tl;dr
Looking forward to Art Brut.
of those 80 bands, i think theres 3 maybe 4 i’d want to see. thats quite an impressively shitty line up. so, yes, i will not be attending this.
Juiceboxxx will bring the fucking ruckus as always - the most hype show ever 2 years ago - I hope he brings the dj who killed on guitar at the end of his set at the stick.
Sex ghost is always a bonus
FOUR DAYS of live music, including a number of national acts, FOR TWENTY DOLLARS … and you bitches are still complaining?
Tell your mom to switch your laundry over, because even you whiners have to admit (albeit privately, we wouldn’t want anyone to think you LIKED music) that this is going to be a good time.
fuckn a batman, this is sweetness
This rules
Agreed this will be sweet
I heard a rumor that all TBA slots will be filled by The Dead Bodies, except for Sunday at 8:45. That slot will go to Benny Mardones.
the acronym for the Dead Bodies is TDB, not TBA. just saying…
shame on tha bodies that try ta run game on the bodies.
it’d be nice if there were more national acts. thunderbirds are now don’t count. the past mon-wed at the majestic complex had more impressive out of town bands.
still though, 20 bucks is good and im sure this will be fun.
this will be fun.
looks like a good time to me.
Looking forward to it
I heard all the empty spots will be filled by the Dead Bodhi’s performing selections from Point Break…. actually the Dead Buseys would have been a better name…. shit, too late to change it now.
“of those 80 bands, i think theres 3 maybe 4 i’d want to see. thats quite an impressively shitty line up. so, yes, i will not be attending this”
So you’ve heard all 80 bands? Impressive
That person said “see” not “hear,” which implies that 76 or 77 out of those 80 bands are not physically appealing to the eyes.
I’m going to go ahead and agree with Anonymous #1, but I will be attending anyway.
quit being such a pussy and take a chance on things you don’t know about
marco polio is playing a TBA slot sunday.
and yeah, this’ll be ‘fucking awesome’.
fest.
you know what would make this fucking awesome? if girls flashed the bands. like the used to in the 70’s and 80’s. like they used to do to Aerosmith. i don’t care who i’m listening to as long as i get to see boobs. girls’ boobs.
I think it’s going to be fun.
TITS OR GTFO
You guys do yourself a favor and go see javelins
The reason i am in a band is to get into events like this for free. It should be awesome.
Man, this is cool! This gonna be fun and exciting for sure. Thanks for posting this blog.
