This year's crop of A-list bands have me less excited than the A-listers in the past. Instead of Weezer, Ween, and the Pixies I get Pearl Jam, Daft Punk and Iggy Pop. However, this year's secondary bands are the best yet. Electric Six (Punk / Disco), Tapes 'n' Tapes (my current fave album), Cold War Kids (Hipster Rock), Modest Mouse, Snow Patrol, the list goes on.
Each of the three years has gotten better. The first year there was some sound bleeding through from stage to stage. They fixed that last year but in turn we got some serious walking between stages and no time to walk it. This year I have noticed that they have added a few stages between the main stages and have shifted the direction that the stages face so that the sound will not interfere stage to stage.
I will have a review after the weekend. If I am sober enough I will try to give nightlies but I would not hold my breath. In the meantime here are a few videos of the bands I look forward to seeing. If any of you are going, I will 100% be at the Electric Six that first day. I will see you there.
