This just in: The music lineup for the 2010 Port of Los Angeles Lobster Festival – Lobsterfest to everybody who got buttery fingers in past years – is its most impressive yet, featuring John Doe & Exene Cervenka anchoring a roster of some of SoCal’s most promising up-and-comers and genre-diverse indie artists.
The three-day shindig in San Pedro is Sept. 17-19.
With the likes of Dengue Fever (Cambodian psych-pop), Fitz & the Tantrums (amped-up revivalist soul), Saint Motel (theatrical dance-rock), Gram Rabbit (desert-fried electro), Leslie Stevens & the Badgers (country) and the Section Quartet (the rocking-est strings around), Lobsterfest is looking more and more like a destination for serious music fans as well as consumers of crustaceans.

First of all, that is the BEST lobster picture ever.
Second, the lineup this year is SICK. Huge props. $7 to see some amazing bands even if you don’t eat. I call that a steal!
Agreed, that is THE BEST Lobster Fest photo yet ~ and I’ve been to the past 10! Always the best music, the best food, great time that everyone should attend.
$7? I’m totally going twice… Growlers on Saturday & Tijuana Panthers on Sunday. yes yes yes
