Pop Music: Sunset Junction Street Fair

The Silver Lake institution of the Sunset Junction Street Fair has been in the throes of an identity crisis. Is it a vast (and expensive) event competing with other weekend-long national music fests or a locals-only celebration of Eastside culture? With this installment, the Junction seems to be leaning toward the local. The mix of old-guard punk (Bad Brains) and vintage soul (The Ohio Players) remains, but an L.A.-centric stage featuring Everest, Chief and Fitz & the Tantrums is a synopsis of the moment in L.A. rock. Sunset Junction, 3600-4400 Sunset Blvd., Silver Lake. 11 a.m. Sat.-Sun. $15-$20. (323) 661-7771.
