RANCHITA ROCKS IS BACK AND GOING GREEN! September 12th, 13th, 14th 2008 High desert camping experience featuring rock legends & contemporary icons Ranchita CA. The second annual music festival benefit concert for Protect Our Communities Fund (POC) will rock Ranchita in September. Tickets for all thee days, including camping and parking, will be $135.00. Early birds can order tickets online, www.ranchitarocks.org until May 20th for only $85.00. POC has been fighting to preserve San Diego County from being trampled by SDG&E’s ill-conceived Sunrise Powerlink project for over two years. This is POC’s only fundraiser and 100% of the profits will be used in the fight. Headliners this year include Younder Mountain String Band, edgy bluegrass string jammers who headline major festivals throughout the nation, Bassnectar, San Francisco’s favorite DJ and a staple at all major festivals, and Mountain featuring legends Leslie West and Corky Laing, founding fathers of the festival scene including Woodstock 1969, now featured in the video game Guitar Hero with their hit “Mississippi Queen.” While the lineup is not complete, many favorites from last year are returning, including: Weapon of Choice, Interstate Blues, Vegitation, Tom Fruend, Mojow & the Vibration Army, Chi Club, Haywire, Blackbirdz, Grand Canyon Sundown, Stolen Rose, Glenn Smith, Red Warrior Drum Group, Dope Girl, Cheap Thrills, “The Funny Bunny” Julie McCollough and comedian Adam Hunter. A popular LA band, Cubensis, will also be on hand. Ranchita Rocks 2008 is going green! Solar, biodiesel and wind will supply the energy for the event. This environmental statement will make Ranchita Rocks possibly the first all green music festival. “We strongly believe that energy does not have to be imported over dangerous high voltage transmission lines and that renewable energy should be produced locally, for local consumption,” states Carolyn Morrow who hosts the event on her 160 acre ranch. Nestled in the high desert, Ranchita overlooks Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, about 20 miles to the East. If SDG&E wins, over 20 miles of the Park will be commercialized and over 600,000 acres of view shed will be lost. Come to Ranchita Rocks and enjoy 3 days of nature, music, love and fun in the sun – learn how valuable a resource POC is fighting for.
