Oh yeah. Bumbershoot lineup revealed too
Submitted by ChrisB on July 14, 2008.In all the hoopla surrounding SP20 this weekend (seriously, awesome coverage from Stella, Heather and Chona), it might have gotten missed that Bumbershoot unveiled their schedule Saturday morning.
Here are the artists added:
Death Cab For Cutie / Superchunk / Tapes ‘n Tapes / The Weakerthans / Two Gallants / Sweet Water / Cheb I Sabbah & 1002 Nights featuring Riffat Sultana / Vicci Martinez / Black Eyes and Neckties / Tiptons Sax Quartet / Mono in VCF / Thee Emergency / Vince Mira / Manooghi Hi / Feral Children / Speaker Speaker / The Physics / The Tripwires / Sage / Grieves / Choklate / Das Vibenbass / The Valley / Velella Velella / The Maldives / Shim / Shane Tutmarc & The Traveling Mercies / Mariee Sioux / The Round (featuring Damien Jurado, Jen Wood, Buddy Wakefield and others) / The Lonely H / Nick Vigarino / The Staxx Brothers / Lushy / New Faces / School of Rock: Northwest All-Stars / Jazz Northwest: WSU Faculty Ensemble
And if you're scoring at home (or, as Keith Olbermann used to say, if you're alone), the above talent joins the previously announced:
Beck / Stone Temple Pilots / T.I. / The Offspring / Keyshia Cole / Lucinda Williams / Neko Case / Paramore / Band of Horses / The Black Keys / Nada Surf / Ingrid Michaelson / Del Tha Funky Homosapien / Jakob Dylan / !!! / Mike Doughty / Old 97’s / Xavier Rudd / Anti-Flag / Minus the Bear / M. Ward / Lee “Scratch” Perry / Man Man / Joe Bonamassa / Saul Williams / Brother Ali / Battles / Aiden / Kid Sister / The Walkmen / Sons and Daughters / Asylum Street Spankers / Unearth / Estelle / Dan Deacon / Blitzen Trapper / Sondre Lerche / Bedouin Soundclash / Scary Kids Scaring Kids / Tim Finn / The Whigs / Dale Watson / John Vanderslice / Flobots / Thao with the Get Down Stay Down / Final Fantasy / Adele / The Fall of Troy / Orgone / Langhorne Slim & The War Eagles / Forro in the Dark / These Arms Are Snakes / The Blakes / Wreckless Eric & Amy Rigby / Pacifika / Arthur & Yu / Darondo & Nino Moschella / Ian Moore / Mark Pickerel & His Praying Hands / Throw Me The Statue / Barcelona / Kinski / Tyrone Wells / Monotonix / J-Boogie’s Dubtronic Science / Howlin Rain / The Shackeltons / West Indian Girl / Ravens & Chimes / Hadley Caliman Quintet featuring Thomas Marriott / Star Anna / Grynch / The Hands / Joshua Morrison / Matt Jorgensen +451 / PWRFL Power / Chester French / The Girls / Kate Tucker & the Sons of Sweden / Beehive / Ashleigh Flynn
The full schedule is here.
I think the roster of local bands is especially good but with the rumors of Rage Against the Machine and Prince floating around, Death Cab as a headliner is kind of a letdown (at least to me).
What do you guys think? Who are you most excited to see?

I'm about to join the ranks of other jaded hipsters in this city and finally say it. "Fuck Bumbershoot." I'm not going this year for the first time since I've lived here and I'm glad!

Superchunk! Superchunk! Superchunk!
(So excited, this might have actually woken me up from my mid-afternoon thai food for lunch crash that has caused me to get nothing done for the last half hour at work!)

Guess who's excited about Death Cab playing...;)
On another note, I'm really excited to see how CHBP and Bumbershoot have both really honed in on the Seattle scene really hard this time around!

I can't wait to see Sondre Lerche and Death Cab, even though they overlap some. I'll bring my running shoes.

Sweet Water? As in early-90s local mainstays whose frontman wore a string of pearls?! Gasp!
Love the idea of the WSU faculty jazz troupe too - for real. That sounds like it'll be a nice complement to all the indie rock.
My heart is most set on Beck, who has never let me down the few times I've seen him, including that fateful B'shoot about a decade ago when folks tried to cram the stadium and pushed down the fence...scary! Oh, and of course the Old 97's.
Anyone else find it weird that T.I. opens for The Black Keys who open for a reunited STP? That's sure to draw a diverse crowd...
