AdamH Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 Other than the hidden cameras (who I so fucking hate with all the passion inside of me) that lineup looks excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmoothedShredder Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 They just opened for Dino Jr. It was loud... any review I would have would be tainted by this. I will say on the positive side, the Drummer was a monster! Excellent festival... And they had alot of promo in April, so hopefully all the students will come back and know about this... common attention span. ~W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guigsy Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 THE ZOOBOMBS!! if anyone goes, make sure to check those guys out!!! you will not have your face rocked harder this year, im tellin' ya the truth. they destroyed about 2 dozen of us at Call The Office in London back in March, and i'd venture to say it was the finest rock'n'roll bar show i've seen since the hermit thrush... balls out japanese garage rock with multiple twists. GO GET YOUR FACE ROCKED! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Funk Dawg Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 that is an amaizing line up.I've met the promoters, it's a not for profit event that is run by a group of Toronto based artists and music enthusiast. I'm there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chameleon Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 The line up does look good but what I find weird is that on the festival web-site it says:Ear To The Ground will exist to:Promote the work of independent, innovative and emerging artists, and help expose them to new audiences through an annual festival and other projectsHowever acts like Kid Koala, RJD2, Death From Above 1979, Tricky Woo and K'Naan are niether indie or emerging. I would say that these acts, which are quite good, are emerged recognized and supported.Hell K'naan played live 8. That pretty exposed.Looks like a great festival though.
