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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.
