[capt_morgan]

you have zero good bands on there

[freerange]

fuck

[capt_morgan]

dont take my word for it though...gregoir knows his shit...i dont

[gregoir]

Thievary Corporation is awesome. It's two dj's and possibly a live band that play world music. the dj's control the sound of the live band. or if it's just a dj set it will still be pretty world music heavy

!!! is actually a band. they are kind of like a garage band with electronic/punk influence. I enjoy them a lot

A-Trak is a party DJ he actually was Kanye's DJ for his last couple tours. I've never seen him but am looking forward to seeing him at camp.

Paul Oakenfield is a legend from the 90's era. Will def be a highlight with quite a crowd.

Rich Aucoin is from Canada. It's indie electronica. Lots of operetic psychedlica mixed with bears. I dig his stuff



Not on the electro side of things but I saw The Dandy Warhols were on the list. They are one of my favorite bands I have never seen. Their album 13 tales of Urban Bohemia is one of my favorite Albums of all time.

[listen2sloka]

you have zero good bands on there

i def saw fishbone on there

[gregoir]

oooops I guess The Dandy Warhols are not on there I was seeing things. There is def a lot of things I would see on there that I don't normally see. Some good variety.

[In A Silent Way]

I'm not heady. I've played Oakenfold and T-Corp on my radio show, but have no idea who anybody else is on that list.

[gregoir]

Beirut will be awesome

[Chip]

Shemekia Copeland is Blues and she can fucking sing the daughter blues guitarist and singer Johnny Copeland.

Fishbone, go to that.

Mastadon, Fuckin A Metal, not a bunch of cookie monster sounding guys, but that said, heavy fucking metal fun.

The Melvins, usually pretty heavy stuff too, but more punk or at least not as Metal.

Holy Shit, Nickleback? why the fuck? That is one fucked up festival, lol.

[freerange]

thanks for the input
yeah i've known beirut has been booked for awhile really looking forward to them
maiden is bringing out a setlist from the late 80's
stoked for mastodon
oakenfold of trainspotting right that will be good
blitzen trapper
the hold steady
conor oberst
some good fun this year...very different for this fest
they are really sticking their necks out for this lineup
beer sales will suffer i think

[freerange]

yeah it is fucked up isn't it
weirdest lineup for ottawa bluesfest ever

[nancykind]

wow, that's an odd lineup for them indeed!

[Smiles]

Thievery Corp. owns! Never seen them live but they performed multiple sets for many a road trip.

Conor Oberst makes me want to cut my wrists (in a good way).

This is really a Blues fest?

I'd get wet before Mastadon and claw my eyes out. rarrrraaggggge!

Nickleback shouldn't play anywhere ever.

City and Colour makes the 19 year old hipster chick in me feel all sexy and loved. This would prolly be my number 1 must see that I'm not going to tell anyone I'm going to see because c'mon, seriously? whatever shutup i love dallas green

What's my mother f*ckin name?

Have fun! Lots of gems in there.

[Heady]

Billy Bragg NOT ELECTRONIC go see

As well as Blitzen Trapper (experimental country-folk rockers who are good) -

And youth lagoon, dreamie non-pop, or something. I like their sound -

Chromeo - super fun nonsensical dance music, wouldn't miss

[gregoir]

He was more referring to the fact that many of the acts were electronic not all of them.

I would of suggested Chromeo but the last time I told people to see them they complained about it for a year. lololdpeople

[JBetty]

We were just bummed the piano legs weren't wearing fishnets.

[lilphlower]

i would definitely not miss the following people from your electronic list...

paul oakenfold
!!!
mstrkrft
chromeo
theivery corp

they are all managable and a nice intro to the genre (i.e. you probably wont get annoyed and leave....unless the uh, 16 year olds scare you away, this will probably happen during skrillex and tiesto, although it might be worth catching for a few minutes so you can get scared away)

the sierra leone allstarts are worth checking out too

[In A Silent Way]

Shemekia Copeland is a pretty good blues singer.
Billy Bang is OK if you like political activists.

[JBetty]

"Chromeo - They're really good at what they do. I just don't like what they do."

[Jambear]

Nickleback shouldn't play anywhere ever.

[CTMuleman]

"Chromeo - They're really good at what they do. I just don't like what they do."

This!

[freerange]

thank you for the help here
i'm keeping an open mind and embracing change here
i'll check out chromeo that sounds fun
yeah i went over to check out a bit of skrillex last year while on a ben harper intermission
i enjoyed the throwdown that it was while not particularly enjoying dubstep much
what i am looking forward to this year is mixing in the electro with the genres i dig
for example on the second saturday i don't have see skrillex headline the main stage instead i can:
dirty projectors on the river stage to souljazz orchestra on the electro stage to shemekia copeland on the black sheep stage
to beirut on the main stage 2 to mastodon on the river stage to 10cc on the black sheep stage
all in one day...that's what i find great about our festival right there.
really fucking happy to get iron maiden back again

[freerange]

thievery corp check

[gregoir]

And mad heady points to freerange for saying his festival has gone electro and not techno. As there are no techno artists on that bill.

[freerange]

that nicklenack booking is rough...fist time in bluesfest's history they've booked them
leads me to ask why now?
also leads me to say
fuck chad kroeger or whatever

[gregoir]

I bet the Lauryn Hill show will be awesome. I am not one to sit down and listen to her music but I bet she will put on a great show. Girl can sing.

[deadandgrateful]

i saw paul oakenfold at Club Royale in boston. He put on Quite the amazing show!

[kramer]

I'm happy to hear Gregoir and I are on the same page! I was gonna recommend Theivery Corp and !!! too! Gneub note: !!! Is pronounced "chk chk chk" or 3 clicks of the tongue. I haven't heard the name paul oakenfold since HS, can't blv he's still around!!

[Kuzsin]

.....i'm going to the come up festival......which has a large amount of djs.............and i'm not sure of who they are........i like the more ambient progressive psy trance of electronica ........and cant stand the fake just press play and pump their fist bullshit that is everywhere these days..... i hate dubstep/hardcore.......anyone recommend any of these people????...... http://www.comeupmus...d=92&Itemid=473 thnx.

[Kuzsin]

.........there's onlt a FEW ACTS I WANT TO CATCH AT THIS fest....i dont say that too often ..........dirty paris...higher organix...alchamystics....jeff bujak...and cyborg trio....thats it..terrible....looks like a youngin fest too.

[Spidergawd]

Nickleback shouldn't play anywhere ever.

Nickleback shouldn't play anywhere ever.

Nickelback shouldn't play anywhere ever.

[Stanimal]

you have zero good bands on there

The Tedeschi, Trucks Band are better then good!...and I will admit there are many on that list I've never heard of.

[Lazy Lightning]

Beirut will be awesome

This.

Beirut IS awesome.

[Lazy Lightning]

Zeus, Norah Jones, TCorp, and Billy Bragg would all be on my list to check out, too.
