aricandover Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 I was just thinking, there are rumblings of a new Loose Fur record in the not so distant future... I feel like that's been rumored for the last 5-6 years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tinnitus photography Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 I asked Jeff that at the press conference they held the first two years. He basically said it's up to Jim. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
slippinshoes Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Some wishful thinking/general thoughts on the lineup: Friday Set: I feel like Wilco wouldn't necessarily repeat themselves. If they did stick with the shtick of something special on Friday (like the covers and acoustic set), I feel like playing Star Wars and Schmilco in full, an all-request set, or playing a classic album would be pretty great. There are so many band's I think would be touring around that time that would be perfect for the festival. Tortoise and Lambchop come to mind. Maybe the Sea and Cake? On Fillmore would be likely as they're doing Big Ears as well. I'm really hoping that this is the year Jim O'Rourke plays. It'd be cool to see him close out the festival on Sunday after so much anticipation. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

surprisetruck Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Mekons would be fantastic! They've been especially prolific lately and supposedly have two records in the pipeline for next 2017. Love most of the suggestions so far, especially Courtney B and the Mountain Goats. Would love to see some Mass representation from the Lemonheads (30th anniversary next year) or Miacle Legion.

shawnsolo73 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 I'm hoping that Grandaddy will be there. They've been playing festivals lately and have a couple new songs so even though I think it's unlikely I can still hope. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Would love to see some Mass representation from the Lemonheads (30th anniversary next year) or Miacle LegionAll of these would tickle me greatly. I've seen Courtney at a small club nearby and she was great. Mark Mulcahy played SS several years back so I could see Miracle Legion as a real possibility. I would definitely love to see them; they were a local favorite here in New Haven back in the day. Never seen the Lemonheads but would love that too. Oh the possibilities!

rhino4evr Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Miracle Legion just announced that they are playing MASS MOCA in April...would they play the same venue twice in one year? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tinnitus photography Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 sure. it's not like anyone is specifically buying a SSF ticket just because Miracle Legion is on the bill.although i guess the converse could be true. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ottawateeth Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 I'm hoping that Grandaddy will be there. They've been playing festivals lately and have a couple new songs so even though I think it's unlikely I can still hope. Grandaddy's new album is finished. It would be great if they were on the bill along with Sea and Cake, Lambchop, Teenage Fanclub, Andy Shauf, Sleater-Kinney, The Wedding Present, Thee Oh Sees, Hamilton Leithauser/Rostam, Le Tigre, Courtney Barnett, Whitney, Steve Gunn, Cloud Nothings, Eleanor Friedberger, Ex-Hex, Wolf Parade, Hiss Golden Messanger, the Men, Richard Buckner, the Mountain Goats, Bob Mould, M. Ward and British Sea Power Quote Link to post Share on other sites
surprisetruck Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Richard Buckner would be wonderful, as would Okkervil River or Msrk Eitzel. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Inside of Outside Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 With 237 days until Solid Sound, I am going to begin to delve deeper into the artists who have a connection to Wilco who have not yet played the festival (bands who have stopped by the Loft, bands who have recently opened for Wilco, bands on Wilco's Spotify list, etc.). Courtney Barnett, Steve Gunn, Kevin Morby, Big Thief, Kacy & Clayton - all part of this fall and winter's listening. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
twoshedsjackson Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 I'm hoping for Sheer Mag. Great young band from Philly. Jeff's a big fan. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
