$90, man. it is definitely starting to get to the upper reaches of what i’m willing to spend. considering that i end up hanging out with friends in the shade because i never want to see any of the bands and this is starting to turn into a marginally expensive weekend in the park
2 predictions that i actually wouldn’t mind seeing…surfer blood and soft pack. it seems like early 90′s guitar driven indie rock is becoming in vogue again and with pavement reunited maybe these kids will get slots early in the day. both are quite buzzy right now.
and i hope to hell phoenix does not because the more i hear that band the more i want to rip my ears off.
I keep hearing Phoenix will be al Lollapalooza this year, so P4k maybe out of the picture. Also, I’m just hoping for something heavy. I know they had Mastodon play a few years back, and in 08 I saw Boris. Unfortunately, Boris blew their bass amp after 17 minutes cutting their set real short. The fest needs some big riffs.
Lightening Bolt is pretty heavy, although I think they’re more in the noise rock genre. All Tomorrow’s Parties documentary teaser featuring Lightning Bolt
