 w/ SOCIAL DISTORTION, UNWRITTEN LAW, B IDOL, NY DOLLS, SUM 41, BRAVERY, INTERPOL, MUSE, GARBAGE, & OTHERS TBA     HFStival @ M&T Bank Stadium
 
 I've been in the area for about 10 years, and year after year, crap.  This I might pay for.

wow... that's actually worth checking out.

[andyrichter]

wow. an hfstival actually worth going to?  who knew it took a spansish radio station to do it?

[proudestmonkey22]

an hfstival that doesnt suck ass? But.....but its hfstival!!!! HOW CAN THIS BE

[ggw]

Is Johnny Thunders really buried in Sweden?

[Herr Professor Doktor Doom]

heh... I seem to remember HFStivals that were awesome... but maybe it was all just a good dream...

well you guys won't have me competing with you for tickets.  nothing i want to see there that's worth seeing in a festival setting.  i won't need to see interpol AGAIN and there's no way billy idol will be as fun as the 2001 show @ 930 was.

So who's with me on poaching Social D, New York Dolls, and Garbage for KSMOfstival?  Add those to bill and the attendence leaps to 4 to 5K.  
 
 There will be of course a special pit for the elite 101.  
 
 Behind that will be the area for Certified New York Dolls Fans. Automatic disqualification for wearing a baseball cap backwards, wearing any "punk" band t-shirt unless it's a visible worn out Social D one, and visible underwear unless approved by Smackie.
 
 Get pass the clothing restriction and then pass the test.
 
 1. True or False.  Is Steven Tyler Scarlett Johansson father?  (should eliminate many right away)
 
 2. Where is Johnny Thunders buried?
 
 3. Name several bands name checked by Jayne County.
 
 4. Describe Max's Kansas City?
 
 5. Is Lou Reed's Metal Machine Music a Masterpiece or Contract Breaker?  (ok trick question)

and on the festival it's self if this is the "official" lineup.  much like the radio station it's self in it's latter days.
 
 it's 1/3 interesting - Social Distortion, New York Dolls, Garage
 
 it's 1/3 mildly amusing - Billy Idol, Unwritten Law, Sum 41
 
 it's 1/3 down right annoying - Interpol, Bravery, Muse.

WHFS El Sol = SELF HOWLS

Well put. The line up could be better for a concert that you're going shell out almost $50 for.

i'm still hoping for new order

[sonickteam2]

maybe its because its a baltimore station now, that they actually have a decent lineup.

[kosmo vinyl]

don't you think it has more to do with the fact that they actually have to pay bands to play this festival instead of getting of them for free in return for airplay?  i'm curious as to what other radio festivals look like this spring.  
 
 in the end depending on the second stage acts i'd probably go if tickets are available the day of the show.  i'm certainly not going to lose sleep over not attending...

Well so far that sounds about as good as I could possibly imagine an hfestival. I wanna hear personality crisis live one time.
