Last weekend, the Full Moon Resort in Oliverea played host to the wonderfully-named Beefstock music festival -- an annual get-together of musicians that has been going for ten years now.
Beefstock, which has been called "Bonnaroo for great obscure New York bands," began as a tribute to Darren Bohan, a musician who died in the World Trade Center on 9/11.
We dropped by on Saturday to catch some of the Beefstockers doing a raucous set of "crash course karaoke," complete with instruments. Above, you can see, from left to right. Fred Gillen Jr. (vocals), Joe Filosa (drums), Loren Mattina (vocals), Andy Mattina (bass), Kate Fitzpatrick (vocals), Alan Bigelow (guitar), Joe Mitch (drums), and John Sharples (keys), doing a rousing version of "Love Shack."
4/12/11 Update: This post has been corrected -- a lot of those names weren't right the first time around. (It was pretty loud in there.) Thanks for the help, Alan!
