Harvest of Hope=Fuck Langerado

[sbessiso]

The festival season is starting off with a bang down in Florida, thanks to the inaugural Harvest of Hope Fest in St. John’s County Fairgrounds in St. Augustine. This three-day festival, March 6th-8th, is a benefit for migrant farm workers (if there are any left after the recent economic collapse here in the States…). The groups tend towards the punk and hardcore, but there’s still indie, hip-hop, electronica, and more – oh, and no jam-bands! The real theme running through the line-up is one of activism, fitting for the event:

(note: Harvest of Hope unfortunately takes place over the same three-day weekend as Langerado in Miami – and while they’re in the same state, you can’t just hop from one to the other, as St. Augustine & Miami are on opposite ends of the long, long state. But a host of acts are playing both, including: Against Me!, DeVotchKa, Broken Social Scene, Bad Brains, Girl Talk, Lucero, The Virgins, Ra Ra Riot, The Faint, King Khan & The Shrines, and Holy Fuck – QRO Langerado preview. And at Harvest, you can camp – plus it’s cheaper…)

This is the perfect way to protest Langerado, and just LOOK at the ticket prices. Plus camping! I look forward to hanging out with my friends, discovering lots of new bands and music, meeting cool and interesting people, and for not a whole lot of money. And i'm helping migrant farm workers!!(cool?)

fuck grains!

[slipmode]

wow. That's a fucking steal for that price! Great freaking line up. I would travel just for this if I could take time off work. March is a great month for music in FL. Me jealous.

shit, just reading about the actual mission for this fest makes me want to go.

Bad Brains and Bouncing Souls.


Fuckin' awesome

[sbessiso]

I cannot

wait for this

[woogie846]

Wow, talk about saving a lot of money.

[PassiveTheory]

I love that there's both "The Virgins" and "Virgins". WTF.

[HandBanana]

Thats a fucking DEAL

[Derekx]

Fuck warped tour, take this across the country!

[ThomThom]

That is an awesome deal, they will probably get alot of the cancelled acts as well.

[rage patton]

I bet anything that Flogging Molly is added to this.

[chiapet]

that looks pretty nice for the $$ and I've always really loved St Augustine for some reason. I have all these really vivid childhood memories of having driven all night (on route to southern FL), we'd always hit St Augustine around dawn, would pile out of the car and go to the waterfront by Castillo de San Marcos and buy fresh orange juice...

[gaypalmsprings]

I wonder how they make money off of this.

[bmack86]

Make sure to see The Mae Shi. They are the most energetic live act around.

[emtgreg]

they will prolly be HUSTLIN for donations...

and most of the bands are prolly playing for free...

that number seems to be just enough to cover facility fees, with most of the insurance being covered by vendor fees....

[emtgreg]

but holy shit if i lived anywhere on the east coast this would NOT be missed

[kitt kat]

Whoa. This is amazingly cheap.

[jonprc]

god, i'd pay $40 just to see propagandhi. hm, guess that's not sayin much. that's damn cheap.

[sbessiso]

Make sure to see The Mae Shi. They are the most energetic live act around.

Most definitely Mack. I'm greatly looking forward to discovering new bands, and the best way to do that is to just show up at the set. My friend was reading through the lineup and she is choosing bands to see just by how interesting or goofy their name is.

I'm so happy I started this thread BEFORE yesterday!

WE DID IT GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FUCK LANGERADO!!!!!!!!!!!!

[JCricks]

HOH is running off of a grant. Most of the bands are charging very little, so that is how they are affording everything. Also, they are utilyzing a lot of grass roots organizing to get help. With the cancellation of Langerado some bands demanded more money from HOH than the charity could provide, while other bands, who found themselves suddenly free that weekend, asked if they could join. Therefore, the line up is changing some, but for the price, the camping, and the bands that have definatley confirmed, this festival cannot be beat.

[Ted Berthalaname]

GATORFACE AND ALLIGATOR IN ONE FESTIVAL FUCK YAH IM JUICING UP FOR THIS

[Ted Berthalaname]

GATORFACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol

[Rockstarboy37]

none more black what a great band name

[Ardentbiscuit]

Great line up, great price!

How can you not love a festival with bands with names like, Bomb the Music industry, young livers, ninja gun, assisinate the scientist and clock hands strangle.

[CalmerThanYou]

Harvest of Hope sounds like a Christian Music Festival

[sbessiso]

TIX BOUGHT!

for less than $50

Service charge etc. is only $6+ total

FUCK Ticketbastard!

I will be camping and will be hosting late-night parties in my house. But maybe I should camp at the site. Camping is fun. hehheh

ARMAN YOU'RE GOING?!!?!?!?!

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

DEERHUNTER IS ADDED?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[miseducation]

I had written this off as a bit too crusty punk for me but the additions are sweet!

Looking at it on the site, the cool bands they've added so far are:

Deerhunter
GZA
Diplo
Tokyo Police Club
Kool Keith

That sounds like a pretty damn good day of music, at least.

[betao]

Umm, that post is dated 1/28/2008.

Just throwing it out there, they still could be (and probably are) additions. However, the main poster on the main site isn't updated yet.

Now I may end up going to this... are there any electronic/experimental acts on the bill (not counting the utter shit that is girl talk and diplo)? Stuff similar to holy fuck?

[rage patton]

Go to this Matt! Seriously... I wish this was close to me. To me, this line up is fucking amazing. Monotonix and Holy Fuck alone would make it worth it to me. Not to mention acts like Broken Social Scene, Propaghandi, DeVotchKa and a bunch of others.

[betao]

I'm thinking about it. My spring break plans take me to south Florida, which is that weekend, my friend wants to go this now (she wanted to do langerado because she thought it was the best lineup ever, but now that its cancelled she wants this), but i'm still not sure. I don't know many of the acts, Holy Fuck is a meh live act in my opinion, I'd be happy to see Deerhunter and Health, maybe a couple others. But i'm going to Florida with a group of people, and I don't know what the itinerary looks like yet.

so what are some other experimental/electronic/shoegaze acts on the bill?
