Lollapalooza?

BJM confirms they signed a contract to play…my husband just got a response from anton this morning. maybe the dandy's are lying out their ass. it seems absurd that a group like capital sports and entertainment would risk their rep by putting unsigned bands in the big announcements of lolla lineups.

anyway, how could the dandy's not have known except for fans telling them that they were on the lineup?? i mean, the press releases were everywhere and bloggers were touting the DW vs BJM showdown for the past couple of weeks since the announcement. oh, well…my husband's a fan but i won't really miss them.

as to where the dandys will be.. well sadly not at lollapalooza.. which ticks me off as its my fav. band. so, according to a dandys site guess they'll be in france. it figures, theyre usually in europe before/after/during a new album.

Hi lucky people we are!!
The DW are on the program of the "vieilles charrues" festival in Britany, they
are on the opening day Friday 22 of July!!!!!
I had program to be there without knowing it I'll be there! Lucky girl!!

Will they be serving refreshing, frost brewed Coors Light at the show?

ben kweller just added to the lineup…

From the Dandy Warhols newsletter:

Mr. Courtney was walking around one day, minding his own business, when up comes Mr. Perry Ferrell. Says Mr. Perry to Mr. Courtney,"Hey, Mr. Courtney, you should play at my show." To which Courtney replied, "What?" Then Mr. Perry repeated his plea, "Hey, Mr.Courtney, you should play at my show." To which Courtney replied, "What?" Courtney was about to go back to minding his own business when Mr. Perry scooped up a handful of pebbles and leapt to a nearby spinning wheel. Well, Mr. Perry spun and he spun! Whirrrr! Whirrr!! He spun for about ten minutes until he fashioned those pebbles into a solid gold hearing-aid. After handing the device to Courtney, Mr.
Perry again repeated his plea. "Hey, Mr. Courtney, you should play at my show." This time, with the golden hearing-aid augmenting the plea,
Courtney replied "Ohhhh. Okay."

They've known they were playing for a while now.Gotta love the marketing machine AND Courtney's business savvy.Got it down to a fine art!Much needed boost in Lolla ticket sales I'd bet.If this convinces anyone to get tix who haven't yet,I'd get them soon or they'll cost ya an extra 15 bucks.

gotta love courtney. although plenty of rumours did have it they would be in france and then switzerland (or some other european country) on that same date playing other festivals. considering how much in the past the dandys have played european festivals, it wouldnt have been that unrealistic to assume they could possibly be in europe during lolla.

daddy a go go and the candy band? thats a joke right? is kidz bop playing too?

Hard Fi is a fucking great band though.

and DJ Muggs Mashup Circus? what is he, insane in the brain? how stupid.

wtf? a bunch of kids acts?? i'm so annoyed right now at the stagnant lineup. still haven't gotten my "souvenir" tickets although they were supposed to go out within 6-8 weeks of the presale. they better get their shit together, and soon, or i'll be one of the disatisfied people returning my tickets to frontgate. we were promised 70+ bands…didn't think 5 of those would be geared towards children.

lol. doesnt Hoya have a comment on this….

Lord I hope so. When they drop Float On on the crowd, it'll be a moment that goes down in indie rock history.

didnt Modest Mouse cover that song?

Even if the anticipated number of acts has dropped below 70 as first stated, at 60 bands, you're paying $.58/band. Shit, you aren't going to pay that anywhere. I know you won't see all 60 bands, but still. And we don't know why the Dandy's have dropped. Endless number of reasons.

I'm with you. How the hell can people stress that – OHMIGOD – there might only be 50 bands!!! Still means there are 25 you won't see (instead of 35 you won't see…).

If you're talking several of the marguee bands, that's one thing, but simply worrying about the number of bands based on a desire of the promoters to book 70…get real.

are we really going to start the quantity over quality arguement again?

58 cents a bad, BFD. if they suck then i dont care if it was 1 cent a band.

and do these 58 cents include travelling and lodging and many beers to have to sit through Daddy A Go Go? (who definitely arent worth 58 cents)
