Michael Franti and Spearhead will perform a gig on the streets of San Francisco as part of a new TV network launch on Monday. The INdTV ‘Take Back Your TV’ celebration will take place on King St. on April 4 from 6-8:30PM. The event also will feature appearances by Mos Def, DJ AM and the Crown City Rockers. Franti and his bandmates have many plane hours ahead of them prior to the gig as Spearhead just wrapped up two dates at the East Coast Blues and Roots Festival in Byron Bay, Australia.

Today we look back to March 30, 2003.
