The popular Santamania music-a-thon returns Dec. 13-15 to Northside Yacht Club (4227 Spring Grove Ave., Northside, northsideyachtclub.com). Other than the name and being timed to the holidays (and probably a few boozed up Kris Kringles running around the joint), the three-day fest isn’t explicitly a Christmas-themed event, but with nearly 100 acts performing on five stages it's like a three-day Christmas morning for local fans of Punk, Hardcore, Metal, Rock, Indie and more.
Among the many local acts performing throughout the long weekend (some touring/regional bands will also play): Tweens; The Harlequins; Vacation; Mr. Phylzzz; The Dopamines; Mr. Dibbs; Fleshmother, Newport Secret Six; Lung; Slutbomb; Cold Stereo; Casteless; Smut; Casino Warrior; Pout; Lashes; and Pop Empire.
Yacht Club co-founder (and DAAP Girls/Lions Rampant/Cincinnati Royals member) Stuart MacKenzie announced on Dec. 8 that there would be a special Lions Rampant/Cincinnati Royals combo performance at Santamania on Friday, Dec. 13.
Music begins at 4 p.m on Dec. 13 and 14 and 2 p.m. on Dec. 15. Cover charge is $10 each day.
Find the full schedule below, as taken from the Santamania Facebook event page, where you'll find the latest updates and links to check out music from all of the artists.
