Well, all right, then. Remember The Thing? You know: Old Indian’s final show capped it all off last year at 200 East that night. We had seven venues. A little less than 30 bands. This happened:
So, as you can see, it’s back. And it’s more than doubled in size. And now we have to take the damn thing outside the 200 East Art Haus and into the parking lot – not unlike we did with the first (and sadly, to this date, only) Frederick Fall Festival. We’ve been holding out long and hard to try and grab someone from far away to come headline the thing (see what we did there?!?), but unfortunately, it doesn’t look like that’s going to work out.
But that’s OK. Because, you see, this was initially designed to help promote Frederick’s thriving music scene in the first place. So, hell. Where else could you get more than 60 bands at more than 15 venues on a Saturday in May ’round these parts? It’ll be fun. Fun-ner than fun. Promise.
That said, we’ve been salivating at the salivates to reveal some details about the event, and that’s what this post is about. First, the date, in case you haven’t already heard, is set for Saturday, May 20. Tickets are currently on sale, and it’s a hell of a deal – remember, the prices go up once May comes around, and we want to make sure you can save all the money you can in anticipation of this.
Oh, and in case you forgot, it also has its own website.
Now, before we reveal the bands for each venue, we must note: All venue lineups and time slots will always be subject to change. We’re still more than six weeks away from this thing (again – see what we did there?!?!), and we’re sure something(s) will pop up as we march toward May 20. For instance, the fine people in Joy On Fire only recently told us they won’t be able to make it, and that makes us sad. Hashtag. Sad.
The specific times will be announced in the next couple weeks – and of course more details are yet to come – but for now, check out who we have where, and get ready to rawk and rawll:
