The Menzingers – Who’s Your Partner

The Village — Fri, 14 Oct 2011 17:10:00 +0000

All posts in October will be from bands playing Fest 10 in Gainesville, Florida. Everything will be posted in the order that they are playing.

Saturday, 1pm at Loosey’s.

I’m not really that into this band, but it’s 1 pm and it’s an acoustic set, so screw it. Let’s go see the band putting out the best Against Me records today.

Kid Dynamite – Troy’s Bucket

The Village — Sat, 08 Oct 2011 17:03:00 +0000

All posts in October will be from bands playing Fest 10 in Gainesville, Florida. Everything will be posted in the order that they are playing.

Friday, 8:45 at The Florida Theater of Gainesville.

This is posted out of order because Lifetime, a band everyone loves, but I couldn’t give a shit about, had to drop off Fest due to babies. But still wanting to play, members of Lifetime remembered they had this other band that the kids are into, and now Kid Dynamite is playing.

There are no other bands that even come close to how badly I want to see this band. Sorry, Great Explainer and Touche Amore, you lose.

Atom & His Package – Going To Georgia

The Village — Sat, 20 Aug 2011 14:20:00 +0000

All posts in the month of August will be covers.

Originally by The Mountain Goats

Hearing Atom play this at Michigan Fest in 2002 was actually the first time I had ever even heard of the Mountain Goats. And despite Atom’s performance, I didn’t investigate the band any further for like 5 years.

Somehow, despite sounding completely Atom & His Package, this still seems like a Mountain Goats song.
