I post on there, and I can assure you, the Bravery isn't confirmed in the least. They're using the assumption that since the Bravery gets played alot, they must be playing.
 
 Billy Idol and JCS actually said on their sites, though, that they're playing. [/b]

It sucked for a while when the HFS went off the air because 1000 idiots flooded the boards, and for those of us who don't even live in DC, it was a bit pathetic. It's all good now, I have ban power, so the moron squad stays in line.
 
 Keep it real, bags.

For those who care, here's your HFStival, according to a punk band called Unwritten Law's website:
 
 2005-05-14        
 w/ SOCIAL DISTORTION,
 BILLY IDOL, NY DOLLS, SUM 41,
 BRAVERY, INTERPOL, MUSE,
 GARBAGE, & OTHERS TBA        
 
 HFStival @ M&T Bank Stadium         Baltimore, MD

why can't SxDX and NY Dolls just tour together and be done with... Can you honestly expect 99.1 percent of an HFstival crowd understanding the importance of the New York Dolls?  this bites...

I agree with Kosmo, there is enough dumb shite (and dumb shites) associated with HFStival to keep me from going even if the Dolls are playing.  Dumb.

I would definitely go to this....first time in a while there were several of the more major acts I'd love to see, but I'm in NYC that weekend for a wedding....what's a gal to do.

Are the Dolls going to be doing any sort of tour?  I'd gladly travel to see them in a decent venue, but if this is a one-off show, I may have to go to this afterall.

Haha... over on HFStival.com, people are prognosticating NY Dolls on the street stage. "I've never heard of them before!" What's a guy to do?

No....fucking...way....
 
 If this is true, it's hard to be upset about this because we've (collectively) bitched about the lack of talent at the HFStival for years now.  Cheers to the organizers for getting this lineup together and making good on their Lollapalooza promise after it was cancelled - all it took was Clear Channel cancelling HFS and the corporation that ran the station to be gone for the organizers to take real chances.  Kudos to them.
 
 Oh, and it's a mortal sin to say "the punk band Unwritten Law" when they are listed with SxDx and NY Dolls.  They shouldn't even be in the same breath anyway.

I agree, I was just trying to cut off the "who the hell is Unwritten law" question before it got asked.

which confirms my intial thought of the New York Dolls being pelted with cups during their set... The irony is that most of the bands on the bill wouldn't exist had it not been for the Dolls.

Is Saturday Night Live crooner Buster Poindexter still the lead singer of the NY Dolls? Man, I loved him on that show.

Anybody hear the song "Have Mercy" on WOXY today?
 
 Quite good.  Kind of a Black Keys-vibe going on.
 
 Has anyone listened to the album?
