By Jeannette - Tuesday October 10th 2006
So how was it for you? Here are some shots our Jeannette took. We’ll have some words on the whole thing coming up shortly. -Ed.
!!!
Blonde Redhead
LA’s own The Blood Arm
Of Montreal
It was fucking awesome. Highlight- Of Montreal. Basement Jaxx not too shabby, either. Caught some of the DJ set by VHS or Beta, and that was very nice also. Beck’s set was not as good as his tour, but hey, they tour was amazing.
Sound was great. The set up downtown was tight.
Nice Work everbody involved. I hope you bring it back next year. It was way cool.
Hey Guy’s how come no mention of queens if the stone age???
Bill DeMarco said they rocked… BUT he missed !!! AND Kelly AND he didn’t find $3.00 beers AND he had to ask what the score to the Doyers game was AND he is also still locking up his goats.
There was no mention of Peeping Tom either.
I wanted to see QOTSA. During that same time slot !!! took the wee stage and, frankly, did not do one single thing wrong. Jesus. I stand by my choice.
hey did’d you saw those guys who ride their bikes and go to your house but this time they we’re walking in the downtown that day playing punk songs walking. its like those orgasmo guys, no?
