The lineup for the 30th annual Sunset Junction Fair, produced by Silver Lake business owner Michael McKinley, was announced Wednesday. The five stages will present plenty of local talent but so far, the festival is curiously bereft of the marquee names of the past -- Beck, X, Lucinda Williams, Sonic Youth -- that made the festival a citywide destination. On the new, “locals only” stage presented by The Fold, which books acts at Silverlake Lounge, the Bootleg Theater and other neighborhood clubs, the bands will include: Leslie and the Badgers, the Deadly Syndrome, the Crystal Antlers, Sam Sparro and Pollyn. On other stages, we’ve got Fitz and the Tantrums, Mayer Hawthorne, Lee Scratch Perry, Dam-Funk, and Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros. And some special highlights: Bad Brains, Ghostland Observatory (who will snazz up the proceedings with a laser light show) and a Miles Davis tribute based around remixing his seminal double album, “Bitches Brew.”

In terms of tapping into the zeitgeist of young, hip Silver Lake bands, the Silver Lake Jubilee, held earlier in the year, seems to have stolen some of the fair’s thunder, though it also didn’t really feature any band you couldn’t see in an average month at Spaceland or the Echo.
