i thought washed out was pretty good. granted, there's not much to the performance, but the guy had a LOT of energy and was really trying to get the crowd into it.

5/5/2010 7:27:49 PM

i wasn't there so i don't know

but the biggest chillwave fan i know said he was good with small black but awful by himself

5/5/2010 7:33:17 PM

^your friend is right. the "despicable dogs" remix with washed out is better than anything either has done exclusive of each other.

5/5/2010 9:01:54 PM

5/20/2010 4:58:15 PM

THE SCHEDULE IS OUT

http://hopscotchmusicfest.com/schedule/?info/schedule/

7/9/2010 2:53:19 PM

not too many awful conflicts for me

worst one is dungen or bear in heaven and then running over to see kylesa

7/9/2010 2:56:37 PM

FUCK

Best Coast right before Javelin and Future Islands

Atlas Sound and Bowerbirds at the same time

[Edited on July 9, 2010 at 3:10 PM. Reason : I'm ok with missing a little bit of Javelin since they're playing Cherry Bounce in a few weeks]

7/9/2010 3:00:00 PM

thursday night has a lot of conflicts for me

[Edited on July 9, 2010 at 3:09 PM. Reason : .]

thursday night has a lot of conflicts for me

7/9/2010 4:02:41 PM

The Bear in Heaven/Dungen/Woods/Tortoise overlap is the only really bad conflict for me.

7/9/2010 4:09:58 PM

dang, i guess i'll have to catch bear in heaven another time. the golden filter/washed out show should be great.

7/9/2010 7:34:36 PM

when exactly is the VIP pre-party? I'm having trouble finding that info again for some reason, and I'm tryna book plane tix

8/4/2010 12:35:22 AM

holy shit in the year of the pig got on the kylesa show?

I'm AstralAdvent and i approved this message.

8/4/2010 1:08:51 AM

the vip party is thursday night, i assume it'll start around 9-10

there may or may not be a certain space-themed surf band playing at said party

8/4/2010 4:07:05 AM

So, I'm thinking about buying the Club wristband. I like Future Islands, Megafaun, and Lonnie Walker, but I haven't listened to alot of the other bands. Can anyone recommend some other groups to look into?

8/5/2010 6:53:02 PM

us christmas
kylesa
best coast
woods
cults
harlem

8/6/2010 12:25:02 AM

bump

it's time to get excited

8/24/2010 11:01:13 PM

TORTOISE!!!!

8/25/2010 1:06:14 AM

putting out an schedule was very un-hipster-like.

i fully expected them to leave it up to a few core group of hipsters to spread the word on when their favorite unknown band was playing, and leave it up to word of mouth to drive hipsters in masses to obscure locations.

8/25/2010 8:27:31 AM

information will be passed along by notes in between Jackpot and Neptune.

8/25/2010 12:35:24 PM

oh sweet...

that means i'll get the low down on friday night

8/25/2010 12:51:37 PM

follow @bestycoastyy for details

8/25/2010 1:12:56 PM

again i must post

8/25/2010 1:28:20 PM

real life hipster example:

8/25/2010 1:29:57 PM

i took off the entire week for this festival, LOL

8/25/2010 9:45:55 PM

^i'm working tuesday and wednesday only. might as well make it the full week (aside from not having any more days off left).

8/25/2010 11:27:47 PM

for anyone who is interested, Ocean (one of the metal bands playing Hopscotch) will be doing an in-store performance on September 8, the Wednesday before Hopscotch starts, at 7 PM. Should be pretty cool.

8/26/2010 3:06:40 PM

anyone know if the three day passes are transferable?

Due to an unforeseen circumstance, I'll likely be missing thursday night.

which, really, really pisses me off.

8/30/2010 8:36:55 AM

to my knowledge they are not

8/30/2010 8:41:42 AM

well fuck.

I'm starting a new job next week and cant get the days off.

and it's 3/4s of the way across the country.

8/31/2010 5:36:16 PM

"Maple Stave"

look i dont know anything about this band but it has to be a play off of Mavis Staples right?

8/31/2010 6:25:32 PM

^^ LL aren't drughorse

8/31/2010 9:41:10 PM
