Redsock, if  you're still filling out the lineup, a couple of bands I've love to see here again are the Helio Sequence, the Brother Kite, and the Apparitions.  Looking forward to the fest...

Thought I did somewhere. October 7-15, though the core dates are the 11th thru 13th. [/b]

We do have a big name or 2, and some DC comebacks, if u will, plus plenty of buzz. 3 of those 4 bands are plying DC in the next two months, so will not be hitting the festival unfortunately...

The Helio Sequence are prolly not gonna be around. they are touring with minus the bear, but starting after the DC date. I talked to them, but they don't want to play a show opposite their tour partners...

Isn't that pretty much what happened to HFStival? Not because they meant to do that of course, but they did get bigger and bigger then smaller and now nonexistent.

Quite soon. No Pela this year, actually trying not to have too many national repeats. We don't have the full line-up ready, but we'll at least get out some of the headliners. [/b]
the drummer of pela is leaving and his last show is at the bowery in a few weeks (or maybe sooner than that). cant remember if it said something about taking some time off (the band that is).

The fact that you choose to be a cat lover as opposed to a dog lover tells me you are raging against the machine already.  VIVE LE RESISTANCE!

According to the Richmond Times-Dispatch, there was quite the bidding war for The Police between VFest and HFStival. CBS offered a million; Richard Branson, obviously, topped it.

but there wasn't a HFStival this year... or did i just miss it completely?
 
 so, if i'm correct, hfstival bid on the police, lost, and later canned the whole festival?  good thing they didn't get the police, as vfest would have moved on to another big act and DC/b'more might not have had the chance to experience the police.  mind you, for some that might have been a good thing   ;)  
 
 Bible CONNOISSEUR, huh?  is this in retaliation for recent accusation of promiscuity made in your direction?
