Temecula, California – The Director and Founder of the Temecula Music Fest, Bill Gould, announced today that the line up for the 4^th annual Temecula Music Fest is in place and features the most diverse range of performers in the history of the festival. This year’s event will also feature artists, vendors, food and bowling, live and on a wide screen Nintendo Wii system, courtesy of Brunswick Cal Oaks Bowl!

Each day of the festival will also raise funds for 3 different local Non-Profit groups in the Temecula Valley. On Friday, Oak Grove Center in Murrieta, a school for education treatment and the arts will be our featured Non-Profit. Saturday a portion of proceeds will go to S.A.F.E. (Safe Alternatives For Everyone), a local group working to end family violence. Our Sunday our beneficiary will be the Arts Council of Temecula Valley, a group dedicated to preserving the arts and education children in the various disciplines of the arts.

“We are thrilled beyond compare with the way this year’s event has come together. There is such a diverse group of bands playing, along with the artists – this is the biggest and best year we have ever planned!” said Bill Gould, festival Director.

This year’s festival will feature over 35 bands and acoustic performers, multiple different visual artists and vendors.

Amazing bands Cetas Aspire, Jupiter, Robert Holts Orchestra, Guilty Conscience, Starving for Gravity, Opus Humanus and Peachcake will be this years headliners. For a full list of performers visit http://www.TemeculaMusicFest.com, as well you can find a couple of different versions of our festival flyers, venue and ticket info.

“Later this week we will have links to all the bands websites or myspace pages and short bios on our website, TemeculaMusicFest.com; we want you to interact with the bands and really be a part of a special event!” explained Gould, “We are taking this to a whole new level and will hold a ‘Media Day’ at Bob’s Murrieta Pizza on May 15 so the media and fans can come and meet all of the bands, take pictures and really get a feel for what this year is all about.”

The featured Artists will be Xavier Bellante, Todd Sanders and Gerald Clarke. Each artist will be displaying his works and there will be live demonstrations and ‘performance art’ that you can watch.

“There will be some very experimental art and visual concepts in play. Some you will see, some you will touch and some you will watch; come with an open mind and let the art expand your musical horizons” Gould further explained.

Vendors and Non-Profits will be at the festival all three days; there will also be panel discussions with members of the local and regional music community, teaching bands how to further their music career.

Volunteers are still needed for the festival, positions range from stage help to back stage monitors to ushers and parking lot attendants. There are also a couple of vendor spots still available; information can be found at http://www.TemeculaMusicFest.com, by email at info@temeculamusicfest.com or by phone at 951-491-9053.

ANNUAL EVENT CO-HOSTED BY TEMECULA ‘FOOD NOT BOMBS’ GROUP

Temecula, CA, - T-town will take part in the global celebration known as Earth Day, tomorrow on Tuesday (4/22) at the duck pond close to Pat & Oscars (Rancho Cal & Ynez Road), starting at 3pm. There will be free vegetarian food, literature to cover a wide range of global ills and what you can do for your part, a group bike ride, and workshops on do-it-yourself alternatives to pollution and waste.


Earth Day was started because we need to take care of our planet, as we have a finite amount of water and clean air for us all to survive on. In order to change the world, we need to change ourselves and our habits. The whole recycle mindset and industry came from Earth Day and now with gasoline at $4 a gallon, the occupation (renamed a ‘war’ by promoters of it) draining and collapsing the economy, and the rising energy costs always associated with California’s summer months, it is imperative now more than ever to make your presence felt and mind available to the alternative standards of living together on this planet that support peaceful co-existence rather than the usual ‘I want it all and I want it now’ intellect that invades the media airwaves in ad after ad between the latest fluff piece about Brittany Spears.

Hosted by Anarcat Collective and the Temecula branch of Food Not Bombs, these organizations feature a number of familiar faces from the now defunct new music ‘scene’ and show the depth of what the cities shut down in favor of alcohol and money. Food Not Bombs is one of the fastest growing revolutionary movements active today. The first group was formed in Cambridge, Mass, in 1980, by anti-nuclear activists.

FNB is an all volunteer organization dedicated to nonviolence, and recovers food that would otherwise be thrown out to makes hot, fresh vegetarian meals that are served in city parks to anyone without restriction.

“We hope you will join us in taking direct action towards creating a world free from domination, political coercion, and violence.”
