#REM 30 years ago, September 1996πŸ‘‡

Have a great Monday!
πŸ“ŒπŸŽΈ There are many alternative music festivals around the world, often they're far better than the mainstream ones!

In Edmonton, Alberta, #Canada πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ there's the Purple City Fest, held in multiple downtown venues.

The name Purple City comes from a ritualistic tradition of the local youth culture: they visit the Alberta Legislature Building at night to stare into the floodlights. After about a minute of exposure, the light makes all the surroundings appear purple 😈

#NumaEchos, Venice dark lady, will play this festival next Sunday 13 September πŸ–€
πŸ“ŒπŸŽΈπŸ‘‰ Al Vapore is possibly the most famous and enduring live music club in Venice area.
Located in #Marghera, opened in 1986, it's celebrating 40 years!
They've hosted uncountable Rock, Blues, Jazz concerts of local, Italian and international artists.

The amazing local band πŸ‘‰ The Mayor Is Stoned is playing there next Sunday, 13 September.
If you like Psychedelic Jazz Rock vibes you don't want to miss them🀘
