lizish Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Yeah - recognize some of the names on the list. Turns out Rob and Crystal's daughter was in a singing group with the daughter of a close friend in North Vancouver. Small world coming together to help. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tinnitus photography Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 maybe i missed it but given the late date and lack of annonucement, i guess SBS 2023 is a no-go? didn't they have a three year contract? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sonnyfeeling Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 As I understand it, the event is every other year, just like Solid Sound. So far it's been 2020 and 2022, so the next one should be January 2024... And if past experience is any indication, it will be announced in May 2023. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

(weird that no one posted about it already... slackers! or just indifferent?) I was waiting for you to post about it. Nah, I should've but I've got family emergencies going on (everybody is mostly ok) so I've been distracted. I do appreciate you posting about it. It's a very nice lineup and I'm trying to convince myself I can afford it. I wish it wasn't in December but I suppose that's the sweet season down there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Madcap Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 The first two were amazing but this lineup doesn’t really do anything for me so I think we’ll be skipping it. Gives me an excuse to think about doing my first solid sound next year though! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I still have a bitter taste in my mouth over how Cloud 9 handled the last one. I'm going to Newport FF in July so, as much as I loved the first one, I think we're gonna pass on Sky Blue Sky.

I'll come right out and say it...I'm pretty much retired from Wilco over that experience. Tweedy and his lawyer could have gone to bat for his fans in a number of ways and at least tried to find some kind of a solution, but he chose not to. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tinnitus photography Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 the band signed a contract to perform at a four day event. what the hell was his lawyer gonna do? sorry you're over Wilco and it was obv a tough decision for some folks given the uncertainty, but everyone i saw at the last SBS event had a good time.

Freedy Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 It's WAY outside my budget (the last two times as well, but it seems to have gone up in price far beyond the inflation rate in the USA) but I'm a huge FJM and Sylvan Esso fan, so I'm happy for those who can make it. I do wonder if opening it up to a second hotel means the crowd will be much bigger? That doesn't seem awesome. But Mexico is beautiful and going there and hanging out while listening to some amazing artists, does sound a good time. Enjoy those who can make it! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lawyers break or renegotiate contracts everyday. No contract is ironclad, and if Wilcos lawyer thinks contracts are unbreakable, they need a better lawyer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jff Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 2 hours ago, tinnitus photography said: they canceled because Mayer got covid before the event. That's less than half the story, and the irrelevant part, at that. Dead and Company were offering refunds at the end of December (with the full intention of the festival going on for those who chose to attend.) Mayer got Covid on January 5, which forced the cancellation. But that happened a week after refunds were offered. https://variety.com/2021/music/news/dead-company-refunds-festival-mexico-covid-concerns-1235144609/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HeavyMetalDrummist Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 I really want to go but need a roommate. If anyone else is a single and looking for a plus one, let me know. Caveat: I'm a little weird and require another person who's also a little weird. Not too weird, though. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Again, you’ve misrepresented the situation, this time by conflating “pulling the plug” with “offering refunds.” I’m sure you’re correct about them (Dead and Co) having better lawyers, though. That seems plainly apparent, and is frankly the most favorable light in which to view this if you’re looking to excuse Tweedy. The alternative, less favorable view, is that Tweedy does have great lawyers but he chose not to go to bat for his fans. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
