It’s going to be quiet around here next week. I’ll be out of town on a full-blown non-bloggy vacation. I’ll make it up to you, though. Bamboozle Left is next weekend and I imagine I’ll be writing about that one for a while. You can view the full line-up here, schedules go up on Monday.
Who should I make a point not to miss? A bazillion bands are playing this show and I’m familiar with a lot of them, but not all. Who plays a must-see set?
MCR, obviously. Play something off Bullets for me, guys. It’s been forever.
Jimmy, of course. (Jimmy’s riding on banked goodwill – the last time I saw them they played like they were on Valium. Step it up, guys. You’re not off the hook just because you defined the genre.)
But who else? Charlotte Sometimes has been on my radar for a while, but I haven’t really investigated yet. Same goes for Automatic Loveletter.
I’m a huge AFI fan, but never really got all that interested in Blaqk Audio. Anyone seen them live? Any good? If I’ve been an AFI fan since Black Sails will I be disappointed?
Breathe Carolina fans (and there are a lot of you out there), this is your chance to tell me how wrong I am about them, again. I might wander by – maybe they’re an acquired taste.
I’ve been mildly obsessed with Foxy Shazam and Zox for weeks, so expect posts about their sets, schedules willing.
Take The Crown is a name that’s been popping up around here for a while (I think they’re localish). Any good?
Did I miss someone? I tried to hunt a lot of these bands down on eMusic and Myspace, but I won’t get around to all of them. Who’s worth paying attention to? More important, who do you want to read about?
