Ah, at last, a few good reasons to go to Bumbershoot this year. One Reel has announced that they’ve added this delightful collection of freakishly talented musicians:
As well as these lovely lads from Austin:
And last, but hardly least, the queen herself:
The full schedule can be viewed here.
You mind telling us who that first band is?
The New Pornographers, IIRC. They're all for swinging you around :P
I think the main guy from Spoon lives in Portland these days, but this info may be bullshit as it's based in hipster circle gossip & innuendo.
Yes, that's the New Pornographers. And regardless of her current age or appearance (I still think she's gorgeous), I love that picture of Debbie. That's a friggin' hotel key stashed in her mini skirt. H-O-T.
Steve Miller?? Maybe I'm biased against the classic rock, but I'd have figured him more for the Emerald Queen Casino than Bumbershoot.
Pompatus of Love, indeed
Emerald Queen?! Steve Miller?? C'mon, Miller is really one of the geat 70's rock/ blues guitar players and made a couple of the best albums ever. Rolling Stone would agree, I think there are two or three Miller albums in their top albums of all time. This guy would sell out 20 nights in a row at Emerald Queen. It's great to see Bumbershoot booking young and relevant rock bands, throwing in a lot of hip hop, but not ignoring great 'older' shit like Blondie and Steve Miller. The stadium lineup at Bumbershoot this year is probably their strongest ever. And thank god it's not just a rehash of bonarroocoachellastreetscenesummerfestlollapalooza
Why can't bands ever smile in their pictures? They all look the same with their frowniness.
I suppose it's supposed to show their devotion to their music or something, but it's as hackneyed and silly as those grinning choral groups of the 60's.
Smile Already! I bet they all have lovely smiles.
At least they're looking at the camera. I hate leafing through a music magazine and seeing pages upon pages of musicians who won't even look at the damn camera.
BEHAR!!!!!! He usually shows up for the Seattle shows. I am so there
The New Pornos opposite Dengue Fever? Frickin' bogus!

Debbie Harry hasn't looked like that since I was a baby.
