Tee Pee Records owner Tony Presedo (T.P.? Get it?) couldn't figure out just why every band he was signing hailed from California. Is it the permanent sunshine, the tasty waves, or the relative ubiquity of hydroponically-grown marijuana that forces all the heaviness into the Golden State's rock?

Who knows, dude, but a whole lot of California stoners and their crews will converge on Los Angeles's Safari Sam's August 3 for Manifest Destiny, a throwback megashow organized by Tee Pee and featuring Earthless, Titan, RTX, Entrance, the Assemble Head in Sunburst Sound, Astra, and Magic Lantern. So basically a whole bunch of dope-rockers will spend a whole day dropping D, fuzzing their bass, and hotboxing. Hotboxing what, you ask? Well, whatcha got?
