At just before 8 a.m. on Feb. 19, Bunbury Music Festival founder Bill Donabedian announced much of the festival’s sophomore year lineup on Fox19’s morning show. The fest returns to Sawyer Point Park July 12-14. Big names coming to the riverfront this year include fun., Tegan and Sara, MGMT, Belle and Sebastian and Yo La Tengo.    

It’s a lazy, scorching Sunday in Northside. At Sidewinder Café, out back, the pet bunny takes a dirt bath in the shade, trying to cool down. Musicians, strangeness, sweat and cut-off jeans shorts are all around. Back inside, Nick Mitchell, singer and synth player for eccentric newcomers Revenge Piñata, leans against a brick wall and prepares to tell me about his latest band project and its debut release.
