August 20 – Deerhoof – The Great Hall
This coming weekend is Camp Wavelength and this year the Wavelength crew are trying out a different version of their camp, “day camp in the city”. There will be shows in parks and different venues around town. We definitely recommend seeing Deerhoof who is the festival closer on Sunday night at the Great Hall as the festival closer.
