Mother Fucking B.O.M.B Fest

Holy shit... I did not see this coming from BOMB fest. The line up is so dope! What an improvement over last year, and two days will make this an official festival. Kudos to everyone involved with making this happen in Connecticut. There will be a lot of people from NYC that will take the train up and that will help our local music get recognition by people that would otherwise not come to CT. I can not wait to see all of these bands! The festival will take place in Danbury this year, at Western's festival grounds. Early bird tickets are on sale now you can grab them for $89 RIGHT HERE.  Check out more info about everything at their website. RSVP HERE.

Coachella '11

BE THERE

Elm City Popfest May 14-15

The Elm City Popfest returns this weekend for three days and 17 bands of indie-pop revelry in the southern section of CT. Following the success of the first Elm City Popfest this past November, festival organizer and Tweefort/Feburary Records founder Danny Goodwin had to dig deeper this time around in order to top the original. Doubling in size, this installment of Elm City Popfest offers a range of local, regional, national and even international talent. Also, in addition to Artspace, there will be shows held at New Haven's 'Cafe Nine'. Head on over to CT Indie for the low down on what's happening and who is playing where. There is going to be tons of local talent like The Wee Bees and Womens Basketball playing so be sure to get out and support your local indie music.

Lollapalooza has just announced their 2010 line up and it looks decent. The headliners suck, Soundgarden (meh)  Green Day (BARF!) Lada Gaga (kill me).
