It would be cool to have two long nights of PHISH and then throw in some one like the Peppers for the first night or somone else who just rocks. I don't see why not PHISH could do two sets each night and play from like 8-12 or something. It would work but then again could Rothbury's grounds hold enough or be able to expand enough to handle double the amount of people. I say no way. There were only 35,000 in there and at times that got a bit crowded. Could you imagine trying to get in and out the one gate with double the people.

Re: Official Rothbury 2009 Artist Speculation Page
Post by wardhoosier on Jul 14, 2008, 6:39pm

Daft Punk or Armin van Buuren would be sick for a DJ set at night.

I like the idea of another big rap artist but you have to be careful about who you invite. Snoop tore it up, but he's a rap legend and you are going to have a hard time finding anyone from this genre be as good at a festival as he was. I'm not sure if Nas could do it (although I'd like to see him), maybe Jay-Z or Outkast though. For those two it would depend on their performance. Jay-Z doing an Unplugged-type set with lots of jazz backup or Outkast doing a real funky set (think Aquiemeni) would be good. Mos Def or Talib Kweli would be ok but are not headliner material.

DMB again you cannot say no to. Bring Steel Pulse back with a better time slot...

Ziggy Marley
Bob Weir and Rat Dog
Ultra Voilet Hippopautamus

If we can't have Snoop for 4:20 on July 4th next year...

How about Willie Nelson @ 4:20

Who else could rightfully hold down the 4:20 spot?

Re: Official Rothbury 2009 Artist Speculation Page
Post by headyhiker on Jul 16, 2008, 7:45am

Phish
The Dead
The Flips

Benevento Russo Duo
Ozomatli

Re: Official Rothbury 2009 Artist Speculation Page
Post by psilocyborg on Jul 16, 2008, 11:26am

They said they would to Rothbury next year, since they had to cancel this one. Maybe this should be our 2009 wiggle pit. Only it's more of a bounce around, fist pump, shake your booty, hugging double leap in the air pit.

^^^I am kind of with you but I hold out reservations on my opinions because I have never seen them live. Seeing them on TV or hearing their recordings does nothing for me but I have to see everyone live before I decide because music is completely different live. Perfect example. Last night I had free tickets and even backstage passes for three 90's bands: Collective Soul, Blues Traveler and Live. Well I did not get there in time for CS, Blues Traveler was awesome and then Live, who I enjoyed in college, absolutely sucked. In fact it is so ironic that they are named Live but can't play live worth a $hit.

Dave Matthews Band was an accident Snoop Dogg could have gone either way with me, but don't let this festival turn into Bonnaroo.

I'd love to see DMB on a small stage. That would be fantastic. But not happening, especially at rothbury.

i would love to see them again! but that is a good point, i don't think they would be put on a small stage. But change is always good, and no matter what I don't think anything at rothbury could be bad. i cant wait to see the line up for next year, when do you think it will be up

February 12th lastyear if I am not mistaken Arthur...... It was super close to Roo! And Cupcake made this site on the 14th I believe!

Post by a4hair on Jul 31, 2008, 1:16am

I remember hearing about it like the 16th, and I found this site on the 1st of april. Unintentionally.

All i know is I heard about it about a week or so before the E-Bird tickets went on sale. If I am correct.

I had fris on the computer waiting while I was at work,iI guess he had the early bird site up at the same time as ticketmaster but it was taking so long to load. So in the end he bought the normal price ticketmaster ones, as soon as he hit submit or whatever the early bird ticket page came up and were still available, he was pretty pissed about it, but either way I would of payed double what we did for such a good time.

Post by admin on Jul 31, 2008, 9:57pm

we got ours at 12:04 and we missed out on early birds... apparently they put them up for sale like 3 minutes before they were supposed to.. and then they had this other page that said if you refreshed you would automatically jump back to the end of the queue. apparently that wasnt true and everyone should have kept refreshing.

Re: Official Rothbury 2009 Artist Speculation Page
Post by shukky on Aug 1, 2008, 8:35am

I was refreshing from 10 til on and never even had a chance at early bird and had to buy from ticketmaster because the rothbury site would not come up.

Re: Official Rothbury 2009 Artist Speculation Page
Post by a4hair on Aug 1, 2008, 9:29am

I paniced and thought it was going to sell out so I got my tickets mid march casually from Rothbury. Apparently they hadn't sold many by that point. Or maybe they had, I don't know.

