Live and Otherwise: Lakefront Music


A beautiful lake and beautiful music, what more could you ask for? Well taking place this upcoming weekend, Oct. 7-9, is Arizona’s own Apache Lake Music Festival. With over 30 local acts and camping galore, this is shaping up to be one hell of a weekend getaway from the city. For only 30 dollars you can sit back and relax and enjoy both the scenery and sounds as you get a delightful helping of the hearty music scene that AZ has to offer. Bands including Snakes!Snakes!Snakes! (a richly structured indie pop rock outfit that makes some simply wonderful music), Dry River Yacht Club (see my previous Live and Otherwise post), Mergence (who have tones reminiscent of The Black Keys, but  have their own special brand of soul that cannot be confused or misappropriated) and over 28 other bands trying to get there name out there and have a good time.

Located at the Apache Lake and Marina, camping is included with the ticket. It’s a low budget way to broaden your horizons this weekend and catch some great acts primed for national exposure. So solidify your street cred while at the same time escaping the troubles and toils of city life. Who knows it might just change your life… Or at least make the next week more enjoyable as you relive every nitty gritty musically blissed event.  Here’s some tunes from some of the participating bands to percolate those ear buds and prime them for the weekend’s festivities:

The Apache Lake Music festival is Oct. 7-9. Tickets are $30. Tickets are cash only, and purchased when you arrive. This is a two-day festival.
