It may be something of a well-kept secret as far north as Chico, but the 6th Annual Desert Daze in Joshua Tree in no small thing. October 13-15, attendees will be treated to a smorgasbord of rock 'n' roll delights, from iconic names like Iggy Pop, John Cale, Sleep and Spiritualized, to the toppermost of contemporary indie, i.e. Courtney Barnett, Allah-Las, Ty Segall, Ariel Pink and a loooooong list of others (You can even get a grade-A soul fix with the likes of Lee Fields and the Budos Band.) Desert Daze is the baby of Phil Pirrone, founder of Space Agency Booking and longtime stalwart of the Los Angeles psych scene, who took a little time to catch up with Jake Sprecher of KZFR in anticipation of the festival.
