The BFD (Big F*cking Deal) 2012 Alt/Rock festival is coming to Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View on June 2nd, featuring Jane's Addiction as the headline act, among 40 bands on 4 stages.

If anyone else is planning to go, let's get together at the show (I have reserved seats already). Email me if you want to make plans:

BFD has been going on for 18 years (I went to the first one in 1994 with Green Day, Beck, and the Pretenders).

Here are the acts scheduled for this year's BFD:

Old school... :pimp



Fun way to kick off the summer (although I think I already did that a few weeks ago, the weather has been so damn good this year)... :D

I really enjoy festival shows for exposing new or different artists:


New album reminds me of something slightly Smashing Pumpkins-esque. Silversun Pick-ups are playing a free show at Amoeba records in San Francisco next Wednesday.






Features Tom Delonge from Blink 182.

Sounds like a great time.

funny I checked Janes Addiction's Myspace and there is no mention at all there of the show, or any of their other shows :error

Prolly quit updating their MySpace a few years ago like many of us did... :upsidedow

The Janes Addition "Theater of the Escapists" underground orgy tour dates are on their official website:

Sounds like a killer show

Wish my kids were a bit older :)

I'd take em ;)

you are right, but that is a bad idea for a band, Myspace has actually really slicked up their interface and server speed, and I think it is still a go-to place when someone wants to check up on some of their favorite bands and see very current tour information.

I need to rent some kids. It sucks when young people scowl at me with disdain for committing the crime of liking the same music as them. :helpme

Well, until I whip out some cannabis that blows their mind, then we're all cool... :stoned

Listening to tunes by some of the bands who will be performing at BFD on June 2nd - didn't know some of the bands by name, but recognize the music from the airwaves:

Awesome BFD show yesterday! Chillin' and doing the BBQ tonight... :stoned

Highlights...got to meet and get pix with the Silversun Pick-ups (I know one of the DJs from Live 105 who hooked me up)...Garbage was excellent - only wish their set was longer (Shirley Manson was slinky and hot)...Silversun Pickups was the biggest surprise - strong show, good female bassist...and Jane's Addiction did one of the tightest performances I have seen. Both Dave Navarro and Perry Ferrell were in great form, and they did some good extended jams on a few songs, including a raunchy BDSM version of "Nothing's Shocking" - their new material was really good too!
