Through some kind of epic Cocaine and Tequila-fueled bender sanctioned by Thor himself, Heavy Metal and Mariachi hooked up in Los Angeles and had a baby.  It’s not a cute baby, to say the least, but I am sure you all have seen some ugly babies in your days (don’t lie about it just because it’s your nephew or niece).  In this case, the twisted offspring is named Metalachi, and this creature/band is fused with the hair of Zeus, the trumpets of Sol de Mexico, and the heart of Ozzy.  Your jaws will drop, you might even be offended, but you will watch and listen.  They command you to.

To be honest, I don’t know how I feel about this band myself.  I only know that it captured my attention and made me curious about seeing them live.  So, I guess they win.  Check out this performance of Black Sabbath’s Crazy Train.  Only in California…

So why is Cali Green promoting this event?  First off, we know it’s going to be a sick and want to share the experience with YOU!  Second, Pacific Fest has roots in SB, as do we… some of those involved are Santa Barbara locals and dear friends so naturally we support them in any way we can.  Third, it’s all about the music!  Sneak peak into the lineup…

Day 1 (DJ / Electronic Vibe): Steve Aoki, the Sounds, Miami Horror, and more…
Day 2 (Reggae Vibe): Rebelution, the Expendables, the Aggrolites, and more…

It all goes down in Costa Mesa, CA at Triangle Square & Sutra the first weekend of September.  This is a 21+ event so remember to grow out your beards and memorize what year you graduated high school.  For more details and to purchase tickets online goto: PACIFICFESTIVAL.COM

See you next year Funky Fest!

J-Rocc, MED, Sinuous, P-able, and The Bluestpes performing at Velvet Jones!

So, the Earth Day festival in Isla Vista was a hit!  What started out as a cloudy morning turned out to be a beautiful, sunny day in IV.  Groups of people came out to support Earth Day, taking in the music and sunshine.  Cali Green was out there with some merchandise soaking up all the good vibes of the day and meeting new people.  As well as Cali Green, tons of other vendors were out raising awareness for their causes that included recycling, sustainable energy, and even solar powered backpacks.  From henna tattoos and face painting to free grapefruit sorbet and hula hooping, people were out and about enjoying themselves in the festivities.  With nothing but positivity flowing, everyone who came out ended up having a blast while supporting a great cause!
