Santa Barbara's SOUND AND FURY FESTIVAL Shut Down By Police

July 27, 2010

Kim Lamb Gregory of the Ventura County Star: A Santa Barbara concert that was canceled by Santa Barbara Sheriff's deputies migrated to Ventura County Sunday night resulting in an impromptu backyard party of 300 to 400 fans, drawing Ventura County Sheriff's deputies to the scene.

According to the Santa Barbara Sheriff's Department, a large fight broke out around 6:20 p.m. Sunday, during the third and final day of the Sound and Fury Festival at the Earl Warren Showgrounds in Santa Barbara, causing officers to shut down the concert.

Among the hardcore bands scheduled to appear were SICK OF IT ALL, TERROR, STRIFE and THIS IS HELL, according to the festival web site.

The Ventura County Sheriff’s Department learned the concert had been resurrected in Nyeland Acres when they were called to the 2600 block of Eucalyptus Street around 10:30 p.m. Sunday. Neighbors were complaining of noise and people spilling out onto the streets.
