Originally posted by Ontap:Just as a suggestion, since I may do this again this year, would it be possible to leave a little bit earlier and catch the first band this time?
We're doing a hotel option (we will also have an option of just bus-ing it up) mostly because the concert goes so late and then starts up so early the next day! With that normal 40 minute drive taking over an hour with traffic, wouldn't you like somewhere to rest your head in between, not to mention meet new people (slumber party anyone?!). It won't be that expensive- will be a steal since it would be less than what you would pay if you did it on your own (group discount!).
V Fest
Yeah, we are going to try! We know that sucked last year but who knew traffic would be so bad!
Don't know about the laws regarding busses and such but you may want to look into taking another route. Even better if you can zone in online to some of those traffic sites to see what's moving and what's not. Just a thought.
Btw, I think it's a great idea that you are offering an over-nighter. It would be the rare bird who doesn't mind getting up the next day to have to drive all the way back up and then home again when doing the 2 day option. Shit, most DC folk won't even bother coming up to Baltimore just for one event let alone a back to back deal. I know I sure wouldn't want to do so and I'm use to having to leave town to satisfy my musical cravings.

MSTRKRFT at V-fest is grrreat news. This show is shapping up nicely and the full lineup hasnt even been announced!
When i heard last years i instantly became aroused. Now it's gonna take a lot to win me back.
i'm hoping for interpol… especially now that they have an album to promote.
White Stripes? Queens of the Stone Age? HUH!? huh? :D
0mg. Justice. OR! Klaxons.
white stripes at vfest is a no-go, since jack's wife is expecting a baby that weekend (per seth's earlier reports). so you'll have to hang your hat on other hopes…
1 day tickets will be the same price as last year, with a 2-day ticket for even less per day
did we say if Snow Patrol is going to be there, did i hear that on here or somewhere else?
and what about Matisyahu?
i suppose we'll find out in 2 days.

Spinal Tap reunites
Any chance of getting them for Vfest? :)

Originally posted by kosmo:Saw FOW last night and they put on a great show. I wouldn't say they are the most engaging band on stage, but their music speaks for itself. They played songs from all of their albums and were sounding top-notch. It was nice to see an older crowd at webster hall (vs all the really young kids, not that theres anything wrong with that), but a nice change.
well FOW aren't much of a must see live anymore IMHO, having seen three times and none of them what I would call stellar performances…
my only complaint is that even with 2 encores their set was only about an hour long. Chris was losing his voice and towards the end could barely sing, but his performance was still great. theres a few more songs id have loved to have heard from Utopia Parkway, but nothing that I can complain to much about.
I will say Robbers on High Street has to come up with something. They are so boring on stage, and their music is quite good. Its just a shame that their stage presence still hasnt come about. Its never been the same since opening up for Ambulance Ltd.
In other news, i've completely lost my voice and im going to see faithless tonight. oh man this rather sucks since im sick as hell. must get better for tribeca cant get any movie stars sick while im volunteering.

I think that 60 minute show is typical for FOW Same shit they pulled on a few years ago at 9:30. Why do these bands who do have a plethora of material to cull from choose to rip their fans off with short shows?

have you two justice fans heard of Krazy Baldhead? he's are on the same label as Justice and he rocks out much much much much harder.
dont think he does as much remix stuff, but his original material is about as dancefloor-rocking as you can get without dressing like a robot or having any block rocking beats…if you know what i mean.
