Soul Asylum and Everclear in LA

If you live in Los Angeles, get yourself down to West Hollywood TONIGHT for the first-annual Sunset Strip Music Festival, featuring, among others, Soul Asylum, Everclear, and Camper Van Beethoven (the dude from Cracker's other band).

Now, correct if I'm wrong, but the Sunset Strip was the locus for late '80s glam-metal, was it not? And Soul Asylum and Everclear were not really part of that scene, being a) '90s bands, and b) from Minneapolis and Portland, respectively.

So... ?? Somebody go and tell the rest of us what it was like.
