I need your help...

[redsock]

So, as the festival approaches, i'm up to my ears in bands, and am making offers etc., sometimes with not enough info.
 
 So, i'd like to occasionally throw some bands out there for you to tell me what you think the interest level would be, or, if you saw them recently, how the crowd was. Doesn't mean these bands are playing the festival, or that I've even talked to them, but it can help me determine if they should be. Cool? Cool.
 
 Lets start with:
 
 Land of Talk
 Annuals
 Man Man
 Okkervil River
 ...Trail of Dead

 Okkervil River - very good
 ...Trail of Dead -you're kidding right?

If you can somehow bring Trail of Dead circa 1999, that would rule.  Otherwise, double check to Okkervil.

i saw the annuals earlier this year at the club and was bored.

...Trail of Dead is a band I don't listen to very much, despite having their music.  However, the only reason I have their music is because when I've seen them live, they've kicked so much ass that I've been  persuaded to buy it.

Trail of Dead would be huge. Man Man is a viable 2nd. Their live show at Macrock last year was incredible.

[Vas Deferens]

Okkervil River and Man Man please!
 
 ...Trail of Dead were boring last time.

[kcjones119]

Man Man would be super awesome.

[sonickteam2]

i dunt like any of those bands.
 
  sorry!

I'll put my vote in for Okkervill River, though none of them would keep me out past my bedtime.

[allmy$to930]

Okkervill River would be a great addition.

Overkill River it is then!

[xcanuck]

Land of Talk, please!

[Relaxer]

Just to keep things interesting, I think Okkervil River blows. I'm in the minority, but I thought that Iota show from a year or two ago was bo-ring.

[dfmcpete]

I thought that Iota show was so so, as well, but I thought their Ottobar show earlier this year was great--maybe I just knew more songs by then, I dunno.
 
 +1 to Man Man, as well. Wait, didn't they play the same Iota show?
