The Inside of Outside Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Fairly random, but Graham Parker does live in the Hudson Valley. As a solo act, I believe he has played small places north of NYC for years. And he stars in Judd Apatow's new movie that also has a Wilco song on the soundtrack. Not a strong connection, but a thread maybe. Hopefully his current tour lasts longer than the dates he has scheduled for this month, which I guess it will. Maybe all the way to June???? Now that I think of it, SS 2 had veteran acts - The Levon Helm Band, Syl Johnson and the Sweet Devines, Dave Douglas, Neil Finn of Pajama Club - I could see Graham Parker and the Rumour fitting in at SS 3.

A heart I know by heart Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Anyone ever hear of Steven Kellogg and the Sixers? Good band with a vibe that might fit in well... Would like an announcement soon! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
linclink Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Hey Wilco, invite Graham Parker & the Rumour! Just saw them in Newton, N.J. ...absolutely great show. I would love to see them at Solid Sound! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kidsmoke Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 I agree, but is this just a random thought, or is there some connection that I'm not aware of? It's just a random impulse, Diane, but I just got to see them at the Record Release Party for "This is 40", and they damn near blew my soul shoes off my feet!!! I could see them being a wonderful fit for Solid Sound. Fun, energetic...just a brilliant band. Two of the Rumour come from Nick lowe's original pub band, Brinsley Schwarz. (guitarist Brinsley Schwarz and Keyboard player Bob Andrews)...I guess that's a bit of a connection. They'd be such a fun addition. They ended the show the other night with a kickass version of the Jacksons' "I Want You Back". Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jimtweedy1977 Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Oh yeah, Sean Lennon would be a good addition. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bböp Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Not really a surprise, but Solid Sound Festival just posted this on Facebook, referring to Nels' duo with Julian Lage: Rumor has it this amazing pair might appear at Solid Sound this summer: http://nyti.ms/ZEVt32 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Angelo1 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I'd love to see Father John Misty and Langhorne Slim. I'm pretty sure Wilco and the Fleet Foxes have played together so there's some history with FJM. Not sure about Slim but I'm sure he'd fit in with the festival like a glove.

50footqueenie Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Low (presumably Alan Sparhawk) on Twitter, answering a fan query on why they weren't playing Boston on their next tour, said it was because 'think that we are playing the Solid Sound Festival' (sic) Oh yes...

I heard the same thing a while back from a friend who had been to see Nels play at one of his recent gigs. He was chatting with him afterwards and Nels said they were coming. He wasn't sure it was OK to post the info but since it's now coming from two sources, it seems fine to mention it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Heart full of holes Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Comedy line up is posted on solidsoundfestival.com Music news soon ... I hope. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Magnetized Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 John Hodgman, Al Madrigal, Reggie Watts and Jen Kirkland, in case you don't want to look it up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
worldrecordplayer Posted January 30, 2013 Author Share Posted January 30, 2013 And it's Jen Kirkman (not Kirkland). She's one of the regulars on Chelsea Lately, and a very funny person. @JenKirkman on Twitter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paulcalypse Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Of my entire list of people/bands I wanted to see at SS '13, Reggie Watts was at the top. Suddenly I'm even more excited for June to come (didn't think that was possible.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Magnetized Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Of my entire list of people/bands I wanted to see at SS '13, Reggie Watts was at the top. Suddenly I'm even more excited for June to come (didn't think that was possible.) Wow, that's exciting for you. I don't think I've ever heard of him, but it's encouraging to hear that he has such a big fan. Anything in particular you suggest we should check out? I googled him and came up with a video about blowjobs that didn't seem very amusing. But hopefully that's not the best thing he's ever done! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RaspberryJam Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I think Reggie Watts is fantastic-a true original. I would argue that maybe he is more of a performance artist; in the vein of Andy Kaufman. Google his TED presentation. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mpolak21 Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Yeah, I love Reggie Watts. Super funny and talented dude. He does a lot of the music for the show "Louie" on FX, that's him leading the way on the remake of Hot Chocolate's Brother Louie that the show uses as it's theme song. --Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
double A-ron Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I am assuming there will be a Retribution Gospel and separate Low shows with the EP featuring Nels. Would love to see:Lady Lamb the BeekeeperDebo BandTinariwenWoodsDeep Dark WoodsJim James or Carl BromelMalkmusAntibalasEbo Taylor Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tinnitus photography Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 isn't Malkmus still living in Germany? a solo SM show would rule, though. i like some of yr other choices as well (Tinariwen seems definitely possible, as does Debo Band). i wanna see Ty Segall added. Kurt Vile would work nicely too. and please please please Giant Sand! it's been over a decade since Howe's played near me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
-seven Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Giant Sand / Howe Gelb would be so great. Last time I had tickets was a few years ago and a snow storm kept me from going. He'd be perfect in one of those small spaces in the museum. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JAK2112 Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I'm hoping this is the year Jim O'Rourke makes an appearance. I remember talking to the organizer of Solid Sound this past September, because he also puts on Grace Potters festival up in Vermont. I asked him about O'Rourke and he said that it comes up every year, it's just hard to get him out of Japan apparently. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
