SPEAKEASY STAGE
Presented by Grillo's Pickles
Offering a unique opportunity to experience rock legends and Southern California punk staples performing reimagined stripped-down versions from their catalogs, SpeakEasy is an intimate experience that can only be found at BeachLife’s signature laid-back, oceanfront setting. DMC World Champion Mix Master Mike of the Beastie Boys, Jen Pop of The Bombpops, Warren Fitzgerald of The Vandals, Scott Reynolds of ALL, Chase Petra, and Kevin Seconds of 7 Seconds, among others, will take the stage.
The SpeakEasy Stage, presented by Grillo's Pickles, is developed by BeachLife Creative Director Jim Lindberg. Lindberg, a pioneer of the West Coast punk scene as frontman for Hermosa Beach-based group Pennywise, conceptualized SpeakEasy to integrate some of LA’s hardcore spirit with the easygoing nature of the festival.
“When Grillo’s first started selling pickles on the streets of Boston out of a hand built wooden pickle cart, we already had that DIY mentality. We would show up at skate shops, basement shows and hook our friends up with pickles when they were on tour visiting Boston. We’ve sponsored tours early on with bands like Title Fight and Bane. Since day one we’ve been involved within subcultures like punk rock and skateboarding and it’s great to know that 16 years later this is still part of the DNA of our brand. We can’t wait to chill out and eat pickles with you at the Speakeasy Stage with SoCal legends that I grew up listening to.”
