I'd love to support VFest, but they have to pull a giant rabbit out of their hat to overcome 2 nights of Radiohead.

First Wave of MACRoCk bands have been announced since their hiatus last year.

In case you don't know this is a non-profit little festival put on by JMU students and other local kids in Harrisonburg, Va. It typically costs like $30 for the two days - this year April 4, 5 - and is in little venues all over town.

EDIT: This year, it costs $18 for the weekend. $15 in advance.

Wouldn't it be great if the bookers at State Theater know how to book good bands?

22 bucks for this? seems a little much.
Why? I probably won't be going, but that seems reasonable. Sure, the State Theater is a dump, but at least it has seats. It's a good established act with a good opener, what would you expect to pay?

I saw Gary Louris do a solo show (actually he was accompanied by Kraig Jarrett Johnson) in Madrid a couple of years ago. Rather tasty it was. I'm guessing it costed around $22.

Just show up and tell him you're a member of the board. He'll be cool with it.

I think they'll release more tickets an hour after doors open.
