TCP Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 I was not planning on going but that's a pretty compelling line up. A lot of artists with genuine AOTY contenders... Joanna Sternberg, Wednesday, Ratboys. Isbell will be a crowd pleaser for sure. 6 hours ago, Boss_Tweedy said: Wow! Wednesday and Ratboys were two of the three bands on my wishlist.

I can't remember but I may also expressed hope for a fourth band, Sweeping Promises. Regardless I'm extremely excited about this lineup! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Madcap Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 Will be my first SSF and while I am honestly fairly underwhelmed by the lineup (was hoping for someone I liked a little more than Isbell for the main non-Wilco act), I am excited to dig into some of these other bands. Have already listened to some Fenne Lily, Hailu Mergia, Ratboys and Mary Halvorsen and really am enjoying those, so hopefully the rest of my exploring will be as fruitful!

I'm not a huge fan of Jason Isbell, but his live shows are excellent. Another of the young bands you should check out is Wednesday. They're my favorite musical discovery of 2023. Here's a great 30-minute documentary on the band that was released not long ago. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lost highway Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 Don't sleep on Horsegirl either folks. That was one of the more exciting 2022 discoveries for me. Like that hip Alvvays band if they were scrappier, kind of the punk tinged side of Sonic Youth mingling with the shoegaze elements. Wish I could go! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tinnitus photography Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 Horse Lords swerves much farther into the Ranaldo/Moore guitar fuckery lane, without sounding like SY at all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Having gone since 2013, I think this is the lineup announcement that had the fewest artists that I readily knew well. That being said, this week has been incredibly fruitful in new listening. The band remain excellent curators and the lineup feels really eclectic. While I'm sure others might feel differently about a festival lineup/an event they attend, I've taken the approach of looking at the lineup as the live version of the band's year-end recommendations. I don't think there's ever been an artist where I was underwhelmed or disappointed with on the day. I think it'll be a good first Solid Sound. So much of what makes the festival special is the vibe itself. Plus, we ultimately get two Wilco shows at the best museum. Far as I'm concerned, I already made out like a bandit. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
summerdai Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Don't know too many of these but will prepare. I do know that Nick Lowe is brilliant When does the announcement about the content of Wilco's Fri night set normally come? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Did seem interesting that they chose a Mermaid Avenue song to throw onto this year's festival playlist before one of the new album cuts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Though that Mermaid Avenue possibility has be intrigued as hell. Do they still have beef with Bragg or has that blown over with time? Be cool to get him out for a Mermaid Ave set.

kidsmoke Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 This is off-topic a bit but in organizing my old ssf souvenirs, I've discovered I have an extra little Solid Sound #6 schedule booklet from 2019. I don't need this extra so if somebody out there needs a ssf souvenir from 2019, just ask! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
