Asian Rock Fest (ARF) returns the San Francisco Bay Area. This year, the concert takes place in Berkeley, California on Friday July 13, 2012. There will be ass-kicking bands from all over the west coast as well as phenomenal solo artists. The show’s annual music festival showcases the best of Asian American bands and artists. Started in 2004, Asian Rock Fest has brought together dozens of amazing bands from all across America, and hosted festivals from NYC to SF. Get ready to rock the night away with this 2012 lineup that includes:
(08:00) Surprise Guest!
(08:20) Golda + The Guns – Oakland, CA

This all-ages event will be for the very first time absolutely FREE to everyone because the organizers have generously donated all the money it takes to rent the space and run the show. All that’s left is to donate a few buck to the artists. Don’t let them go home empty handed after entertaining you all night! Donate here. The donation break down will be 20% of donation for each band (60%), 10% of donation for each solo artist (30%), and the last 10% go towards the flyers we have to print.
It all goes down on July 13, 2012 at the La Peña Cultural Center (3105 Shattuck Ave., Berkeley, CA).
