jaybone Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 In! What bands are people pumped to see?One of the best things about Hillside is not knowing half the bands going in and coming out with a bunch of new favourites!So far the two bands I was most excited about seeing (Karl D and Hollerado) are playing at the same time.

phishtaper Posted July 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 denson is also playing a mainstage workshop at 7pm, so you can catch him there and then hollerado at 10pm. hammond b3 being brought in especially for KDTU. I agree, hillside is like a buffet of known and unknown delights. I plan to wander around for most of the weekend but want to catch all (or just part of) denson, lights, mother mother, dears, sloan, memphis, serena ryder, pop montreal and shannon kingsbury.

jaybone Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 Dan Magnan, Hannah Gorgeous, Sweet Thing and Sheep Dogs are all on my radar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaybone Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 Tungsten also gave me the heads up on a bunch of other acts to keep an eye out for. If he doesn't pop in this thread I will post his picks later in the week. Tungsten usually knows more of the acts then I do and he hasn't steered me wrong yet so I often follow his advice.

Tungsten Gruvsten Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 Hehehe I love scoping out Hillside! Year 19 for me! (missed 1999 but going since 1991!)Friday:Chali 2na: Jurassic 5ive lowdown voice dude with a band - Roots-ishDears - Hit and miss with this band - seen some great shows, seen some not-so-great shows....Lights - not my fave style in the current direction but she is hot as hell - Dragonettey... Guess it depends what is in the beertents!One Hundred Dollars - sounds like Beth Orton or similar spaced out janglerock...could be good, never seen them live.Midway State - this will probably be BIG - they are a hot new band, great songwriters, high energy poprock - and the lead singer looks like the guy form Entourage - chix diggit.SatDala - 2 cute ladies - might be too folkie but beautiful singers and real easy on the eyes!Hollerado - fucking awesome. check out their vids online - genius!Karl Denson - Funkin' Dance Party!Mother Mother - great band...seenn them tons though so might just pop by - Sheepdogs - 70's Rawk! Tacoma Hellfarm Tragedy - they've killed it at Hillside before - reminds me of Dr. Dog alot...Shad - great CAD hiphop SundayAdverteyes - local band from two other cool local bands - psyche rocky Braids - finally some synths! trippy poptasticaGangaGiri - here's the dance party - organica? dunno what its called these days...drum machines and didgeridoosGobble Gobble - Woodhands meets Caribou electronic band - only heard a few tracks but sounds very cool!Sloan - I've made it this far in life without seeing them...time to catch up to my Carlsberg(Sleeman?) years...

fluffhead77 Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 ^^^ What he said. Also, pumped for the Rural Alberta Advantage. Also never seen Sloan and looks like that record will remain intact as we've gotta bounce before they go on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaybone Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 This is my first year where I get to stay for the whole festival. I usually leave Sunday afternoon b/c of work on Monday. I'm still working on Monday, probably not very effectively, but still working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DevO Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 (edited) I'm in! I don't know a ton of the bands this year. Looking forward to seeing KDTU again as well as Seun Kuti, seeing a lot of bands that I've heard (or heard alot about) but have never seen, and lots of others that I've just never heard of at all. Should be a great weekend as usual.Edit: Looking forward to seeing Doug Paisley too! Edited July 19, 2011 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaybone Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 They always have fresh water for you to drink for free. Just bring a cup or buy one which you can also use for beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