I'd like to see that training in the middle of downtown. Watching some hippie chica wiggle around on a corner with headphones on, then rush like 4 blocks down and boogie on that corner. Then switch again. it would make my day for sure!!!

Otherwise, theyre gonna need an awesomely amazing lineup to bring me back to the farm... after experiencing Rothbury, as much as I love Roo every time I go, I might search out a smaller fest to replace it. I spent a lot more money for Roo and that heat is just rough. We'll see tho....

i still saw 19 or so shows, and wasn't disappointed in any of them. not to mention i got to meet soulmate and dale.

So, some artists I think could be there...I would say I have a strong suspiscion of Phish, but T will most def be the expert on that (speaking of which, is your phone still dead?), I would also be stoked to see Pretty Lights, Elliot Lipp, Pnuma (again), Gogol Bordello, Bloc Party, The Go Team, and Girl Talk to name a few. Not to mention I hope the 9 and EOTO come back, as well as Basnectar.

im guessing that rothbury will at least try to get them again in 2009

I agree about not needing sublime, or any tribute band to them.

I saw badfish at the Ledges back in May. It wasn't the best thing I've seen, nor was their crowd.

Here's an idea though.........

FLECKTONES.

Post by qchippi on Oct 7, 2008, 3:28pm

ya heard bad fish at summer camp last year.glad i didnt buy the late night tix for that one.

if any tribute band plays it should be DSO or PHIX for a late night slot.

Re: Official Rothbury 2009 Artist Speculation Page
Post by jpbrez on Oct 7, 2008, 6:29pm

i remember reading an article about badfish where the vocalist said they were better than sublime and i was like whoaaa.

bisco needs to come back and do the late night ranch slot on either friday or saturday. i'm listening to their rothbury show right now and am really sad i missed it.

Post by hippienaustin on Oct 7, 2008, 8:11pm

i think abigail washburn & the sparrow quartet would be a great late afternoon/early evening set. they were in my top 3 acts at ACL this year. and i wouldn't mind ben sollee(the quartet's cello player) getting a little solo action

Re: Official Rothbury 2009 Artist Speculation Page
Post by mjblightdesign on Oct 7, 2008, 9:18pm

^^ YEAH! I LOVE Sparrow. Saw them at the Ark in A2 a few weeks back.

Casey Driesen plays with the Duhks a lot...

so maybe they could do Sparrow-> Duhks -> Sollee -> Flecktones

Then We'd have to have Jeff Coffin's Mutet there too....

Toubab Krewe?

this year the roots played along with thievery corporation. i think if thievery comes back next year they will probably have roots with them again. but hey i would love for them to have their own slot in the schedule.

also id love to see gorillaz, imogen heap (or frou frou), zero 7, rjd2, regina spektor, roger waters, outkast (for the hip hop slot), maybe some muse, motorcycle, infected mushrooms, minus the bear, mgmt, mia, jason mraz, interpol, mars volta, jack johnson, cold war kids, some others.

How about some NKOTB?

I just discovered this thread. Rothbury was the best thing that has happened in my life! Can't wait for 2009.

My Morning Jacket would be the one act I'd really love to see added. Keep the jam band usualls.

A few bands that were new to me that I really enjoyed were A3 and Slightly Stoopid. I'm now an oficial Stoopid Head and would love to see them again.

Some others that I'd like to see that would fit in with the theme of the festival::

The BoDeans
Big Head Todd & the Monsters
Cowboy Junkies
Leo Kotke w/ Mike Gordon
Neil Young
OAR - they sold out to the mainstream, but still a great jam band
Robert Randolph
String Cheese Incident
Trampled by Turtles
Assembly of Dust
Umphries McGee
New Monsson

In general, I loved the 2008 lineup with very few exceptions. (Colbie Calet - barf!) Then again, they could keep the same line-up and I'd still go.....

I'd like to see Mars Volta in a small venue... the show at ACL didn't float my boat (as did many shows there). It was too hot (for my taste) and too short of sets. Not to dis on the ACL, I had a f**k**g blast!

Rothbury was rowdy as hell! For sure coming out to 09! Was disappointed that DMB was the only band playing in its slot but otherwise very little complaints about the line-up. This is only a fantasy, but even a 1/3 of this line up is present for 09 I will crap myself.

