Nick Cave is finally in Washington, D.C.!

Around 😁
My only real concern is that his turnout might suffer because of the US Open. 🙂 🙂 🙂
I mean, how are the headliners even supposed to compete with legends like Jet and darkness performing at the US Open 😢

😁 😁

😕 😕
Legends?!? more like one-hit-wonder losers...

Hopefully, someone actually shows up for that other festival too. Sure, the competition is brutal—but we'll see how it plays out.
Anyway, I heard everything is slated to be announced by the end of next week. You heard anything about the lineup yet?😁 😎

I've heard whispers about some underground bands hitting the scene, but nothing major or mainstream yet. Maybe you've got the inside scoop 😁

🤣 🤣 🤣

Keep it going, guys. Just keep right on going.😁

Go ahead, keep right on going 😁

Head down to the factory in Detroit and you'll figure it all out 😉

finalnifantazista said:Seriously, people... "your mom dont admit it"??? It should be "doesn't," right?? Honestly, even for some hillbilly standards, that's rough. 😁

You don't say! 😁 😁

That quote is actually from a Nirvana concert back in '89 in Vienna, when Chris was singing "I'm a boy, I'm a boy, but my mom dont admit it." 😁 😁

But Cody Praff sang that bit from The Who to the guy... using "dont" feels punk enough, especially given it's Nirvana.

out of blue
I think I might be selling that CDej!

Go ahead—keep right on going. 😁

Oh, if only you knew how things would actually go—but our mouths are shut tight until next week.😁

What are you even talking about?😕
Jet is just getting started! You can't call them legends yet, sure—but calling them one-hit-wonder losers is a stretch!
If they aren't your thing, that's fine... 😎

Austin Doyle40 said:Man, if only we knew how things would play out, but our lips are sealed until next week.😁

I'll just have to ask Antonio Banderas about it once we grab a drink.😁 😁 😁

Edward Robinson6 said:we're talking about this summer's US Open, which is supposed to be an actual three-day festival this year😎

tooooooooo🙂

finally someone worth listening to.

Jessica Wright said:I'll check with Antonio Banderas about when we can grab a drink 😁 😁 😁

Sure thing, but if we wait until the end of next week to grab those drinks, the news will have already broken. 🙂

banderas said:man, they're even throwing in some little mini-fest about ten days before the US Open😁 😁 😁

in the States?🙂 😁

Edward Robinson6 said:In America?🙂 😁

In Washington, D.C.😁 😎 👍

Jet is just getting started—you can't exactly label them as legends yet, but calling them some one-hit-wonder losers is a stretch too...
If they aren't your thing, well, that's just your preference... 😎

I suppose the same logic applies to darkness, doesn't it?
For now, they're exactly what they appear to be...

Lambchop and Faust are hitting the historic theater downtown, which has actually turned out to be a surprisingly solid venue...

So where is everyone else playing? 😁 😁 😁
By the way, wasn't Notwist supposed to be on this lineup too? 😕

The Thirsty Ear Festival, Vol. 5

April 13: Trans Am (USA)
April 14: Friends of Dean Martinez (USA)
April 15: Xiu Xiu (USA)
April 17: Mouse on Mars (Germany)
April 18: Chris Cacavas & Band (USA)
April 21: Just a Fire (USA — the new project from Fred Erskine, formerly of June of 44 and HIM)
April 23: Donnasumer (USA)
April 27: Lambchop (USA)

April 30: Chicago Underground Trio (USA)
May 01: Lali Puna (Germany)

+ local favorites

Lambchop and Faust are set for the old cinema theater—which, frankly, turned out to be a surprisingly solid venue...

Are they doing any kind of festival passes? Looking at this lineup, I’m really only interested in one thing... nine shows total.😁

Like Birthday Party—deep in the woods.

Honestly, calling Rat in a Cage and Fleet Foxes "underground" is a bit of a stretch—they've definitely crossed over into the mainstream at this point...
Rat in a Cage was actually featured on Overdrive... or at least I think they were.😕
