the likes of Joy Division, Echo & the Bunnymen, Interpol, and even The Cure. War Tapes’ 1980s new-wave post-punk style is unique in the sense that it also has the ability to entrance people and get them to sing along as well. Lead Singer, Neil Popkin, likes to call it “heart quaking doom-pop.”
War Tapes’ new album, The Continental Divide, was released earlier this year on May 26th, and has helped them garner much success. Their newest claim to fame has been their cameo on ABC’s hit TV show, “Greek” just a few days ago.
Catch War Tapes on tour in a city near you and check them out in our BeatCrave Fav series below!
