I'd think an Ash greatest hits set would be a good draw. It's not going to sell out 9:30, but it could do well at a smaller place, especially if it's promoted right.

I vote Mission of Burma and Rock Plaza Central but can tell you nothing about the crowd at either show, sorry.

When I saw Okkervil River it was a pretty good crowd, i think they would have a big draw because if I'm remembering correctly, they haven't been here in awhile.

I saw Man Man open for Fiery Furnaces (i think? is that right?) and the crowd was pretty into it for an opener, a fair number of people showed up if I am remembering correctly.

Oh yeah, and BigYawn is back, finally. We actually have a contest at the moment, though not sure how many of you would be interested in it.

So, as the festival approaches, i'm up to my ears in bands, and am making offers etc., sometimes with not enough info.

Lets start with:

Land of Talk - Great, get them if you can, should be relatively cheap

Annuals - hit or miss but not boring, over exposed

Man Man - agnostic

Okkervil River - get em

…Trail of Dead - I still like them, kill live, get em if the price is right

I believe it was Man Man and Charles Bissell opening.

You already know how much I want Okkervil to play the Fest ;)

Mission of Burma at the Black Cat in '06 (maybe July) was close to sold out and they absolutely killed. Them and Man Man together would make my head asplode.

I'll make it easy for you, redsock:

Okkervil. Then Burma the next night. Then have Trail of Dead play their first album, Madonna, and Source Tags straight through. Also, get them to rehire the original bass player. That guy ruled.

Id come down to see Ash. And have always wanted to see Land of Talk.

If someone paid me, id still not see Annuals. Each time gets more painful!

I've seen Mission of Burma 4-5 times since they reunited. They slay.

Yes, please. Infact, in the past two weeks I've been meaning to check out their site to see what's new. I missed them in the city over a year ago, and would like to see them live.

I'd think Ash would fill up a smallish venue. And they'd be great.

I'd def see Burma.

Rock Plaza Central did nothing for me in Austin, and there was very little crowd even though they were between John Doe and Apples in Stereo.

Ditto! That RNR Hotel show last march was just about as fun as it gets.

Alright, well, no Okkervil for DAM! Fest anyway, at least they are still coming (he says while throwing knives at an image of the RnR Hotel's booker).

More bands for you to think about:
Pernice Brothers
Eric Bachmann
Earl Greyhound
Gizzly Bear
Elf Power
Jens Lekman

Please, discuss…

definitely TRAIL OF DEAD…..
and I think Ash would draw a good crowd.
sorry, but what festival is this we're talking about?
