Selected for its stunning, picturesque views, Treasure Island lays just off the coast of Yerba Buena Island in the San FranciscoBay. When the festival of the same name began in 2007, it quickly became one of the premiere music events of the fall concert season thanks to its consistently fresh and exciting lineups (the festival has never repeated an act) and its intimate feel. A sellout crowd of just over 12,000 music fans per day descended on the decommissioned naval base last year to see headliners MGMT and The Flaming Lips. By splitting each day into genre-specific artists – the first day features dance/electronic artists, while the second features indie rock bands – the festival has previously hosted a wide range of acclaimed artists since its inception, including M.I.A., Modest Mouse, The Raconteurs, Justice, Spoon, Thievery Corporation, Vampire Weekend, Girl Talk, MSTRKRFT, The Decemberists and many more.
In addition to providing music lovers with the coolest artists and an incredible setting, Treasure Island Music Festival ensures that attendees never miss a note of music. With two stages that alternate between bands, rather than having them play simultaneously, concert-goers have the chance to literally hear every note of every artist for the entire weekend. When not watching bands, festival attendees can hop over to the Treasure Chest, the festival’s interactive village full of games, a live mural wall, a photo booth, local craft vendors and more. This,combined with a 60 ft. Ferris Wheel, gourmet food vendors from local San Francisco businesses, a refillable water program, and buses to and from the festival loaded with Wi-Fi make the Treasure Island Music Festival one of the most amazing and unique music experiences of the year.
This year’s logo for the Treasure Island Music Festival was designed by local San Franciscan Jeff Canham (http://www.jeffcanham.com/). Previous years logos have been supplied by Shepard Fairey, Jason Munn (of Small Stakes) and Josh Cochran.
Established in San Francisco in 1993, Noise Pop is the leading independent music festival in the Bay Area. Over the last 18 years Noise Pop has provided exposure to some of the top emerging artists, many of whom have gone on to widespread acclaim, including the White Stripes, Modest Mouse, The Flaming Lips, Death Cab for Cutie, The Shins, Bright Eyes, Fleet Foxes, Magnetic Fields and Wolfmother. In 2006 Noise Pop began expanding the scope and presence of its established brand into year-round events (including the Treasure Island Music Festival) in the Bay Area and beyond that celebrate all forms of independent culture, music, film, art and merchandise to an ever expanding community.
Since its inception in 2003, Another Planet Entertainment has produced and promoted over 1,000 events with artists as diverse as Radiohead, Dave Matthews Band, Neil Young, Daft Punk, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, Metallica and Kanye West. A Bay Area staple, Another Planet is the exclusive promoter for the Greek Theatre (Berkeley), Fox Theater (Oakland), The Independent (San Francisco) and Harvey’s Outdoor Amphitheatre (Lake Tahoe.) Another Planet also produces two major yearly festivals in San Francisco – Outside Lands Music and Arts Festival and Treasure Island Music Festival. In its first year of operation, Another Planet was selected by a vote of its concert industry peers as “Promoter of the Year” in the United States by Pollstar Magazine. In 2004 and 2005, Another Planet was pleased to be named “Independent Promoter of the Year.” In 2009 Another Planet Entertainment was named “Best Cultural Improvement” by the East Bay Express, and the Fox Theater as “Best Venue.” http://www.apeconcerts.com/

Broken Social Scene Presents Brendan Canning - “Churches Under the Stairs”
Who is Juan? We’ve only met him once, but he has a fun house. And he likes to have bands over to perform in his basement (which looks exactly like your old band from jr. high school’s “practice space”) and he films them and makes it into an awesome show on Pitchfork TV called - you guessed it - “Juan’s Basement.” Broken Social Scene stopped by said basement last fall when touring for Kevin Drew’s Spirit If… and recorded a few songs, one of which became the core of a tune called “Churches Under the Stairs,” which is on Brendan Canning’s phenomenal BSS Presents solo debut, Something For All of Us…! Say that three times fast!
Anyway, Part One of Two is up on Pitchfork TV now, so click below to watch it…
