| I don't care - as long as the Knitting Factory has nothing to do with the whole thing, I'm happy. |

| Hmm I haven't heard of any of those bands. Anybody have some thoughts in them? |

delicate steve are pretty cool but I only saw them live so no idea of albums worth checking out
I've heard a few pictureplane songs that are pretty great as well
Cave Singers and Maldives are seattle institutions but I think both are pretty boring |

| Sallie Ford shouldn't be missed. Strong pipes that female has. |

| Thanks for the info. It's nice that someone has stepped up to show others that Boise can be a viable tour stop from Seattle/Portland to Salt Lake and vice-versa. Often times, bands stay here on their off-day or just see it as another place to fill up on gas. |
