This last weekend marked one of San Francisco’s most infamous celebrations: Folsom Street Fair. The event, which draws over 400,000 visitors each, has in recent years invited relatively big names in the electro-pop music scene to perform for the crowd of leather and kink enthusiasts. This year Hercules and Love Affair had a DJ set and Miami Horror performed live at the mainstage of the sexually explicit SoMa enclave.

It was last year, however, that Folsom really broke through as a must-go-to event for live music fans in San Francisco with performances by Little Boots and Ladyhawke (video above).  I even interviewed Ladyhawke about her Folsom show for Rolling Stone‘s fashion blog days prior to her performance. And I was there, front row, when she performed.
