ACL 2018 lineup is out this morning! So many TMIS artists, the whole bill looks like fantastic fun. Wilderado will be there Weekend One only (a lot of the smaller bands are just one or the other weekend but most big names are both -- like Wombats this time 'round). Just some of the other mid-to-lower billed Most Important featured bands: Gang of Youths, Twin Shadow, Parquet Courts, ARIZONA, Alvvays, flor, Sir Sly, tired of linking... most of the headliners/second billing... And I'm going to say Paul McCartney counts, as well! Anyway, VIP & Platinum prices are INSANE so grab your GA badge while you can. Or wait for the summer single-day lineup/ticket release if you can somehow decide on just one day.
P.S. This song has been out for about a month and I love it and I'm excited to see Wilderado on the ACL list, but they are ALSO coming here to Stubb's in May with FOXTRAX so that sounds really fun too. Check out below if they're touring near you!
Lola Marsh - Wishing Girl
Here's a delightfully peppy tune to start your week off right. Lola Marsh is an Israeli duo we serendipitously discovered during SXSW, while simply ducking into the Swan Dive for a drink between must-see acts on our agenda. Her live energy immediately infected me with just the right verve to dance instead of rest, and made me remember to expect more such revelations throughout the week, or just maybe always around the corner.
Upcoming Shows
VHS Collection - Sign
We've taken a long break from blogging so I have quite a backlog on my intending-to-post list. I've been listening to this track since November 2017 (that seems ages ago, yeah?) but now is a perfect time to share, since VHSC have just released their next new single ("One"). They're touring CA and the NE this summer. First ever full album dropping later this year! Anyhoooo, happy practically-weekend and I'm making a public promise to post at least weekly again going forward.
