mfwahl Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 I gotta say this lineup kind of sucks. Ryan Adams is already playing in Florida, so I'll probably go see that date and skip this festival. bobbob, you planning on going to this?We are pleased to announce the initial artist lineup for the 2009 Langerado Music Festival, being held March 6-7-8 at Bicentennial Park, nestled alongside Biscayne Bay in downtown Miami! We are excited to have put together a lineup as diverse as the population of South Florida, representing a wide variety of the music Langerado has welcomed in the past. We're thrilled to be bringing back some much loved friends, in addition to an incredible roster of performers making their first appearances at Langerado. We hope you'll join us this spring for the 7th annual Langerado Music Festival! 2009 Initial Artist Lineup Death Cab For Cutie Quote Link to post Share on other sites
remphish1 Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Doesn't even hold a candle to last year! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tangara Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 If I lived nearby, and it was reasonably priced, I'd probably go and check out: Death Cab For Cutie Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mfwahl Posted December 9, 2008 Author Share Posted December 9, 2008 Doesn't even hold a candle to last year!I didn't go last year because I had just seen Dr. Dog, Wilco wasn't playing, the National got a really short set (like 45min?), and the schedule was horribly set up. Last year's schedule now looks amazing compared to this. I'm interested to see what Bonnaroo's lineup will look like this year. A lot of these festivals that got off the ground because of the jamband scene are now going very mainstream and turning into mini Woodstock II's. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bobbob1313 Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 I'll probably be able to get a press pass to this, so I'll be there. It's a very strange lineup, with a lot of bands that I absolutely despise, and a lot that I like a lot. It's very spread out and random. Should draw a very interesting crowd. I'll go to see these: Death Cab For CutieSnoop DoggThievery CorporationRyan Adams and the CardinalsThe PoguesMatisyahuFlogging MollyBroken Social SceneRobert Randolph & The Family BandCold War KidsPublic EnemyGirl TalkMute MathBad BrainsAgainst Me!George Clinton & Parliament / FunkadelicTokyo Police ClubThe Gaslight Anthem There's more than enough there for me to make the 30 minute drive. Just wish it was out at Big Cypress like last year. No camping is really lame. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stewart Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 It's a very strange lineup, with a lot of bands that I absolutely despise, That's the list I'd rather see from you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bobbob1313 Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 That's the list I'd rather see from you. Well, actually only two bands that I really dislike (Dashboard, Gym Class Heroes) and a bunch that I just find really boring (the jam bands). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stewart Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 What's the deal with Umphrey's McGee? They always play around here and I assume they're awful. Anyone know? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stickman Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 I ordered an Uncle Tupelo poster and received an Umphrey's McGee poster. They aren't to be trusted. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mfwahl Posted December 10, 2008 Author Share Posted December 10, 2008 What's the deal with Umphrey's McGee? They always play around here and I assume they're awful. Anyone know?They're talented musicians. A guess they're a jamband. They play a lot of covers. Every time I've seen them a lot of hot chicks have been there. I would go to a show to get laid but I wouldn't buy one of their records. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I haven't seen them in years, but when I did it was a sausage party. They are kinda proggish, jam band shredders. Tight, but not particularly compelling to my ears.

Tight, but not particularly compelling to my ears.Well, the time I was thinking of specifically was in Atlanta where hot chicks are into good music and getting trashed. And they played a lot of covers. They sounded like what I imagine it would sound like if Frank Zappa played your wedding. I was up front dancing and it was all females.' But yeah proggish, jam bad shredders is a good way to put it. They're talented but completely devoid of soul Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mfwahl Posted January 28, 2009 Author Share Posted January 28, 2009 Just added to lineup: Modest MouseGene Ween BandDeerhunterAlberta Cross Gene Ween would have sealed the deal for me, but too late now. I'm saving my money for Phish in TN. Got my tickets today! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bobbob1313 Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Can't seem to find anything except at Brooklyn Vegan, and they've got no confirmation. I'm holding out hope. http://www.langerado.com/2009/langerad09.p...ec=13&id=86 Yup. That sucks. We were doing a bunch of coverage for this for the paper, so now we have to scramble to make up a bunch of stories over the next month. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
