IMG BEACH BASH 2000
BEACH CONCERT BANDS

 

Recommendation

Staff recommends that the Council approve free concerts on the south side of the Pier from 4:00 PM. – 6:30 PM, June 9-10, and 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM, June 11, in conjunction with the IMG Beach Bash.

 

Background

At the March 28, 2000 meeting, Council approved Mervyn’s Beach Bash 2000, a sports and beach festival featuring professional volleyball, skateboarding, in-line skating, BMX biking, and sandcastle building on the beach. At that time, staff recommended that the request for concerts be considered at the April 27 meeting so that the line-up of performers could be finalized by IMG.

Council Members have been provided with cassettes and CD's with two songs from each of the proposed bands:

1. Joe Wood Band*
2. Red Elvises
3. Common Sense*
4. Save Ferris
5. Pseudopod
6. Royal Crown Revue (Replaces Dishwalla, as they are not available)

*Performed at last year’s Beach Bash

A cassette tape and CD is available for public review in the Community Resources Department Office, 710 Pier Avenue.

 

Analysis

IMG met with City staff to develop an operations and security plan for the event and concerts. The stage will be located at the south side of the Pier similar to The City’s "Sunset Concerts on the Beach." City staff will require IMG to provide stage security and Police will be assigned to the area for the duration of the concerts.

The Joe Wood Band and Common Sense performed at the Beach Bash last year. Biographies of those bands and each of the newly proposed bands have been included for Council review.
