Anthony Kiedis Curates New College Band-Heavy Fest
Kiedis

Chili Pepper Anthony Kiedis is set to curate a new summer fest in…Pittsburgh?

The two-day New American Music Union will give attention to 15 new college bands — and other little-known acts such as the Raconteurs and Gnarls Barkley. The college acts taking part will also be judged (like “American Idol”!), with the winner given a full day of recording in a top LA studio for free. American Eagle, which is sponsoring the fest, will also promote the band’s record in their stores.

Tickets go on sale tomorrow.
