This year’s pre-Fourth of July Motherfucker bash included a performance by one of my favorite contemporary Brit bands, The Futureheads.
I am tired, so I’ll update this space with some more interesting commentary later…
For now, photos:
I also got to watch Amanda Lepore and her crew film a segment for David Casey‘s upcoming film about Motherfucker (which wrapped tonight) in the “interview” room. I LOVE Swedish fish, which I ate the entire time.
StarTime and Crumpler will be letting the first 50 people through the door with proof of a ticket to the June 30th Futureheads/French Kicks show at Webster Hall. Once in, you’ll instantly be entered to win 1 of 10 of the Futureheads/Crumpler bags. The band will also be on hand to say hi, have a chat, give away some lovely swag, and of course, share a pint. This is all happening at Crumpler Bags (West Village) @ 49 8th Ave. – corner of Horatio & W. 4th St. – Thursday 6.29.06 @ 7:30PM to 9:30PM
Crumpler bags are awesome. They are my camera bag of choice!
Franz Ferdinand, Kaiser Chiefs, Belle & Sebastian, Fall Out Boy, The Subways, Panic! at the Disco, Muse, Arctic Monkeys, The Streets, Dirty Pretty Things, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Futureheads, The Cribs, Wolfmother, Placebo, My Chemical Romance, Maximo Park, The Rakes, The Kooks, and many more.
With a lineup like that I’ve got half a mind to attend…but I’ve never been to a festival before and I want to know more about what they are like. I think we’ve all seen those bonker photos of tents floating away in the rain, and mudcovered teenagers who look like they haven’t slept in a few days.
But for those of you who have actual first-hand experience, do you have any tips or stories to share? Did you camp? Where did you travel from? Was it just great fun, or was it just a big fat mess? Would you recommend attending, or skipping it in favor or something less…massive.
Or are you actually planning to be at this year’s festival? I’d love to read your comments.
Photos from tonight’s Shout Out Louds and Futureheads show at the Bowery Ballroom (where Elijah Wood was spotted bopping his head in the middle of the crowd):
Oh, last week we saw Kasabian and The Music at Irving Plaza. We’ll write about it at a later time.