That 1 Guy/Buckethead
Eoto
Les Claypool (one form or another)
Shpongle

Friday:
The Wailers
Galactic
Ween
Pink Floyd (Minus Richard Wright R.I.P)(Roger Waters, or David Gilmour will do)

Headliners:
Disco Biscuits
Umphrey's Mcgee

Late Night:
Bassnectar
Pnuma Trio
Mstrkrft

Saturday:

Yonder Mountain String Band
Gogol Bordello
Taj Mahal
Medeski Martin and Wood
Thievery Corp

Headliners:
David Bowie
Parliament

Late Night:
Daft Punk
Crystal Method

Sunday:

Phil Lesh and Friends

So im assuming this page is just a brainstorm thing for who will be playing rothbury in 09... correct me if im wrong.

I wasnt at rothbury last summer but i did have the pleasure of making it to lollapalooza in chicago. For those of you that dont know, artists consisted of MGMT, The Black Keys, The Raconteurs, NIN (not my favorite), Radiohead, Kanye West (also not a favorite) and last but certainly not least RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE.

Rage was insane, and for those of you who havent seen them or may not even like them that much need to get a taste of reality because their live performance will blow anything and anyone out of the water, just absolute chaos errupted as soon as Tom Morello strummed his first chord. If anyone on this blog has any authority as to who plays in 2009, put Rage near the top of the list, you will make your money i guarantee it.

Other than that here are some other bands id love to see play Rothbury this year:
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Umphreys Mcgee
Any form of Jack White (come on, its his home state)
Rage
Radiohead
Allman Brothers
Phish
My Morning Jacket
Mason Jennings
Incubus

Lupe Fiasco is great performer too, he opened up for Rage at Lolla. Sign him up before you even consider KANYE WEST, f*** that guy, he sucks live anyway.

Since AEG handles Jimmy Buffet's tour, what do you guys think about Buffet at Rothbury? Its a stretch....but also a possibility.

You have to do a little further digging and go to the AEG sites to see the major artists who's tours they handle. There are some big names. McCartney, Buffet, Van Halen, Dion among others. They do have quite a pool and probably wouldn't have much of a problem filling the bill even if they had to do it on short notice. Thats pretty funny they rep. the High School Musical tour.

i think this def makes the flips a strong possibility

http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/music_blog/2008/10/flaming-lips-on.html

After making the promotional rounds for "Christmas on Mars," the Flaming Lips will head back into the studio. The act plans to record its next album relatively quick, in time for a summer 2009 tour. A number of tracks are nearly ready to be recorded, Coyne says

If they show up at Rothbury, than there should also be some CAKE! I think they would compliment each other nicely.

I don't mind Tool, my buddy Greg's obsessed. back a few years ago we went to a lot of their shows. I don't really like anything after Aenima. Did you happen to go to the Kalamazoo or Detroit shows in 1998? Buzz Osbourne of The Melvin's played with them, decent. In total, because of Greg's obsessions, I've seen them 7 times? lol

2? I didn't think the very late night sets were really planned. I thought they just kinda happened. I'm probably wrong, but in any case I'm sure some one will step up to the plate and do the all night jam Especially the night of the 4th when everyone is in an extra special partying mode.

yeah, exactly. I just took a look at the schedule last year. On saturday night, Dave started at 9 and ended at 11:30.

sts9 was scheduled for 12am

some other acts were scheduled even later. Crystal Method and Kraak and Smaak didnt even go on til 1:30 am.

so basically some bands are JUST starting at 2am

Can't blame them for wanting to continue with the band. Plus i've heard Duvall can really sing. Evidently he can sing like Layne if need be, but i don't think that is the direction they are going to go with it.

Dale is such a HUGE Layne Staley fan that he had a shrine set up when they announced that he had died.

I would have to hear the band play with the new Singer but in some respects, its hard to call yourself the same name and command the attention from the original fans. I liked the way Joy Division changed their name to New Order after Ian Curtis died. And New Order still had great success.

Layne Staley MADE Alice in Chains and Jerry Cantrel wasn't nearly the singer for the band as Layne.

That being said, I would still be running over to the venue with QC is they played a latenight set! I give everyone a chance!!

IMO!!!

I disagree. Jerry Cantrell MADE AiC. Wrote and Composed most of the songs. Played Guitar. Did a lot of singing. They wouldn't be able to pull off a reunion without Jerry. They can without Layne. Ive heard Duvall sing before and he is verrry good. Don't get me wrong, he's no Layne, but he is very good. I would more than welcome seeing one of my favorite bands at some point. I don't think they're completely right for Rothbury's vibe, but I'd love to see them.

