Not the celestial kind. Rock the Plaza is making its 2009 debut on Friday August 14 at Plaza Park with the band Total Eclipse, performing classics from the 1970's and 1980's. This is a great opportunity to come together with friends, neighbors and co-workers, plop down on the grass, enjoy some great music, share a bite to eat and reminisce about the return of fashionable checkerboard Vans sneakers. Songs like "Brown Eyed Girl and "Bad Case (of lovin' you)" never go out of style, and who knew the sneakers would be trendy once again for the younger set. Maybe everything old really is new again.
The following Friday, August 21, will feature the ever popular Spazmatics "Nerds that rock." Closing the series on August 28 is The Synthetics.
For the first time ever, a very special, very mysterious (read: we couldn't find out who) local teen band will be performing at 5:30, prior to the headliner at 6:00. Hungry listeners can pack a picnic or pick up some delicious food and drink from the Lafayette Rotary Club on site.
These three free concerts are sponsored by The Chamber of Commerce, the City of Lafayette and Red House Studios, Cedric Chang Design, Minuteman Press of Lafayette and others.
