Anyone else going to this this weekend? (Green, I'm looking in your direction). 25 bands across 3 days in Chicago. Some of the most seminal punk and indie groups of the 1980s-90s-00s will be playing, assholes.
This will be one of the few music festivals where the bands not only will be playing, but in the audience as spectators and genuine fans watching the other bands.
the vaunted lineup:
Big Black Shellac Jon Langford (the Mekons) Quasi Arcwelder Tim Midgett and Andy Cohen (Silkworm) Man or Astroman? Girls against Boys !!! Enon Black Heart Procession Ted Leo and the Pharmacists Seam The New Year Calexico Scratch Acid The Monorchid Negative Approach The Ex Didjits