I respectfully disagree with you Chandler but thats what opinions are all about hence the "IMO" at the end of my post. (IMO=In my opinion)

But this debate is undebatable because I find people have strong feelings about this subject.

Its just like my hubby and I arguing about Pink Floyd.

I say Pink Floyd was Both Roger Waters and Gilmour together and he respectfully disagrees. He believes that without Roger, there is no Pink Floyd. I believe if Gilmour left, there is no Pink Floyd. Anyhow I'm just confusing myself now!!

I decline to comment on the new AIC with the new singer because I haven't heard anything from them. How did I miss that?

Also Xavier Rudd for sure.
Would Love an Incident!!!
Some High Grade Reggae like Burning Spear or the Marleys together.
I dig the Santana idea. Just saw him after Rothbury for my birthday. GREAT Show!
Femi Kuti would be a groovey afternoon of afobeat. He has a new CD.
Some Mighty MOS! Mos Def & The Roots for a hip hop sets.
Dj Sets from Z-Trip, Cut Chemist, & Bassnectar...
A set from the FLECKTONES would make a good late afternoon jazz-grass set.
Bring Back LOTUS!!!
The Chemical Brother playing the Crystal Method slot is a sweet idea! Or even CM I missed IT!
I would like to see Ben Harper, moe., Umphrey's, Galactic, Greyboy Allstars, Dub Trio, Even 311 again... but at night.

DMB-They just make me feel good about life
Daft Punk-Never saw but know they would kill it at Rothbury
Thievery Corporation-First time at Rothbury and second will be at Riviera in Chicago Feb. 22-can't wait!
No matter what though, I trust the people who put together-the best festival I ever been to in my entire life-to blow us all away again. I will never forget seeing the forest for the first time. Words can not do that experience justice.

This was also when we were being filmed by some weird guy with a professional camera lol. Still weird thinking about it. But yeah that forest was a-mazing.

^^^^^Honestly radiohead at a fest is only good for like the first 2,000 people. Which for them yeah its sweet, but theres a lot more. Me and my girlfreind went 2 see em at lolla last year and was really excited and there was just soooooooo many people and we got there an hour early and we were sooo far away that there was absolutely no intamcy with the show at all. I understand that is one of the downsides of festivals, but I never had as much as a prob with it as I did with radiohead. If the mars volta played I would nuts I heard their amazng live and flips Ive wanted to see forever. Wonder if they would play the UFO show seems like most festivals are wanting em to play that. Ide also be really interested in animal collective. I just picked up tv on the radio 2 days ago and im diggin it but i dont know hw good it would be live. Holy nuts and Sigur Ros would be aaaamazing.

i think your problems with the radiohead show weren't about the people, but with the venue. i saw radiohead at bonnaroo in 06, and i can't even put into words how absolutely incredible it was. and i have yet to meet even one person who had ANYTHING bad to say about it. city fests are not at all like camping fests.

i saw TMV live in austin, and i wasn't impressed. omar is a great guitarist, but they just didn't sound as good as i expected, although the stage performance was great. i think mostly, though, it's just not the type of music i usually go for.

sigur ros is definitely something i would love to experience with all my infoberries. i saw them at bonnaroo this past summer, and it was the most epically beautiful show i've ever been to, and everyone around me felt it too. nothing else existed for those 2 hours...the lead singers voice is just...enthralling...i dunno. so yes, sigur ros at rothbury would be AWESOME.

I saw Mars Volta open for RHCP, and all i have to say is that it was AWFUL. I don't know if it was just because they had an opening slot and it wasn't headline, but the sound was terrible. It was just a wall of sound that you couldn't distinguish if they were playing a song or just strumming really loud. I am definitely willing to give them another shot because i LOVE their albums, but i'm just not sure this is the type of music i would want at a festie.

I love Jack and saw him for the first time this summer. I took my neice who just turned 13 for her first show as her birthday gift. We had a fine time, the music was good, but it was TOO laid back if that's possible. As much as I love to listen to Jack and his feel good tunes, I don't so much know I'd spend the dough to see his show. I'd grove to his tunes at a festie if there wasn't a huge conflict tho.

now his buddy - Donavon Frankenreiter - I'd see him again in a heartbeat! What a fun time I had at his local Halloween gig! And I know Claire is in love w/his other buddy G. Love - I gotta learn more about this cat.

