Wow - Smalltown America’s This Ain’t No Picnic festival keeps adding bands (and value) to its line-up. I’ve already booked my ticket (and that’s not press hyperbole, I really have), but if you were holding back to see how things shape up, the latest batch of live acts may be sufficient to tempt you.
So, in addition to Future Of The Left and the other bands announced in the initial batch, This Ain’t No Picnic will also feature the following:
- Bearsuit
- Calories
- Gossamer Albatross
- Hooray For Humans
- Ice, Sea, Dead People
- Let Our Enemies Beware
- The Light Sleepers
- Panther
- Popular Workshop
- This Town Needs Guns
And headlining the Sunday night are Polysics, all the way from Japan. The This Ain’t No Picnic site describes them thusly:
Formed by Hayashi in 1997 and named after a brand of synthesizer, they’ve spent the past ten years fusing blasting guitars, computer noise, high energy beats and their love of American New Wave oddballs Devo to create a heady, energising sound that they dub “technicolour pogo punk”. We’re not going to argue with that.
I’m not going to argue with that either - sounds like it’s going to be a whole lot of fun! Maybe I’ll see you there… have you got your tickets yet?
