The 13th Annual Mission Creek Music and Arts Festival is just a little over a month away, but the fest's headquarters have been mum about the full list of bands and venues that are involved this year. The Web site advertises that the organizers are still taking submissions for bands, and so far only small announcements have come out about venues and artists booked to perform.

The Knockout lists some good indie pop/indie folk/heavy rock during Mission Creek's run July 15-25.
Among the artists booked to play for the fest at the Knockout: Sonny & the Sunsets, Casual Fog, Dreamdate, Hot Lunch, Paula Frazer, Moonrats, the Botticellis, Little Wings, and Agent Ribbons. All of these shows are co-presented by SMiLE!

The Convergence portion of Mission Creek is also slated to return this year, adding an "indie-national" focus of bands. These shows will take place at the Oakland Metro Opera House, Bollyhood Café, The Blue Macaw, Mission Cultural Center for Latino Arts, and Peña Pachamama--where acts from Spain, Lebanon, and Mexico, will join their American counterparts in widening our musical borders with genres ranging from classical Middle Eastern to grunge and Brazilian tunes.

We imagine Mission Creek will have a full calendar out soon, and we'll keep you updated with the latest info on the ten-day fest.
