Last year’s Burger a-Go-Go featured many awesome aspects, including one of the first major festivals to have a female-only lineup. While there were plans to make it an all-weekend event, the brains behind Burger Records weren’t able to pull it together in time and eventually that became the third stage of the main event. Now, with a year to flesh things out, there’s a proper pre-party in place and the lineup is quite stellar. Cults, The Coathangers, Sex Stains and the Lovely Bad Things are among the prominent names who will feature at the night before event. If you aren’t able to make it or haven’t snared Burger a-Go-Go tickets, this will provide the perfect opportunity to get a glimpse of what are the best rising female rock bands.
