Presented by San Diego radio station 91X, the festival brought together established national artists and emerging talent for an afternoon and evening of live music at Coors Amphitheatre in Chula Vista, California.

MIX MOB’s appearance came during an important year for the band, coinciding with the release of their debut album, So Cal Drunks, on Suburban Noize Records. Their single “Cruizer Love” was also gaining recognition on San Diego radio, ultimately reaching No. 35 on 91X’s Top 91 Songs of 2002.
