Austin Psych Fest 6 = 4/26 - 4/28

[Gribbz]

Man, I'm only a few songs into Internal Wrangler by Clinic and it's fucking outstanding. Line-up research is fun.

[stinkbutt]

Man I would love to see Roky Erickson added to this thing. Gribbz, have you bought your ticket?

[Gribbz]

Not yet. Going to run it by my boss tonight. Should be golden.

I think Ty Segall would be a plausible add considering White Fence is playing and Psych Fest seems to always have a garage act or two.

[bmack86]

I hope Spectrum does a full tour. And that I'll be living somewhere they come. Such a fantastic live act.

[Gribbz]

Good to hear. They're next on my list...

EDIT* Are the Black Angels recording a new album? I saw a picture a couple of months ago of them in the studio but I haven't found any related articles...

[Gribbz]

3 day pass acquired. This is going to be fun.

[TallGuyCM]

I would really love to be able to go to this...finances are an issue though. That being said, if they were to somehow land a Raccoo-oo-oon reunion, I'd sell a fucking kidney to get there.

[Gribbz]

Luckily the fest isn't for a while. Ever out that way for work, Chris?

[TallGuyCM]

Unfortunately, no. I'm 90% sure I'm going to Coachella anyway, and two fests in the same month would be really hard to pull off.

It's awesome you're branching out this year, Gribbz. So many great fests in this country, I'd like to go to both this one and Moog Fest someday (especially now that ATP's jumped the shark ).

I haven't been to ATP, but this year's Psych Fest is giving me a similar vibe in terms of small crowd size, unique location, etc.

Also, I just read on the website that more headliners will be added (awesome). I just figured the adds would be more lower tier.

[TallGuyCM]

Not that it matters that much whether they're there or not, but I'll be damned if Wooden Shjips isn't the neglected stepchild of psych rock. Every single song I've ever heard of theirs is absolutely on point, they deserve so much more recognition than they get.

[Gribbz]

It wouldn't surprise me if they were added. Wooden Shjips play Psych Fest pretty often.

Also, I didn't realize that the guy from Spectrum was a founding member of Spacemen 3.

[stinkbutt]

Wooden Shjips would be amazing. I just bought my ticket, I am really looking forward to this. I am hoping for the same type of ATP vibe, I realized I have little to no desire to attend big festivals anymore, so I hope Coachella doesn't get a really great lineup again.

[TallGuyCM]

Also, I didn't realize that the guy from Spectrum was a founding member of Spacemen 3.

Yep yep. Dude can do no wrong. I'm not sure how active he's been in the live setting recently, aside from performing with Panda Bear on a few occasions last year.

I realized I have little to no desire to attend big festivals anymore, so I hope Coachella doesn't get a really great lineup again.

I haven't been to Coachella since '10, but I have a very strong feeling that next year's lineup is going to be the best in years.

[Gribbz]

I just bought my ticket, I am really looking forward to this.

Awesome. Can't wait for the adds in January.


EDIT* I'm going to try to find out what the capacity will be this year too. I was looking at Carson Creek Ranch's FB page and it looks like it definitely holds over 2000.

[getbetter]

....... If flight prices are reasonable maybe i will go. I went a local rock pysch festival up in Mt.Baldy and a blasted .I really want to do Fun Fun. Fest this year.$120 is really fucking cheap for a good festival.

[Gribbz]

Southwest always has good year-around deals.

[Miroir Noir]

GvB are having a pass giveaway.

[bmack86]

Thanks! If I can somehow get a job by then, I will be doing this instead of Coachella I think.

[amyzzz]

I will be doing this instead of Coachella I think.

Aww.

I'm afraid this may be a show I will be arguing with my husband about at some point.

[Gribbz]

Doooo it, Bryan.

[stinkbutt]

"like"

[Fourthisto]

Alright, time to go quote-crazy up in this bitch:

Man, I'm only a few songs into Internal Wrangler by Clinic and it's fucking outstanding. Line-up research is fun.

When they start up the organ at the beginning of "Walking with Thee", look out for me - I'll be the dude in the crowd going completely insane.

I think Ty Segall would be a plausible add

That would be fantastic, here's hoping.

Not that it matters that much whether they're there or not, but I'll be damned if Wooden Shjips isn't the neglected stepchild of psych rock.

They did play last year, and while bands tend to not be in repeat APFs, I wouldn't put this past 'em. We might even see Moon Duo back again.

3 day pass acquired. This is going to be fun.

I just bought my ticket, I am really looking forward to this.

Heck yes! Well done, you two.

I'm going to try to find out what the capacity will be this year too. I was looking at Carson Creek Ranch's FB page and it looks like it definitely holds over 2000.

I've been curious about this as well, can't really find a good number out there, as far as "events" go. Sure, they have the space, but it almost seems like it won't be the entire ranch that's booked for the fest.

....... If flight prices are reasonable maybe i will go.

Last year I didn't book my trip flying into AUS until about 3 weeks in advance of the show, and it was about $150 cheaper than if I booked my flight months in advance when I bought my pass. Set up one of those 'price alerts' on Kayak.com or something and get yourself a deal.

[Fourthisto]

One TBD headliner I keep thinking about is MBV. They'll need a warm-up show before Tokyo Rocks, right? Would be beyond epic.

[Gribbz]

I was thinking the same thing. The Horrors would be a great add as well. Loved their Coachella set this past year. EDIT* Would post rock acts be unrealistic?

[TallGuyCM]

Most post-rock acts don't have elements that I would really call psychedelic...

[Gribbz]

True, but the festival seems to have a couple of bands every year that arent psychedelic at all.

[HotHamWater]

Most post-rock acts don't have elements that I would really call psychedelic...

Maybe you're being too strict with the "psych" label?

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

If These Trees Could Talk or pg. Lost would be really awesome post rock additions.

Also, Boris doing Feedbacker would be so perfect for this fest.

[stinkbutt]

I am assuming Boris is going to do Feedbacker or some other album that is more psych in its entirety. I know most people pan it off, but them doing Rainbow would be an amazing fit for this festival. Also, if MBV wind up on this I am gonna lose my shit
