i know it's just preliminary, but i'm seriously underwhelmed. that's not the type of list to convince me to buy a three-day pass.

Yeah, it's still early... I'm excited to see which local bands will be picked to showcase this year. Has anyone heard any good rumors of who might be playing??

i know, i was just thinking in terms of marketing & trying to create a buzz. this is the first year of their new alliance with the people who do coachella & jazz fest... not a good start.
while it's fun to see which local bands get booked, it's the strength of the touring acts which convince me to deal with the crowds.

Saw the Fratellis at Mercury Lounge awhile ago. They're pretty good--can see where the obsession could come from.
If Aloha plays, I'm flying out.

WHAT! Crowded House is going to be there? This is totally warping my world man. Crowded House in Seattle in the year 2007. CRAZY! I wonder who will be playing drums for them (since their original drummer sadly passed away a few years back). Hmm.
Has anyone heard anything about the Fratellis being there?
