Janelle Monae at the All Shook Down festival.

​Perfect beer-drinking weather, a roster of cutting-edge artists, and a parrot wearing a jacket combined to make SF Weekly's first All Shook Down Music Festival a roaring success last weekend. Large crowds mingled in the streets of North Beach to hear acts like Forrest Day, Janelle Monae and Neon Indian, whose frontman Alan Palomo provided the festival's stylistic high point when a helpful fan put a parrot adorned in a turquoise smoking jacket on his shoulder. Only in San Francisco, indeed.
