Sled Island 2011

[keith.]

first wave:
"Sleep, Chad VanGaalen, The Dandy Warhols, The Greenhornes, Blonde Redhead, The Buzzcocks, Of Montreal....Stay tuned for more bands this week!"

WELP IM GOING.
i was already sold when i heard Bogus Tokus was one of the curators this year for picking bands but SLEEP!? fuuuuck. GOING.

[Jordan f.]

Ended up at some sled island house shows last year. Not my crowd so I wasn't into it but if you can get down with it, it looks like a party.

[grind/bro]

Sleep + crap

[KYLESTYLE]

sled island is the best thing i've ever been to. so worth it. so, so, so many bands and shows and parties and people and good times.

[Hollow]

Hmmm...Sleep and the Buzzcocks? That's almost worth going on it's own...when is this?

[kay]

I'll be in Calgary for this for sure. I might just go to the after parties though depending on how much it costs to get into individual shows. Presale wristbands are $165, that's way too much for me.

[Andrew]

I'd be into seeing Blonde Redhead and the Buzzcocks the most from the bands announced so far.

[keith.]

yea i need to jump on this "cheap" presale price because its only gonna go up. but i cant until i see some solid dates posted for it. but with the festival itsself, and all the cheap "freelandia" shows that will be going on this is totally worth it

edit
oh wait
june 22 - 25

[grungePIG]

already bought my wristband. last year it was one of the best weekends of the summer...can't wait.

[Hollow]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA $165? Fuck that.

[dalamar501]

the atmosphere around this fest is really appealing to me compared to victoria's rifflandia. if i had the time i would definitely go over to this fest. also a lot of free stuff going on too.

= more douchebag hipsters, fewer squares

[destroy]

SLEEP would be cool, but welp... looks like I'll be on tour, goin' back to Cali with my Ballys on.

[stumped.]

mayyyybe next year

[keith.]

Chali 2na, Braids, Kurt Vile and the Violators, Alberta Cross, The Raveonettes and Hunx and His Punx! So many more coming soon!!

eh. buncha shit i dont care about now.
COME ON SLED ISLAND. YOUR LINE UP LAST YEAR BLEW ME AWAY.

[kay]

Braids are great!

[Peter]

Oh man! Alberta Cross?
Kyle if you don't go see Alberta Cross when you go I'll be so disappointed.

Wish I could go, but between vacation in April and a Road trip in August it just isn't in the cards.

Damn you music festivals.

i've never listened to alberta cross, but i read some reviews and it looks like it's up my alley so i plan on listenin' to broken side of time a couple times today.
not sure if i will be able to afford sled island or be able to go, but i hope i can...
