So I know you're at home right now getting stoked about that free
shitty flaming lips show and hanging out with bro's that take both the
flaming lips and the mars volta as seriously as they take their day
time co op food jobs. Keep in mine test fest II is almost a week away.
Need I remind you of how awesome the line up is? Day 1 will be the
place to be so you can take those totally awesome facebook pictures with your friends while
wearing big ironic glasses and looking like a grade A moron. Armida and her Imaginary band are kicking
things off for us, and the new ep is a killer. Screen Vinyl Image and
True Womanhood are gonna slay. Also Rosemary Krust will blow you away
with their twee harsh noise. I know I know day 2 is a total sausage
fest, but kurt vile is playing, you dont wanna miss that.
We'd love to be able to document the fest. Josh Sisk, an awesome
photographer from charm city is coming out to cover day one you can
see his work in Rolling Stone, Spin, URB, Decibel, Blender, XLR8R,
Revolver, Pitchforkmedia etc etc. (

more for day one and day two. Your shitty iphone camera doesn't count,
and no one wants to see some shitty post modern Polaroid crap so keep
it in your pants. If you got what it takes, email me. You will get in
for free, and maybe I will buy you a drink. We are still working out
the DJ situation for the chose few. Don't worry, You wont hear MIA for
the 10000000th time, nor will you hear music that sounds like the
windows_startup.wav ran through a trash can mic'd up, and repeated for
10 mins. If I did talk to you about DJing consider yourself part of
the elite, or a loser for even considering DJing your sorry excuse for
music at this thing.
I recommend for the second night coming fairly early (though day 1
might be the same way), one to see all the bands, but two this day
might be packed. Don't be lame by pre gaming at DC9 and listening to
their jukebox that plays bad rap and bands like the faint. No one
cares how early you are, you aren't that important, and who would
wanna miss twin stumps? Dudes dressed as interpol playing flipper on
crack.
Anyways get in touch if you can help out, get stoked, get ready to GO OFF.
