Altamont’s Summer 2014 collection is for the free-wheeler, the journey-lover, the day-tripper. The season is for road-rambling and nature-dwelling, for recapturing childhood bliss, but with an adult twist. We captured some of that youthful whimsy in our Walle short-sleeved woven, with its printed goldfish swimming in blue fabric. With its wood-grain inspired print, the Indio short-sleeved woven is reflective of the trees out there just waiting to get lost in. Our Utility shorts feature larger pockets to hold the tools of your adventures, and the Poncho sweatshirt is the perfect lightweight item for any destination, from the beach to the desert and back again. The fabric mixes are unique yet functional and the range showcases and equal blend of rugged elements and laid-back fits all ideal for a few months of semi-directional wanderlust.
Altamont is proud to present Desert Daze Fest this Saturday!
We got the chance to ask some of our favorite bands playing the fest a few questions, starting with Cosmonauts (who play at 6:25p on the Moon Stage):
Altamont: Festivals can be magical musical wonderlands or hellish anxiety-ridden nightmares. You guys have played it before, so what makes Desert Daze the former and not the latter?
Alexander Ahmadi: The Sailor Jerry Artist Trailer duh.
Altamont: What are your festival survival must-haves?
Derek Cowart: Sunglasses.
AA: More than one t-shirt.
Altamont: What festival of the past would you most have wanted to attend and why?
DC: I would have loved to see Pavement get booed off the stage at Lollapalooza ‘95. There’s something beautiful and comforting about a great band being rejected by a bunch of meatheads.
AA: HempCon 2009. Heard it was wild.
Altamont: What other bands at Desert Daze are you most excited to see?
DC: I’m interested in seeing what Vincent Gallo is all about. More excited to see Al Lover and Froth, though.
AA: Disappears & Liars.
Altamont: Do you guys have anything special planned for your Desert Daze set? Can you give us a teaser?
DC: It’s on the 26th, right? I’ll be in my birthday suit, so there’s that.
Tix and camping passes for Desert Daze, ft. Blonde Redhead, Liars, Autolux, UMO, DIIV, and more (including apparently a nude performance by Cosmonauts) are still available HERE.
