Beer on the Pier!

The Anacortes Chamber of Commerce kicks off an inaugural beer festival on Saturday, October 9 from 12:00-6:00 p.m. at the Port Warehouse in Anacortes. Anacortes Oktoberfest – “Beer on the Pier” – the event promises to be a highlight for beer lovers. The $20 entry fee entitles attendees to six pours; additional pours may be purchased for $1.50 each. The event will also feature live music and a variety of food vendors. For those staying over, there will be a number of local events on Saturday evening.

Event co-organizer Rick Star of Rockfish Grill/Anacortes Brewery stated: “Through our business, we attend many beer festivals throughout the Northwest each year. Our goal with the Anacortes Oktoberfest was to take the best elements of each, provide patrons with a host of choices, and build the event into an enjoyable experience for brewers and attendees alike. Gauged by brewery participation, the event will be the largest Oktoberfest in Washington State, providing event-goers with an opportunity to meet-and-greet brewers from throughout the Pacific Northwest. We look forward to building a wonderful recurring festival-one that people will want to return to year after year.”

The Sky Drops are just what you want to hear right now. -Cissy-

The Sky Drops are gaze-grunge duo Rob Montejo and Monika Bullette. This Delaware twosome unearths an ocean-size of sound — a superforce of guitar, drums and vocals. “What a Loveless-era My Bloody Valentine kicking Elliot Smith from his grave would sound like (with a twist of lemon).” – Andrew – fan of The Sky Drops

Rob Montejo’s previous band Smashing Orange was one of the original American shoegaze bands, peers of Lush, Ride, and Swervedriver. Smashing Orange released 4 records and 2 singles (including UK releases), toured the USA, UK and Europe, and were signed to MCA Records. Monika Bullette sang in the alternative band NERO, drummed for Licorice Roots, and was one of the first musicians to capture the power of the Internet by releasing the Bullette debut album “The Secrets” on the web in 2005.

The Sky Drops recorded their debut five song EP Clouds of People in Rob’s studio. It was self-released under Fridabear Records in 2006 to critical praise. “The fuzz rock anthem “Now Would Be”, the sublime “Hang On”, and the pop stunner “The Go Go Go” are among the best tunes you’re likely to hear this year.” – The Big Takeover

Rob and Monika have taken their moody sonic maelstrom throughout the USA and UK to rapt audiences. Self-managed and self-booked, they have played with Cold War Kids, Chairlift, The Dirty Projectors, A Place to Bury Strangers, and Spindrift, amongst many. Their DIY ethic has taken them to tour the UK in 2006 and twice to California in 2007 (including a performance at the Clean Air, Clear Stars Festival). They frequently packed up the Volvo wagon to tour throughout the Midwest and East Coast.

The Sky Drops are now on the road with plans to tour worldwide.
