That's a lot of bands. I really like Deerhoof and Breakestra and somehow they're exactly at the same time [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

Explosions in the Sky

I like these guys, but not sure how much I would like them live. It's instrumental, gets used every ep on FNL.

[MattSuspect]

Explosions in the Sky. and The Rapture. Hit on hipster chicks the rest of the time.

Wow that looks like a lot of good music.

If I were going the following would be MUST sees:

POS 3-4pm. Easily one of my favorite rap artists. He puts on a great show, actually has something to say and is a pretty good singer too.

Asobi Seksu 6pm - 7pm

Indy Rock/Pop band. Their CD Citrus that game out this year was excellent. Their lead singer is Japanese and she has a beautiful voice.

I'd probably see the Rapture last, although Clipse would be good too.

Matty,

The Wrens and Saul Williams are also on my must-see list. And Deerhoof too because, well, I think I'm likely to run into you-know-who there. Yeah, pathetic, I know.

But yeah, of course we're mainly just going there for indie/hipster/alternative chicks.

I'm picking out my gear for the show right now. Do you think I should rock the Tr2ons



or the classic AirTrons?

Stage 1 FTW.

Explosions IMO are the best out of the whole show.

Metric is decent. The Wrens are probably my second favorite band on this stage, they are a cool band ( sample MP3's from their website). Never seen The Rapture live but I could imagine this being fun.

EDIT: Nevermind. =(
