Coming up in July: Music Festivals

White Town – Your Woman

White Town

Just a quickie update for what’s coming up. We just got a report from Brody on Bonaroo 2010. I’ll try and edit the show on Friday, but seeing as the dayjob’s been killing me, it’ll probably won’t be done until the weekend.

And speaking of the weekend, I’m happy to say that Kenny will be joining us to talk about Indietracks Music Festival. We’re previewing some of the bands she’ll be seeing. One thing I’ve noticed right away is that White Town is playing!! ZOMG, right?

Tilly and the Wall – Dust Me Off

As for me, I’ll be in Iowa, once again, for the 80/35 Music Festival. Learning experience from last year: bring a rain poncho, bring your own internet (iPad), and bring a great camera (my Olympus four third camera).

Last year we saw some great bands, including Matisyahu and Tilly and the Wall.  This year, I’ll be checking out Modest Mouse and Dar Williams.

Should be pretty fun, this year’s lineup looks overwhelming.
