  Aug 5, 202655 min

  It was the first Women's Music Festival in Bakersfield. The year was 1984. Performers included Buck Owens protege Susan Raye, Festival Organizer and Emcee Colette Shewcraft, Tracy Waddell and Sylvia Simms. For two years this was a benefit concert organized by the group Bakersfield Women and raised money for organizations that helped women in need. I interviewed Colette, Sylvia, and Gloria Dumler who were all instrumental in the Bakersfield Women’s Music Festival and who were activists for Gay Rights and Women's Rights.

  The Montereys released the 45 single Darlin (Send Me a Letter)/ Darlin (I Love You So) in 1962. It was released on the label Trans-American which was owned by movie star Aki Aleong. The lead singer was Manuel Cañez along with Tom Rey, Tom Lopez, and Santos Cepeda. The record is not extremely rare and sought after. I interviewed Santos Cepeda about his time in the band and recording this record.

Back in 2005, they were the flagship band of the Munoz Boxing Gym home to other legendary Bakersfield bands like The Pine and The Contaminators. They take the feeling of growing up in Bakersfield in the early 2000s and distill it into 2 minutes of punk-infused Melodic hardcore. </p><p>The lineup for most of the records was Steven, Bill, Bobby and Reuben.
