Can I get some song suggestion for these bands at the All Points West Festival?

musiklvr	Date: June 27, 2008 @ 7:45 AM I am going to the All Points West Concert to see Jack Johnson. But I also want to get to know some of the other acts in the show because I am not as familiar with them. The lineup is here (http://www.apwfestival.com/event/lineup) and I am going to the sunday show, so any suggestions you can give me would be very helpful. Also I registered at http://www.flickr.com/groups/jackatapwfest/ for free tickets to the show, so if I win I may be looking to sell my ticket master tickets at a discount price if anyone would be interested. Thank you so much for your help! Hope to see you guys at the show!
ShadowMom	Date: June 27, 2008 @ 8:01 AM Hmm...looks indie, but this would have made a nice news story. And you posted in the wrong forum, so I moved it here. Let's see who has heard of these artists (okay, Radiohead and Jack Johnson aside! ).
musiklvr	Date: June 27, 2008 @ 8:31 AM Thanks for the correction, yes any advice would be helpful
Mojosnake	Date: June 27, 2008 @ 2:55 PM im kinda confused...what is it exactly you want?
Israfel	Date: June 27, 2008 @ 5:33 PM He's asking if you've heard of any of the other artists playing on the night he's going to the show. Sheesh! That wasn't that hard to figure out, mojo! Seriously, haven't heard of most of them but I have heard Robyn and if you like kind of interesting, off center stuff you might like her. She's from Sweden. Not that that makes her interesting or off center!
Mojosnake	Date: June 27, 2008 @ 5:38 PM then he should just do what i do when i hear of a band i've never heard of GOOGLE or YOUTUBE there hasent been any band i havent been able to hear that way even indies and unsingned ...and geez EVERYBODY has a myspace so there MARY
zedsalt	Date: June 28, 2008 @ 3:28 AM The Blue Comet stage has some of the better...what would you call them? "Lesser knowns"? I've always liked Michael Franti & Spearhead. Animal Collective was GREAT on a late night talkshow I saw them on recently. I'm not a big Jack Johnson fan, myself, but I've been absolutely blown away by Ben Harper ever since I saw him as Leonard Cohen's lead pleayer (by the same token, I'm the type who would also probably skip Radiohead to see Andrew Bird). And while "sitting through" Cat Power would be far from a chore, I'd be all giddy waiting for Rodrigo y Gabriela (jaw-dropping acoustic guitar stuff). There's a great lineup at a festival a little closer to home for me, but the ad I saw listed the location as Rothbury, Michigan, and there isn't a Rothbury, Michigan in the Atlas. Anybody know where the Rothbury Festival is going to be held?
musiklvr	Date: June 30, 2008 @ 9:04 AM yeah. i know how to youtube and google artists. just looking for opinions from the masses. from the real fans. i see zedsalt is not so interested in cat power, but i must say, she is the unknown artist i am excited about the most to see. as well as rodrigo y gabriela. i know thats going to be good for sure. i will enjoy a hot dog as i partake in their guitar licks. thanx for the responses so far. animal collective seems like they will be fantastic by far!
zedsalt	Date: July 1, 2008 @ 3:19 AM Oh, don't get me wrong; I've been enjoying Cat Power for years...a couple/few spots on CMJ New Music Monthly discs, the Austin City Limits appearance, etc. She's been one of "the faces of the Indie scene" for a while now, and deservedly so. This ought to be a great show, and it's really nice to see a little variety in the booking. What was it they said in the old Pogo cartoons? "We are confronted with an abundance of opportunity"? Yeah, words to that effect.
musiklvr	Date: July 7, 2008 @ 7:21 AM Oh yeah, Cat Power should be great, I have never seen them live before, so it should be a good time.
