Southern Lord: Power of the Riff 2011 Mix Tape

. . .

Southern Lord is putting on The Power of the Riff festival again, this year in three cities.

Los Angeles will have a day-long festival (Pentagram headlining), while San Francisco and Seattle get two smaller dates each (Winter and Pentagram headlining SF, Winter and From Ashes Rise headlining Seattle).

Southern Lord has foregone the corporate sponsorship (Converse, Scion) that made last year’s fest free. However, given the quantity and quality of bands, not to mention the rarity of some of their appearances (Winter, Noothgrush), this year’s ticket prices are reasonable.

Below are the lineups. City of Devils is giving away Los Angeles tickets here.
