shawnsolo73 Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 I've looked a few pages deep and didn't see anyone else asking about this. Forgive me if it's a part of another thread. Who do you think / hope will be a part of Solid Sound 2017 other than Wilco and their side projects? There are a few I'd love to see but don't think it's realistic. I have no real predictions but my wish list would include Rev. Horton Heat - would be fun to see them in this settingThe Lees of Memory - kind of shoegaze but I think they'd be well recievedLord Huron - way too big now but it would still be great if it happenedYo La Tengo - I know they've already played it man...I'd love for that to happenNathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats - I stumbled into one of their shows by chance and they blew my doors off. This will be the first time I'm able to make the trip so I can't wait to hear an official announcement / lineup. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Inside of Outside Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 As mentioned elsewhere, Courtney Barnett could be a good match, though she may be a bigger act than is usual for SS. I'd love to see The Jayhawks. Love their recent record. And Jeff and Gary could do "Radio King". This could offer some insight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jff Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 In light of Jeff Tweedy's glowing appraisal of Big Thief, I would expect them to be on the bill. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Magnetized Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Mass MoCA just shared a post from Dinosaur Jr extolling the virtues of the Berkshires and western Mass. And at one of the past Solid Sounds--maybe 2013?--J Mascis was seen walking around the festival grounds. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jbray Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 As mentioned elsewhere, Courtney Barnett could be a good match, though she may be a bigger act than is usual for SS.I'd say Courtney is only so much bigger on the scene than Mac DeMarco, like she made it to SNL, I guess. But I would put money on her and the band because of the combo interview with Jeff as well as Jeff and Spencer's appearance in the "Elevator Operator" video. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
worldrecordplayer Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 YLT has already appeared at SS. Don't know if that "disqualifies" them from appearing again, but just sayin. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mariana neri Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Courtney Barnett, Jim O'Rourke, Father John Misty Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'd take either a J Mascis solo show or Dinosaur Jr. gladly...I've heard of but never heard Courtney Barnett. I'll have to fix that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rhino4evr Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 J Mascis played a few tracks with Mark Mulcahy in 2013...speaking of...would LOVE a Miracle Legion show. They have been playing reunion shows for the past summer. It seems like it Solid Sound may not happen next year though...wouldn't they have announced it by now?

nalafej Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Whitney has been getting praise from Jeff and John recently. They'd be good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

According to Tony Margherita on Twitter, they'll be announcing dates in September. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Yaz Rock Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Joseph Arthur. More of a wishlist item than prediction. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rhino4evr Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 So..for shits and giggles I decided to to snoop around hotels.com to look for available rooms in June 2017. To no surprise it appears the main hotel in N.Adams is completely booked on the weekend of June 23rd-June 26th. Since this is typically around the time when wilco holds Solid Sound , I find this peculiar. I also noticed a large number of hotels are also booked this weekend. When there is smoke.... I was able to find a motel that allowed me to reserve that weekend without putting money down...just in case. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Robby Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Courtney Barnett has a great performance on NPR's Tiny Desk Concert, but her performance on SNL was killer - it's probably somewhere on the internets. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paulcalypse Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 I'm thinking Chastity Belt. Booked a room already. Hope we picked the right weekend! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
