Bands You Are Excited For!
« Thread Started on Feb 17, 2009, 5:14pm »
So we have all digested and redigested this lineup at least 10 times over at this point. There are doubts, confusions and disappointments with the lineup.

Now, for everyone that plans on going or wishes they could, lets talk about the bands that get us to the Gorge, and dream at night of seeing these bands playing.

For me, the list is actually quite long:

TVOTR
Fleet Foxes
Girl Talk (can anyone say, DANCE PARTY?)
Bon Iver( i hope to God this is on the mainstage, as the sun is setting)
Passion Pit (have wanted to see these guys for quite some time)
M83( In the words of my friend "IM gonna have sex while theyre playing"
Animal Collective (tentatively, best album of 2009)
Santigold(this years MIA)
Shearwater
Gogol Bordello (everything i ahve ever heard about them is positive. Supposedly the shows are amazing)
Of Montreal

There's more.
But share your favorites!

The Decemberists-I've been wanting to see them live for almost 4 years now. Now, I get to see them, plus a ton of other bands. I'm glad this will be my first time.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs-Maybe not the greatest as far as beautiful music goes, but what they lack in technical skill, they more than make up for in raw energy.

Girl Talk!!!

and a lot of the smaller bands(listed a few in the line-up thread up top).

The 3 I'm most excited for right now are Explosions, Bon Iver and M83 just because they are both such big shocks.
I haven't really listened to Gogol Bordello or Monotonix much, but everyone has been saying they are both insane live. Same deal with Girl Talk, though I've listened to Feed The Animals quite a lot.
Looking forward to seeing Fleet Foxes again, though I just saw them a few months ago. Same with The Walkmen. Both amazing live.
Also Animal Collective, Doves, Peter Bjorn and John, The Dodos, Grizzly Bear, Bishop Allen, Beach House...the list goes on and on.

Really hope the conflicts won't be too horrific this year.

I've had the whole day to think about it, and aside from (redundancy ahead) the headliners, this year is > last year.

The bands that are mighty exciten

Kings Of Leon - never seen them live but i love their earlier albums and would be stoked if they played a mostly older set

Explosions In The Sky- AMAZIN!!!

of Montreal- im a recent fan but as before with KOL im a fan of their older stuff not to keen on skeletal lamping

King Khan & The Shrines- heard they are pretty good from a friend

and of course IF patton oswalt is at the comedy tent then hell yeah

I haven't listened to any of the bands since the lineup was announced, so there are only bands I already knew about:

Yeah Yeah Yeahs
The Decemberists
Devotchka
Ra Ra Riot (Even though I'm seeing them in May w/ Death Cab and Cold War Kids)
Passion Pit
Nine Inch Nails (Even though I saw them in Portland last year, and was kind of underwhelmed)
Fleet Foxes
Explosions In The Sky (I would probably pay $150 just to see them)

I'm sure this list will get bigger once I listen to the other bands.

Well Doves & Bon Iver are now two of my favs. Passion Pit is pretty bomb too.

I just need to keep listening to all of them. NIN & JA still won't do it for me though
