A young and dressed for summer crowd hit the Santa Barbara Bowl on Friday afternoon to enjoy an eclectic selection of alternative bands. 92.9 KJEE put on their Summer Round Up, featuring Cage The Elephant, Manchester Orchestra, Peter, Bjorn & John, Foster The People and Sleeper Agent. Lykke Li was forced to cancel at the last minute, due to an illness, so in a cool twist of fate, each band got to play a full set. There were plenty of drinks flowing at the Bowl- the outside lounge area, filling up with hipsters between every set. This led to an upbeat and joyful day as the Santa Barbara weather gave us it’s usual perfect mix of warm but not hot afternoon, followed by a cool evening. There was plenty of dancing and flirting going on in the eclectic crowd and none of the acts disappointed. All of the bands were in a positive mood and some highlight sets were from Foster The People and Manchester Orchestra. Here is a quick look-in to the day.