I have a feeling Jack Johnson might take it easy on the festivals this year after playing just about every one last year. I haven't seen JJ since Bonnaroo '03, and he's released quite a bit of new material since then, so it'd be good to see him. He'd be a good pre-headliner on Friday.

They're playing the friday of St. Pat's weekend at a casino in Atlantic City, about 2 hours from my house.... scrabbling desperately for the funds. Think I'll be able to convince my family to donate to the cause, it being my 40th birfday and all

I'd add Robert Randolph to the speculation list (if not added already). He's supposed to have a new album coming out this spring. Odds are he won't play back-to-back 'Roos, making 'Bury even more likely.

I do not know if anyone seen JJ Grey and Mofro, they played Sunday and I had to roll out early so I missed every band except Steel Pulse. If you have not heard them I suggest take a 2 minute listen on the iclips Rothbury link... http://www.iclips.net/content.php?content_id=21826. Especially, if you like blues rock. I never heard of them until I checked out all the live performances on iclip's site and I am sure glad I did. I definitely hoped they had a great time at Rothbury because I would love to catch them this time. I am requesting off for the entire concert and do not plan to miss any of the action. Sounds like the fest is still on so I know I'll gone. If you know what I mean.

I believe there is a thread for JJ but YES we love Mofro here in Canada! He only came once to BLuesfest but We did catch him at Rothbury. I found the set kind of dry but then again maybe everyone was tired by Sunday afternoon. BUT We do love JJ Grey and Mofro, don't get me wrong! He is one of my FAVS to drive with on my stereo!!!!

I was just thinking and listening and think that The Meters/Meter Men would be a great addition for an afternoon funk/soul slot...much like C. Walker and Dynamites last year. I hadn't listened to the Dynamites much before then and the funk through the trees drug me away from Jakob Dylan and turned out to be one of the best sets of the weekend for me. So we need some funky funk, be it Dynamites, P. Funk, The Meters or some form of.

Radiohead? I'd like them to be there but I'd say unlikely. In some interview I read they said they have no tour plans after their tour of Japan which is over I believe? They toured all last year so I'd guess they're due for time off. But as far as Rothbury's and Radioheads values being in check, IF they did play a festival it'd have to be Rothbury.

Widespread Panic (2 nights)
Wilco
Umphrey's McGee
Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings
Railroad Earth
Tea Leaf Green (2 nights)
Junior Brown
WookieFoot
Trampled By Turtles
Cloud Cult
Everyone Orchestra
Kathleen Edwards
Pretty Lights
BoomBox
William Elliott Whitmore
Kinetix
The Macpodz
My Dear Disco
The Ragbirds
Enchanted Ape
+ 40 BANDS STILL TO BE ANNOUNCED!

THEREFORE, you can figure no Dave Matthews Band or Widespread Panic for Rothbury. Having Panic and DMB again in 2009 would look funny as they both played Rothbury in 2008 and KLF 2009 would look too similiar.

Same here giving me time to craft write and think. and dream of ROTHBURY!

Madison House acts....
Post by jljbird on Jan 22, 2009, 1:23pm

will most likely take up a good number of the stage performances just like 2008. According to their site they represent:

Bill Kreutzmann *
DJ Harry *
Emmitt-Nershi Band *
Garage A Trois
Keller Williams *
Michael Franti & Spearhead *
The String Cheese Incident *
World/Inferno Friendship Society
Abalone Dots
Angelique Kidjo
Augie March
Born in the Flood
The Dresden Dolls *
Drew Emmitt *
Drive-By Truckers *
JJ Grey & MOFRO *
Los Lobos
Paolo Nutini
Secret Machines
Sierra Leone's Refugee All Stars
Taj Mahal *
Bassnectar *
Break Science feat. Adam Deitch
Charlie Hunter
Chris Pierce
DJ Rekha *
The Greyboy Allstars
Karl Denson's Tiny Universe
Kraak & Smaak *
Lateef the Truthspeaker
Lifesavas
Lipp Service
Liza
Lotus *
Lyrics Born
The Mighty Underdogs
Perpetual Groove *
The Pimps Of Joytime
Pnuma Trio / Pnuma Live PA
Rachel Goodrich
RAQ
Reed Thomas Lawrence
Robert Walter Trio
Rupa & The April Fishes
Stanton Moore
Underground Orchestra
Yard Dogs Road Show *
C. Taylor Crothers

*Played Rothbury 2008

So, I suggest we could see some repeats and first timers from the list to "fill out" the bill. My votes would go to the following:

Karl Denson's Tine Universe
Galactic
String Cheese Incident (REUNION not individually)
The Dead
Perpetual Groove
Lotus
Los Lobos
Drive By Truckers
Michael Franti & Spearhead

Next I would go for SCI artists which would include String Cheese Incident plus:

Steve Winwood
Umphreys McGee
Yonder Mountain String Band

Next, I would look to midwest locals:

Greensky Bluegrass
Mr. Blotto
Muggs....

