I've been the past two years and have seen some incredible music, spoken word and workshops....forgot to mention the food.....definitely worth checking out if you're in the area. hillside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewRider Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 I wish I could afford it, I've never been but I'd love to check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guigsy Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 if you're there... Reid Jamieson on the main stage, Saturday at 1pm... early time slot, but he's damn good. at least, i thought he was 3 years ago when i saw him at a singer/songwriter night.(good enough that the name stuck, anyways) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Large Marge Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 Chin chin, Margie's in! Heading up Friday afternoon and plan to listen and play throughout the three days! Sorry to be missing the PrEVOLVE party though (and jazzfest) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 Definitely in also. There's a bunch of stuff not to be missed. Just off the top of my head The Golden Dogs and Metric (!) on Friday night. On Saturday (The Bills formerly the Bill Hilly Band), Unicorns, eccodek and BrassMunk replacing WarParty. On Sunday Blackie and the Rodeo Kings, Bedoouin Soundclash (later closing out the fest on the island stage as Soundclash Bash with friends). Plus there's a whack of great workshops (musical and otherwise) which is what really makes Hillside great. On Sunday 'Slide on This' has Colin Linden, Lester Quitzau and Steve Dawson (Zubot and Dawson). On Saturday Supersonic-phonic with The Unicorns and The Arcade Fire (that should be really interesting). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bONES Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 is Metric playing or is it Emily Haines solo? she's an old high school pal and a sexy keyboard player!! Lester Quitzau is cool, kinda reminds me of Hayden for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamH Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 Give'er. There'll be numerous mesh hats with catchy slogans floating around. Come on over and say hi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 Whoa hold the phones you went to high school with Emily. What was she like? I'd imagine a bit of an odd duck but passionate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
traveler Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 You must see Rory McCloud. He is an amazing one piece band. Let me know if you catch him-review. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamH Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 Abdullah Chadeh and Nara were at Bluesfest and will be at Hillside too. Pretty interesting middle eastern folk music. Geoff Berner - really good singer songwriter who plays accordion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd imagine a bit of an odd duck but passionate. she is/was awesome! her entire family are/were odd ducks that's why we were friends :: I am between her and her older sister Avery in age, her dad (Paul) taught French at my school and her mom (Jo) was my English teacher for a while. I actually remember Emily being a bit shy...she must of had the HOTS for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gentlemonkey Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 i thought the billhillys seemed like an amish children's act when we saw them at coca. talented musicians, but it seemed very fred penner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
