Sled Island 2010 : DAY #1 HAS ARRIVED!!

Sled Island Wednesday Schedule

I have been working like mad all day to get everything done before heading down so I’m going to keep this relatively quick. Yesterday (DAY #0) I went to Local 510 for the launch of Boomtown a new graphic novel by a local artist that lovingly lampoons the city. Women headlined with Friendo (featuring Mike the drummer from Women on guitar and vocals) opening. There was another band (also featuring members of Women) but I can’t remember their name and they are in a very gestational phase so I won’t go into more detail. Women were excellent and played a cover of Rebel Rebel. Friendo has improved a ton since the last time I saw them. If you go to the Sled Island front page right now there is a picture of the show and you can see me in the mirror looking extremely despondent. I am fairly sure I was actually just focusing on Matt and how awesome he is at playing bass.

Here is my approximate plan for tonight. Catch me if you can!

8:00 – 10:00 : Wild Choir + Deerhoof @ Central United

10:00 – 11:15 : Cave + Golden Triangle + Chain & the Gang @ the Legion

11:15 – 11:45 : Braids @ Arrata

11:45 – 12:00 : "dinner" at Tubby Dog I hope

12:00 – 1:45 : The Pack A.D. + C’MON @ the Ship & Anchor

1:45 – ??? : Big Freedia

None of these bands are to be missed especially Big Freedia. See Peter’s interview with Quintron (a rare treat apparently) for more information in that department.
