The inaugural Music Tastes Good festival went off in a big way over the weekend in downtown Long Beach, drawing mostly modest crowds (plus onlookers from nearby apartments and condo complexes) for a veritable feast of music. It was at its peak on Saturday, when five stages were erected over over a several-block area, and while there were some first-year hiccups (one side stage was initially erected backwards, facing away from the fest, causing some delays), the crowds gobbled up sets from Iron & Wine, the Specials, Dr. Dog, Warpaint, Gallant, Squeeze and Sylvan Esso, among others.
