Georgetown Music Fest Lineup Announced!

May 20th, 2008

You’re favorite local block party music extravaganza is happening once again, and we’ve got all the juicy details (forget, for a moment, what you’ve read on all those other blogs).

 

It’s gonna be goin’ down the weekend of June 13th and 14th, with lineups for both Friday and Saturday. And—guess what—HELMET (basically Page Hamilton with a bunch of new dudes) is the current headliner! WTF? Personal highlights from last year were Voyager One, Tiny Vipers, the Trucks, BOAT, Earlimart, Iceage Cobra, and Skullbot.

 

Most townies will tell you that this is the TRUE local music festival, done by the artists, for the artists, in the last outpost of blue-collar DIY ethic in the city. They even had a contest to design this year’s poster. If you want to volunteer (bartend, setup, cleanup), you get free tix for both shows. Anyway, Georgetown is awesome, and the lineup looks equally grand:

 

Thee Emergency / Aqueduct / The Hands / Slender Means / The Lashes / Cancer Rising / Carrie Akre / Helms Alee / Little Pieces / The Kindness Kind / Megasapien / Skullbot / Spanish for 100 / Leeni / Lords of the North / The Hanks / Skeletons With Flesh on Them / Denelian / Kaylee Cole / Daguerrotypes / The Oregon Donor

 

The Bad Things / Reporter / Nazca Lines / Bronze Fawn / The Globes / Ms. Led / Danny’s House / Pwrfl Power / Emblematic / Shim / Tennis Pro / The Upside Down / Le Fleur / Levator / Pink Snowflakes / Hypatia Lake / Panther Attack! / Godspeed / Helmet / more to come…

 

 

**Update: From the band itself—the Valley has been added to Friday’s lineup!