Then independents:

Original Wailers (not the Wailers who played in 2008 but other former members)

Then hit my usual festivalk biggies (that aren't already committed to a midwest festival):

Allman Brothers
Willie Nelson
Crosby and/or Nash and/or Stills and/or Young
Counting Crows
Black Crowes

Next, I would look for some cool imports such as A3 in 2008:

A3
Jeff Lang
Xavier Rudd
John Butler
Simply Red

Next a couple of once in a lifetime reunions or rare appearances:

Mott The Hoople
Soul 2 Soul
Ben Folds 5
Toad Teh Wet Sprocket

A cool "today" act:

The Fray
Adele

Last some living legends:

Patti Smith
Gil Scott Heron & Brian Jackson
George Clinton
Al Green
Robin Trower

Thoughts?

Re: Official Rothbury 2009 Artist Speculation Page
Post by williburgh on Jan 22, 2009, 1:36pm

Everything was great up to Soul 2 Soul and those "today" acts. I don't think Rothbury needs to have those kinds of bands there. They had John Mayer last year for the "pop" thing, but he is also an extremely talented guitarist who can get down when he wants to (although for some reason that I will never know, he chose to play a very 'poppy' and for the most part very crappy set at Rothbury). The Fray are a piano-driven pop band and really nothing more...so not really any place for them at Rothbury. But all the Madison House bands and just about everything else sounds good to me!

Adele still makes sense to me though....
Post by jljbird on Jan 22, 2009, 3:43pm

I like the Fray but have to agree with you that piano based acts would have a hard time....40,000 people singing How Top Save A Life? Ok, I'll take Gomez instead! I remeber going to Bonaroo a few years ago when Maroon 5 was suppose to play...they bailed and the stage was dark during their scheduled set. Frankly The Fray are more appealing than Maroon 5! Adele would be cool though. Joss Stone did a set at one of the Roos which was GREAT! And Rothbury did have some quieter sets (Jakob Dylan (real nice) and Beth Orton (nice personality but small crowd and a bit dull....where was Central Reservation?). There is a place for a few (3 to 4) of these more introspective quieter acts at Rothbury. Hey a dome would work!

By the way....
Post by jljbird on Jan 22, 2009, 3:47pm

why not Soul 2 Soul? We had Snoop and Steel Pulse? Whats wrong with some shake your azz funky dunky ducky muzic? They could raise the.......clouds? Or maybe Sounds of Blackness or Al Green? Original Wailers? Third World? They would all fit in. I am not saying headliners but diversity.

Re: Official Rothbury 2009 Artist Speculation Page
Post by williburgh on Jan 22, 2009, 5:15pm

I apologize for putting the ol' keebash on them before I looked past the few songs that I knew. I suppose if they brought the funk, they can stay

Al Green, The Wailers...all good. And I agree about those quieter acts, but I'd rather see that spot go to someone like Mason Jennings or Norah Jones. Those sets are very nice for eating lunch and sitting in the grass for (which is what I did for Ingrid Michaelson).

If you want a Piano act that will fit in at a festival, look no further than Jon Cleary and the Absolute Monster Gentlemen. Funk meets ragtime meets New Orleans.

I agree that Mason Jennings is mellow, but I saw him a couple months ago at the Bowery Ballroom and I was dancing my ass off. (Of course, I very well might've been the only fool dancing.)

I'd be ok with Mason being at Roth.. no conflicts.. I'd be where ever he wasn't. He's okay, i'm not dissin' Mason, kinda quirky and fun, but I've seen him twice and would probably opt out. but that's just me. Everyone has their own ear.

Honestly I would love to see Kid Rock come out and show his Michigan peeps some love, might not be the style Rothbury-goers are looking for but I think he would play an awesome Snoop Dogg-esque show for Rothbury '09
Also I would love to see a Modest Mouse encore performance, they were definitely my favorite day show of '08 and a return would be nice.
Other than that give me some rave shows, more Crystal Method, STS9, throw in some Girl Talk and Bassnectar, and top it off with some Daft Punk

and all my dreams will have come true...

