What Northwest bands are playing Bumbershoot 2008? Let the rumors begin...

It has come to my attention that people are very curious about what local Northwest bands will be playing at Bumbershoot this year (ahem, hi Mad Dog).

I've checked the official Bumbershoot website and have found:

  • M. Ward
  • Blitzen TrapperĀ 
  • The Fall of Troy
  • Arthur & Yu
  • ADDED: New Faces

But I know they usually wait till closer to the date to annouce the lucky local acts. So -- to that end, I propose a good ole fashioned imaginary rumor machine. Friends... Who have you heard is playing? Or who do you hope is playing?

The Shackeltons, while not local, will be playing Bumbershoot this year according to their schedule.

@preston -- of course, New Faces! I just added them to the list.

And the Shackeltons just FEEL so local, don't they? I wonder if Seattle feels as familiar to them as they do to us? Glad to hear they're playing Bumbershoot.

I heard Mark Pickerel will be playing. He told me so, so I take it on good authority!

Yes. I hope those sexmachines from Black Whales do it. I'll keep my fingers crossed, but not my legs.
