Wow, a festival I actually want to go to and its in Lawrence, KS.  I got myself excited before reading where it was, that is too far for me but Midwesterners you are in luck.  Scion Garage Fest has been announced for Saturday October 2, 2010 and the lineup is pretty impressive.  The festival is just one day and right now it looks like 29 bands (but that may change).  Not only are one of the best garage-punk bands ever The Oblivions playing, but awesome bands like Detroit’s The Gories, New Zealand punks The Clean, The Ponys, (a lot of “The” named bands), King Khan, Thee Oh Sees, Teenanger, Digital Leather, Times New Viking, Lawrence, KS natives Rooftop Vigilantes which is one of my personal faves… just check out the list.

I’m bummed I won’t get to see this because I’ve been pretty indifferent and downright uninspired by the festivals lately.  The lineups are ill conceived and the scheduling is downright idiotic if you ask me.  (ex. FYF Festfestfest).
The festival is spread out over 4 venues: The Granada, Jackpot (18+), Liberty Hall, and the Bottleneck (here’s a PDF Map if you’re not familiar with Lawrence).  Like I mentioned above, it is one day, from 4pm to 12:30am.  Go to the site and RSVP.  Oh ya and one extremely cool point about this festival: this shit is FREE.  Ya, no shit.  Vice & Scion are spoiling you lucky fuckers.

This is huge, guys. Right now we’re giving away ANOTHER pair of general admission tickets to this festival. It’s gonna be in the Los Angeles State Historic Park [1245 N. Spring Street, Los Angeles, CA 90012] on Saturday, September 4th.

So, Melissa Auf der Maur, former Hole and Smashing Pumpkins bassist is coming out with another project called Out Of Our Minds March 30th.

Out Of Our Minds also extends into a 28-minute, HD film starring and conceived by MAdM, as well as a limited edition comic book and matching Picture Disc Vinyl illustrated by Jack Forbes.

Miss Auf der Maur has also just released a music video featuring the title song that you can watch right here:

So, anyhow what have we got to offer you? That’s where this gets really interesting. We’ve got:

1 MAdM t-shirt
1 copy of Out Of Our Minds on CD
1 special edition picture vinyl disc.

This awesome package can be yours if you e-mail contests@buddyhead.com with the reason why you want it so badly!

Alright kiddies, so the title pretty much tells you what we’re giving away, but lemme give you more detail, yeah? Yeah.

So we’ve got three rad performances all in one night at one venue.

RJD2, whom if you haven’t heard of him, you can check ‘em out here. I personally like the songs “You Never Had It So Good” and “Iced Lightning”.

But anyway, so Busdriver is playing alongside that dude. One more time, if you haven’t heard of this guy, check him out here. In particular check out “SunshowersedIT redo” or “Imaginary Places”.

Last but not least, there’s Happy Chichester. Now, all you NINnies out there might recall a little band that Jerome Dillon was in called Howlin’ Maggie? Yep. That’s this guy’s roots. For the rest of you out there that have no clue what I’m talking about check out his music right…here. Once again, personal favourites are “Lost Connection” or “Moonlight”.

Tickets are $22.00 a pop, so yer gettin’ a rad show for free! All you gotta do is be able to show up. Oh yeah, and you gotta e-mail me at contests@buddyhead.com and tell me why you wanna go.
