Sooooo...We finally may know why the Desert Daze Pappy's never happened, and why the fest was abruptly relocated back to the Lake. Check it:
The iconic Mojave Desert music venue, Pappy + Harriet, is currently involved in an ongoing legal dispute between ex-partners who purchased the venue in 2021 and its investment group. The ex-partners of the restaurant and concert venue, JB Moresco and Lisa Elin, are being sued for allegedly seizing the business from an investment group.
After reviewing a set of emails, Billboard reported that Moresco had allegedly solicited a $2.5 million investment from Morgan Margolis’ Knitting Factory Entertainment, and bought a stake in the venue – gaining exclusive rights to Pappy + Harriet. Two months later, Margolis allegedly seized the property for himself and canceled a concert series, Desert Daze Deconstructed, that was previously booked for the venue.
Here is an excerpt from a Billboard article on this legal mess...If true, wow what a total fucking shitshow. I feel so bad for Phil & Co., since this appears to be a backstab to him and Knitting Factory. And my ass will be at Pappy's this weekend for the Osees show, but I wonder when and how this will all be settled:
"JB Moresco and Lisa Elin, a Los Angeles couple managing the iconic restaurant, bar and concert venue since April 2021, are being accused of illegally seizing the business from an investment group two months after investors funded the purchase. Attorneys for the group, led by Knitting Factory Entertainment CEO Morgan Margolis, filed a nine-count lawsuit in June 2021 against the couple, alleging Moresco concocted a fake crisis involving Pappy + Harriets’ outdoor concert permit and falsely claimed his role managing the restaurant side of the venue gave him veto power over the concert calendar.
According to emails reviewed by Billboard, Moresco solicited a $2.5 million investment from Margolis’ group to buy a controlling stake in Pappy + Harriet’s, which included exclusive rights to book the venue, then seized the property for himself two months later and canceled a concert series Margolis had booked for the venue.
The series in question, Desert Daze Deconstructed, was to be a new format for the Desert Daze festival, which Margolis and festival founder Phil Pirrone had partnered on since 2016. Margolis had booked the series at the venue prior to the acquisition to include 21 shows, spread out through October and November 2021. War On Drugs, Primus, Ty Segall and Courtney Barnett were all set to perform. On June 15, the day before tickets went on sale, Moresco emailed Margolis and said he was canceling the series, claiming it violated Pappy + Harriet’s’ permit for outdoor concerts. He then ordered Margolis to immediately fire Pirrone from his new role as talent buyer for Pappy + Harriet’s and amended Margolis’ own exclusive talent buying agreement from 10 years down to one.
This came as a shock to Margolis, whose investment group had put up the $2.5 million to purchase the venue just two months earlier. That deal included a term sheet that Moresco signed acknowledging that Margolis and the investors held majority control of Pappy + Harriet’s — not Moresco and Elin. On June 18, three days after the festival showdown, investors voted to officially fire the couple as the venue’s managers and cancel their restaurant management contract. But over the past nine months, the couple have refused to leave the restaurant property, while allegedly locking the investors out of the venue’s business accounts and canceling Margolis’ remaining concert bookings at the venue."

Honestly, I'm glad they did the small version last year. It really didn't feel like it was that much of a compromise since I wanted to see just about everyone on the lineup. I probably wouldn't have bothered with the pappy's shows since I was traveling

same here. I don't even live that far away but driving back and forth on a weeknight didn't sound like something I would have done more than once or twice.
I'm a longtime Built to Spill fan and love their records but the last few times I've seen them, Doug's voice has been so fried that it's kind of painful to watch. His guitar work is still great and my hope is he'll get someone else to handle vocals.

that's a real shame. I haven't seen them since around 2008/2009.
Didn't realize that kraftwerk is touring this year... Ends in July though.
Shrine Auditorium July 5. Saw their 3D show twice in 2014 and it’s incredible. Would be great for DD, but I think Shrine is your best chance to catch it.

I also somehow missed that they're doing the 3d show at red rocks. I'm missing a lot of things these days. I blame the inforoo color scheme

I finally convinced a friend to get their Early Bird ticket aaaaaaand it ended. I assume 4/1 was the cutoff because I swear I saw it on the website last week.

I had no idea they were still for sale, I figured then ended in January.

I had not seen the April 1st cut-off date, but like others was very surprised that the pre-sale was open for 3+ months.
I really hope we start getting some hints soon about who is playing, and then get at least a Phase 1 announcement right after Coachella ends.
