I've been in the area for about 10 years, and year after year, crap. This I might pay for.

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.
Got Haggis?

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…

No need to go no matter what the lineup. I'd pay $50 to go if it could be guranteed that (unlike last year) beer wasn't $6 for bud light, the food wasn't shitty (and expensive as well), and I didnt have to look at other women of ALL sizes in bikini tops, or be begged by teenage boys to buy them said $6 crap beer.
That said, not a terrible lineup.

I've never been to one. But if I can be assured that I will (1) See women of all sizes in bikini tops, (2) pound down six-dollar bud lites, (3) eat shitty, expensive stadium food, and (4) buy six-dollar bud lites for teenage boys, get me a ticket and gas up the car.

Will anyone there even know who the New York Dolls are? That being said, I would love to see the remaining 2 in the hopes that they would be halfway OK, and Social D is always worth seeing. That's one crazy line-up though.
