Bands4Bands, in association with Hayward Area Recreation and
Park District (HARD), presents “BandFest 2016” on Saturday, August 26 at
Hayward Memorial Park Amphitheater. The high-powered rock program features
local artists and bands, including Hardcore Dinosaur, Rico Macalma Ex’perience,
Razor Train, TNP (The New Position), Vigilis, Fish Sticks, and the HAARP Unit.
BandFest is presented by Bands4Bands, a nonprofit organization
whose roots go back fifteen years when “we were trying,” says founder Pete
Schaaphok, “to help with music in the schools.” Today Bands4Bands “is a
coalition of bands supporting bands by networking, information sharing, and
live performances. I haven’t really seen anything else like it,” says
Schaaphok.
Bands4Bands, besides being a support network for bands
making a living with their music, is also intensely committed to giving back to
the community it represents. The public is strongly urged to bring canned goods
to the food drive happening at the August 26 event.
The concert is sponsored by Bands4Bands, Infiniart, Music
Depot, Salvation Army, and HARD. Upcoming Bands4Bands concerts are the
MetalFest on October 14 and the Toy Drive Show happening November 18 at the
Bistro (1001 B St, Hayward). For more information, visit
