El Perro del Mar, Vetiver Play Solid Music Fest

Plus Final Fantasy, Quintron & Miss Pussycat
El Perro del Mar, Vetiver Play Solid Music Fest Not all good festivals happen in outdoor parks in the summertime. Some happen in Turkish wedding halls in Germany in the fall, like the first-ever Solid Arts and Music Festival.

Featuring music from Final Fantasy, Vetiver, El Perro del Mar, Quintron and Miss Pussycat, XBXRX, Adem, and more, the two-day event also includes an art exhibition, poetry, and performance.

"We started this spring to curate two evenings of music in a Turkish wedding hall...in Berlin Kreuzberg," the festival coordinators explained, "Why? Because we were bored, seriously. In the beginning it was just about two evenings of music we love-- challenging, interesting, passionate artists from all over the place. And then we also started to invite artists for a little exhibition in the venue nearby...and a little beautiful thing started."

The little beautiful thing takes place September 29 and 30 at Festsaal-Kreuzberg and the West Germany Gallery.
