We got word from Buskerfest organizer Justin Hectus today that two previously scheduled bands, Free Moral Agents and Deep Sea Diver, both had to cancel–FMA due to a family illness, and Deep Sea Diver because of another commitment. Hectus describes both bands, key parts of the Long Beach music scene, as “genuinely bummed to have to miss the event.”
But, as we all know by now, whenever gig God closes a door, he opens a window: in their place are two more cool Long Beach bands, Avi Buffalo and Eugene and the 1914. Buskerfest is this Friday in Long Beach's East Village, it's free, and starts at 7 p.m. Cold War Kids headline at 9:30.
