I'm really stupid if I don't go to the Offset Fest:

Then go, young Inder.

[tepista]

THE STRANGE DEATH OF LIBERAL ENGLAND
THE VICTORIAN ENGLISH GENTLEMENS CLUB

too many syllables.

[Wolter]

THE STRANGE DEATH OF LIBERAL ENGLAND
THE VICTORIAN ENGLISH GENTLEMENS CLUB

too many syllables.

I bet there are at least 3 ironic moustaches worn between the two bands. Maybe more.

[Inder]

Usually, they just share the one.

[Wolter]

Usually, they just share the one.

That's so ironic it might actually be meta.

[Inder]

hypermeta.

Definitely. Wire and Gang of Four on back-to-back days? There's a distinct possibility that you'll never see either of those bands ever again. Sell your sweet ass on the mean streets if you need to raise the funds.

Sell your sweet ass on the mean streets if you need to raise the funds.

Or sell severed dog heads to Russians.

Sell your sweet ass on the mean streets if you need to raise the funds.

Or sell severed dog heads to Russians.

Or do both.

Binary thinking will kill us all...

Anyone going to (been to) one this year??


Seattle's Bumbershoot festival is coming up on Labor Day weekend (first weekend in Sept), and I'm really excited... Had a blast last year (part of the time by myself, even), and looking forward to another great time this year.

Band of Horses and !!! are the two I think I'm most looking forward to this year... And a whole host of other bands I'll be catching, hopefully.

You like Band of Horses and Spoon (from another thread)! Two great bands I never hear anyone talk about. Ace Kokey, Ace!

Hey thanks. :D
Figured they were a bit to "Indie" for anyone here to like --- I've eclectic taste in music.

BOH were fantastic when I saw them live last year.... Plus, I always feel like I'm taking a trip back to my childhood, when my dad listened to all those late-70s be-facial-haired bands...

How do you feel about these ones? (Gonna try to see them at Bumbershoot, too):
Tapes n Tapes
Throw Me the Statue
Bedouin Soundclash

Love Silversun Pickups live.... And the drummer is hilarious to watch. Drums with his entire body.

If I were you I'd leave after the Weakerthans and leave a huge bomb on the festival site.

The Cribs only have two good songs, but Ryan Jarman is hilarious.
