This Is My Fest 3 – Saturday at The Annex & Oakland Metro, Oakland, California

Saturday late afternoon of This Is My Fest saw a few bands play sets at The Annex, a burgers and beer place across the street from Oakland Metro, a cavernous space with two stages. The afternoon sets featured perennial favorites Bastards of Young and Fools Rush, and the night-time sets had bands alternating between the two spaces. Computer Class was hilarious fun, and it was great to see San Diego favorites Western Settings and Caskitt outside of hometown venues. And though all of the bands were very worthy, the night belonged to San Francisco’s Great Apes and the incomparable Kepi Ghoulie.
