From Los Angeles Times:
16 Bands Will Be On ‘Board’ for Daylong Fest in May
BY MIKE BOEHM MARCH 8, 1995
In what could be the biggest concert ever built primarily around talent from the local punk and alternative rock scene, 16 bands will play a daylong outdoor concert May 6 at the UC Irvine Athletic Field.
The festival, dubbed “Board in Orange County,” is topped by Social Distortion, Face to Face, No Doubt and Sublime. Tickets, $15, go on sale Saturday at 10 a.m. through Ticketmaster.
“We’ve never done anything that big” in Orange County, said Paul Tollett, a partner in promoter Goldenvoice. “A lot of these bands are big now, and they all happen to be available at the same time. We thought it would be fun to put a big show together.”
The festival will also have a skate- and snow-boarding theme, with professional exhibits on view from noon to 10 p.m.
Nine bands in the all-California lineup are primarily identified with the local rock scene, while the rest hail from Los Angeles, San Diego, Victorville and Berkeley.
The full lineup: Social Distortion (O.C.), Face to Face (Victorville), No Doubt (O.C.), Sublime (Long Beach), Guttermouth (O.C.), the Vandals (O.C.), the Joykiller (O.C./Long Beach), Fluf (San Diego/O.C.), Dance Hall Crashers (Berkeley), Unwritten Law (San Diego), Excel (L.A.), Dime Store Hoods (San Pedro), the Grabbers (O.C.), FYP (South Bay), Lidsville (O.C.) and Further (L.A.).

Fun Facts:
*In the intro for “Call You” Matt Wong actually talks into the mic, very rare!
* This is before Scott Klopfenstein officially became a vocalist in the band. (You’ll see him singing in his horn mic now and then but at the time Matt Wong handled most backing vocals)
*All that stuff they are throwing around during “Nothin’” are tortillas somebody threw onstage from the crowd
*Our album “Everything Sucks” had just come out the day before
