A MUSICAL OASIS BETWEEN THE CITIES OF LA AND SD: WHY THE T-TOWN SCENE IS SO IMPORTANT
June 29, 2007 by PT Rothschild.
Temecula, CA – As a witness to the birth of a ‘scene’ here in T-town, the recent outbreak of the new music culture happening here, as lately seen by the Link’s Hip-Hop Workshop featuring LA’s DJ Wise and Power106 battle champion, Hawthorne’s own RedCloud (7/29 @ Temeku Theatre #7 FREE show), and the growing list of restaurants in the area presenting live music, only proves what I’ve known for a long while. This area which lies between San Diego and Los Angeles/Hollywood has a raw energy that is conducive to making music as well as listening to it. For years wannabe footstompers and line dancers have trudged down from Beverly Hills to T-town’s The Stampede to work up a sweat Richard Simmons would be proud of. Why come down here when so much entertainment is at hand up in LA.
