Day for Night Festival

BoC and AE are the only way they could truly follow up to the AFX & Squarepusher superslam they had going on last year, for me anyway.

I am a bit worried they'll try and pick up more boring artists to sell more tickets, but last year seemed to do just fine with the balance they had.

I remember the harambe hoax

I still laugh thinking about that meme

Bush did harambe

Even if they go for the big mainstream names i don't think it would benefit them as much as AFX did last year, unless those mainstream names come with a great deal of rarity or exclusivity. There aren't many artists left who inspire the kind of passion AFX does where people will fly in from all over the world to see them.

Obviously, lives and safety are the real priority currently but I'm skeptical as to how Houston could pull off a Day For Night now in just 90 days or so. This is Katrina level shit now.

I read somewhere that the city is going to be inhabitable again from anywhere between a few weeks to a few months. You may be right.

I'm there now.  There are many "habitable" areas all over, but many neighborhoods have been laid waste.  I agree that DFN may not be possible, but the city will recover.

I'm downtown right now - life is returning to normal faster than you'd expect it to. DfN old houston post office location is dry, building looks intact.

thom gonna go all fanboy on the chre

Damn that looks like a sick lineup. Autechre is my favorite live band I've only seen them once. Should I fly down??

If that lineup is real then i am making the trip there. All you needed to say was Autechre. It seems pretty realistic. I reckon that Thom Yorke would DJ. Venetian Snares! Jlin!

Laurie Anderson and Gas, my dudelies.

Woah. Great news for my city if true.

That whole lineup looks insane. Thanks for the info whitley!

Andy Stott  Lil B Venetian Snares NIN Autechre Aphex

If that's the lineup, I'm sold.

I can't miss an Autechre + Venetian Snares double feature.

wait a minute, confirm that shit first.

A reconvening of teh watmms is imminent.

Unless another granny of mine dies and leaves a shit-ton of cash... I can't make this one :(
