You can also check out the festival that has my vote for worst festival name of the year, Kanrocksas, on a webcast on iClips. That'll be HERE. They have not posted the schedule yet but the festival starts on Friday at 2:30 PM Eastern and on Saturday at 1:30 PM Eastern. This one will feature headliners Eminem and Muse, plus over 20 additional acts including The Black Keys, A Perfect Circle, The Flaming Lips, Bassnectar, Kid Cudi, Ween and more. I'll be flipping between the two festivals all weekend.
Saturday night at the Capital Ale House, John Oates with no Hall will be at the Capital Ale House Downtown featuring songs from his new album of roots music (Mississippi Mile) that influenced him along with some Hall & Oates tunes I'm sure. Doors open at 7, show starts at 8, tix are $25 in advance & $30 day of show. Chris Bopst had a nice interview with John in the Times-Dispatch which you can check out HERE. He also did an interview with Style Weekly which you can find HERE. Here's John performing the title track from the album:
Sunday, you've got the big ol' Watermelon Fest in Carytown. That'll run from 10 AM until 6 PM. It's FREE. There's music all over the place at that thing from local bands. Hit up the web site if you are interested in seeing exactly who.
Check out the blog entry below for a link to a very cool reggae documentary.
That's it for tonight. Hope to see you this weekend at The Nighthawks show (if you're up for going to that, contact me) and maybe the Watermelon Fest.
