(Goddamn those) Shaky Knees Festival, ATL

[MrWhippy]

I'm not positive I'm coming, but if I am, it mostly likely will be without Flake.

[Fully]

Maybe I should be the one posting Goat videos to lure you to this Fest!!!

[MrWhippy]

I actually already have tickets for GOAT and Black Angels when they come to DC, so those are not the biggest draw for me, though it is a great pairing (they are playing in DC on different nights). 

There's nothing rare on this lineup or that you can't see elsewhere, but it's just a great collection of stuff, and would be awesome to see you folks again. 

Is there a hotel that people have decided on?  Also, are people really trying to fly out Sunday night?  I feel that it is a bit risky to book a Sunday night flight before seeing the schedule.  If all it meant, though, was missing one of the two meh headliners, though, getting home Sunday night sounds grand.

So who bought tickets? Who's official? I got regular pass + late night.

I'm official (I got the regular tix but didn't get the late night).  I'm not familiar with them but will give them some listens and could add it on. 

I read that doors open at noon but have no idea what time it ends.

Beth I would assume one of Lumineers/BoH will be sat and one would be sunday, based on the size of their fonts?   

That's what I think as well.  The website says there are three stages.

This has me wondering if some of the smaller bands (bottom 3 rows on the lineup bill) will play both days. There's only 26 bands excluding the late night 2, so 13 bands per day needs 3 stages?? I guess its a possibility bands besides the headliners play longer sets than your typical festival set, but J Roddy & the Biz' website has them listed for both days so the thought crossed my mind. I think that would be cool if thats the case because it would allow people to see more bands theyve probably never heard of.

....and if that were the case Id totally see J Roddy both days so Im hoping Im right!!

Adam, the late show will be really fun.  Black Angels are a psych-rock band from Austin.  Nothing life-changing, but really good live and just very fun music to trip out to.  I've seen them 6 or 7 times and always really enjoyed it.

The Black Angels - Doves - Live

The Black Angels - Young Men Dead (Rockpalast 11')

The Black Angels - Phosphene Dream (Rockpalast 11')

GOAT are a Swedish band that put out their first album last year.  It's almost like psych-fusion, or a psych-rock version of Antibalas, as someone sort of said earlier.  Looks crazy as all hell.

Goat - Run To Your Mama (Live @ What We Do is Secret at Strand, Stockholm)

True, but almost all of the bands (including JJ, Delta Spirit) on the bill have both dates listed on their websites.  Probably means which days they are playing haven't been decided.  A few of the bands (The Joy F, Lucero, BOH) don't have either date listed at all on their website.

Thanks Mr. W for those clips.  I gave a listen on Spotify as well.  Not my favorite but probably cool live.

Can't wait

[layin low]

I'm in. Close to CLT, a great lineup ... early Valentine's Day gift from my gf. For those wondering, I did see that doors will open each day at noon, first band starts at 12:30, headliners will stop at 11.

I think the dates/times for each band/performer is supposed to be announced by the end of the month.

Yep, it just was announced. BOH, Gary Clark Jr. and Jim are all playing Saturday. Lumineers/Truckers/Dr. Dog Sunday.

Saturday is quite overloaded!

[e_wind]

for what I'm looking for, both days are pretty well rounded

[APR]

Saturday looks phenomenal!  Jim, The Joy Formidable, Heatless Bastards, and B of H (seen them a bit but hopefully first two albums will dominate the setlist).

[Penny Lane]

I now have an extra 2 day pass (with nighttime show) if anyone is looking.

[e_wind]

Penny ill take that 2 day pass. Hit me on the DP

[APR]

I made a bad call and booked a flight home Sunday early enough that I'll have to miss Oberhofer.  I think they'll be great.

The good news is that according to setlist.fm, Band of Horses is basically ignoring Mirage Rock and playing all of their old stuff on this tour.  They play between two and four Mirage Rock songs per night.

[layin low]

Guessing there won't be any special Roll Call entry for this? Can we just make up for it by a Jim meet and greet? (Hey, one can always dream)

I am flying in for this.   It will be good to see you (and others) again

[Penny Lane]

Fully and I will be there, also. (Weather permitting, Fully will be there I should say.)

After all the talk on the Joy Formidable, looking forward to this set.

[Fully]

Fully has made up her mind that the weather is indeed permitting. I decided to stop being a big puss and deal with it.
