The bands did play more upcoming stuff also throwing out what got them to First Ave. Maybe, it was how they did the line up I thought Caroline and Lucy back to back while great for the show should have finished the concert and left people excited for the next year.

The rest of it comes down to personal taste - I'd rather see seven "different" bands than the seven "best" bands. I’m sorry if my original implication came across as diversity for diversity’s sake.

At least for me because I'll be playing viola with Bouncer Fighter, so we've got a new sound and new songs. And for the record, Isabel and Caleb's baby, Charlie, is actually a girl.

I like these guys but there are plenty other bands that are just as deserving. It's a tough call Yeah, I agree. I like these guys but there are plenty other bands that are just as deserving. It’s a tough call

I will be there and like all of the bands playing...but I almost wish they could make it ten bands and have shorter sets or something. I think all of these bands are deserving, but it doesn't paint the scene with as diverse as it is. I agree very much.

Muja Messiah jumped up on stage with M.anifest during his set, A Night in the Box... Gay Witch Abortion... just a lot of different stuff that you'd never see together anywhere else. Nothing against any of the bands this year, cause I'm a big fan and they didn't choose who they're playing with - but with such a diverse pool of local talent, this lineup seems a little too white-bread for me.
