Anyone in the forum going? It's really tempting...

There will also be a pre-party at the Metro with Sunset Rubdown, Voxtrot, and the Joggers!

I'll be there. Got my tickets a while ago. Amazing lineup for $30. My plan is to stay in Chicago for the week and go to Lolla the following weekend.

I envy you...but if I do that, I'll miss Sleater Kinney, Rentals, and Pretenders at the 930...so I think it's fair ;)

I'm going.

I was going to go, but had to cancel. I just bought a car, so now I don't have any money right now for a trip. For people that go, check out Flatstock at Pitchfork. It's a bunch a people that do concert posters around the country. A lot of good stuff...

Damn I want to go to this....not possible. Gggrrrr.
-
good lineup, but it just sounds boring to me. I mean is there really like a party going on here or is it a ton of folded armed indie kids staring at rock bands and the like?
anyone ever been before?
-
i'll be there for the pre-party, the festival, and sleater-kinney when i get back here. it's gonna be a fun couple of days.
-
Well, something came up at the last minute and now I can't make this one. Just Lollapalooza now.
Oh well, I've pretty much seen all the bands I want to anyway. I'm just bummed that I'll be missing Os Mutantes. And I also wanted to see Silver Joos again...
-
os mutantes?
fuck yes.
-
As much as I hate pitchfork, I'll take that lineup over Lolapalooza or Virgin Festival lineups.
And if I remember correctly, the cost was only a small fraction of the other two.

Yeah, I think this is the best lineup out of all the festivals this year. Well, this one or Sasquatch.
Tix were only $30 for two days.
-
I thought it was a great festival.
Art Brut took home the blue ribbon.

Me too :)

Anyone see the Silver Jews set there? How was it? Malkmus?
-
silver jews was great. best/craziest was the liars+man man. yo la was good. best part about it was they did not rape people for food + water. big bottles of water were $1, if you did not get one for free. food was local, good + reasonable. just like lolla last yr it was almost 100 degrees. the announcer might have been the best part of the show.
-
did anyone see Jens Lekman? looks like a super-short set from ggw's schedule, i wish i had been able to go up to NYC and see his 2 shows a couple of weekends ago
-
Jens is one of the few acts in this lineup that I haven't seen live before, and so another reason I regret missing this festival. But it looks like he was given a solid hour or so. On at 2, then Liars at 3:30.

Jens is amazing. Too bad he always skips DC.

Unfortunately Jens only had a half hour set, but it was wonderful. The main stages were very close together and would alternate bands, as soon as the band at stage A finished stage C would start up. So the sets were shorter, but the opportunity to see more bands was increased. Other highlights include Art Brut, Man Man and Destroyer. Os Mutantes were easily the most enthralling and fun set of the festival.

yeah, i agree ... you know he played a solo gig at mercury lounge, and then a full band gig at bowery ballroom a couple of weeks ago, i'm still kicking myself for not cutting class and going up there

He's doing an in-store performance in NYC at Soundfix. So they get him three times in two weeks, and we get zero. Awesome. :mad:
