SoCal native Donavon Frankenreiter is scheduled to play Catalina.com and KROQ's ROQ N' SURF summer concerts series on the water. 
Pepper, rock n' rhythm roots band, will headline the first date, Saturday, June 16, with support from Long Beach-based singer songwriter, Josh Fischel, and The Fiction.
The Downey-born Frankenreiter, who will play Friday, August 17, initially gained recognition as a surfer. After signing a sponsorship deal with Billabong, he often traveled to Hawaii, where he rented a room from Jack Johnson's parents.

So I've heard some talk around the water cooler that Coachella has become too big. Too commercial. Too KROQ-ey. Really? No Gerard Way.Two Weeknds? That $h!# cray. Nevertheless, the Chelly will welcome its usual cast of characters: the Bro Montegnas, the Hairy Potters, the Cloney Deschanels, and all the new Cherry Poppin Babies, welcome all. But I could care less who you are and why you're there, just as long as you follow the creed: "Pick your poison, choose your own adventure, party hard with arms wide open." Just remember to be a gentleman if you see a lady in the moshpit, or in need of water.
But being that this year is the end of all existence (says a Mayan named Bialik and John Cusack's furrowed forehead), I'm attending for one reason alone. My Coachella experience will be summed up in a single moment that I've been waiting my whole life for...to sing like a blubbering idiot while pogo-ing up and down to the chorus of "Disco 2000" by Pulp. C'mon and join me in the Pulpit and we'll do our funny little dance, and sing it all together in fucking brotherly loving unison: "Lets all meet up in the year 2000.." (See Disco 2000 below for lyrics)
If you're not a Pulp fan, don't Keith Sweat it. But its quite possible you may have been suffering from an overdosage of Foo Fighters and Wiz Khalifa lately. Your prescription: swallow these 10 songs with a full pint of lager. Along with some of the wittiest dialogue and storytelling you ever heard in a pop song. Repeat 2-3 times daily until you reach desired effect. Results may vary.
This is Pulp. Ten of their very best, with many more waiting to be undressed. A beginner's guide. A Britpop lovers' rekindled candlelight--it's fantastic, a woozy roller coaster ride. Don't be afraid of the voice you are about to indulge in; his name is Jarvis Cocker. lead singer and lyricist. Soft spoken, hardcore, romantic. A debauchateur, a thinking hermaphrodite's sex symbol. He is a genius.
