why all these ethnic themes when none of the bands are those ethnicities? or is it the food and drink vendors they will have that particular night?
Title: Re: Live On Penn - Some Unconfirmed Bands
Post by: Disaffection on July 01, 2003, 10:08:00 am
July 26 - They Might Be Giants and Moe

On the Live on Penn website it now delineates -- Festivals 1 - 4 p.m.; Concerts 4 - 10 p.m.  I think that's the answer -- the festival and it's theme have *nothing* to do with the bands.
 
 Plus, the website now lists Guided by Voices on July 12 officially.
 
 Woo hoo!!!!

So I see that admission costs $3 (proceeds for charity)... Do you just pay when you get there? I can't imagine them selling tickets in advance for $3...

For the most part, these are a lot of washed up bands. Other cities that have festivals like this have better and more ecelectic acts.

So does that mean Rhett Miller will be playing there next?  :p

Another mediocre solo album, and I'd say Rhett could garner some attention for a live on penn spot.

no, the most popular band in DC played for free at the Kennedy Center, Nickel Creek, if only it were Nickelback, then Sonick would be happy
Title: Re: Live On Penn - Some Unconfirmed Bands
Post by: markie on July 11, 2003, 11:37:00 am
but the Kennedy center was ill set up for that many people making it terrible. I am sure people will have a much better time live on Penn.
 
 Hey big bad Bob, are you going to take me there Saturday?
Title: Re: Live On Penn - Some Unconfirmed Bands
Post by: Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer on July 11, 2003, 11:41:00 am
Yes, I'm sure that a bunch of post-collegiate fratboy types stuffed into a small space under the heat of 90 degree weather will be so much more pleasant that the Kennedy Center.
Title: Re: Live On Penn - Some Unconfirmed Bands
Post by: markie on July 11, 2003, 11:43:00 am
At least you will be able to see the band.
 
 Kennedy center sucks. Its like a massive chintzy coffin. Give me a view of the Hoover building over that everyday.

Did anyone go to this thing last week? It says we can bring blankets and lawn chairs, but is there really grass to crash on? It's hard to tell from the map of the place if the directions of the stage works with that idea. Would rather not stand in the middle of the street.

 Nah, I would just prefer to relax on a nice lawn blanket and make out with my girlfriend in front of all the old people.

This has probably been covered countless times, but does anyone know what time Guided by Voices plays on Saturday?  I'd like to try to make it, but I can't get there until a little later.
Title: Re: Live On Penn - Some Unconfirmed Bands
Post by: Bags on July 11, 2003, 04:00:00 pm
Best estimate, based on last week's show and word from someone in GBV's camp, is between 7 and 8.  I'd think closer to 7 just because I think they'll play about an hour, and the Femmes will play 60 - 90 minutes.  Shows over at 10, so counting backwards, puts Femmes on about 8:30.
Title: Re: Live On Penn - Some Unconfirmed Bands
Post by: nkotb on July 11, 2003, 04:01:00 pm
Thanks a lot.  I think I just may be able to make that.  Anyone else going?

I was volunteering at the festival last week and there's no green space to speak off from what I saw in the festival area.  Just 3-4 blocks of hot blacktop with drink and food stands on the sides.