Lets try these for fun......
Post by jljbird on Jan 22, 2009, 10:53pm

Joe Cocker (come on he played Woodstock!!!!!!!)

Coldplay (headliners)

Van Morrison (b4 Coldplay perhaps?)

Graham Parker (with the Figs...pubrock lives!)

Nick Lowe (ditto...great 2 CD best of just out!)

Bruce Cockburn (new 2 CD solo live CD out in March!)

Dixie Chicks (bluegrass with attitude...and a big mouth but sure would be fun)

Joan Osborne (amazing talent and a true hippie at heart....she can join the Dead who are one of my other headliners)

and I am liking the idea of the Allman Brothers more and more. They seem to be doing regional festivals to celebrate their 40th...see:

Mountain Jam 2008 by Adam McCulloughRadio Woodstock and acclaimed guitarist Warren Haynes (Gov't Mule, The Allman Brothers Band, The Dead) have once again teamed up to bring the fifth annual Mountain Jam Music Festival to picturesque Hunter, NY from Friday, May 29 - Sunday, May 31.
Gov't Mule will anchor the festival for the fifth year in a row, while The Allman Brothers Band will make their exclusive Northeast festival appearance at Mountain Jam as part of their 40th anniversary celebration. In addition, the three-day event will celebrate the 40th anniversary of the legendary Woodstock Music & Arts Festival, which took place in nearby Bethel, NY. Early bird tickets will go on sale Monday, January 26 through www.mountainjam.com.

So now I have my 3 (Friday, Saturday, & Sunday) headliners as Coldplay (Friday), Allman Brothers (Saturday), and Phish (Sunday). Tom Petty is on b4 the Allmans, Van Morrison is on b4 Coldplay, and String Cheese Incident on b4 Phish. Willie Nelson is Thursdays at 9:00 with Railroad Earth following him at 11:00 like last year. Bruce Cockburn is also a Thursday act, maybe the 2nd festival act. Geensky Bluegrass is the 1st festival performer.

Hopefully they won't allow repeat performers from year to year to keep the fest fresh. I think there are lots of big bands that could join this year that didn't play last year.

There's a Phish rumor out there but I don't think that will happen because they are likely playing Bonnaroo. As far as headliners go, I like the Beastie Boys for a night.

I think there are alot of mid tier bands that will jump on like My Morning Jacket, Wilco, The Roots and Umphrey's McGee. I don't see them going the metal route like Bonnaroo. I think it will be indie and hippie based like last year with a few rap acts mixed in.

You are forgetting that Madison House represents 2/3 of the bands that were at Roth last year and seeing as how they are putting on the fest its a good bet that many of them will be back this year.

I saw Jim James do a solo set at the Newport Folk Festival this past summer and it was a really enchanting experience.. Sometimes MMJ's epic music overwhelms the beauty of the lyrics, but it really shined through in such an intimate setting. Jim even busted out the Omnichord for good measure.
He also did a few sit ins w/ She & Him and Calexico... Be great to see him on his own again. (Then again, I don't think much could compare to MMJ's latenight last year at Bonnaroo).

Yup, my comment should have said "kind of like the Wailers early afternoon set at Rothbury 2008". My bad! Sean Kuti and Femi Kuti both released CDs recently and both are great. Since they could leave Milwaulkee after their July 2nd show and head to Toronto via Detroit or Port Huron for a show in Toronto on the 4th, playing Rothbury on the 3rd seemed possible/logical. They would probably choose to play an afternoon or early evening slot to make it work though.

Langerado dead, LONG LIVE ROTHBURY!
Post by jljbird on Feb 3, 2009, 4:04pm

Langerado was officially canceled earlier today (see below). My question is, will the acts that had intended to play there now look at Rothbury and will Rothbury see more attendees as Langerado was more like Rothbury than Bonnaroo (i.e. jammy) anyway? Bonnaroo's performers this year (not my cup of tea as a whole) should also result in additional sales for Rothbury? I have been to Bonnaroo twice and loved it but it has changed. The reasons I went don't exist anymore. Rothbury was amazing and if they stay the course (The Dead, The Allman Brothers, SCI) will succeed. I mean really Nine Inch Nails????????? Sorry but not at Rothbury!

[b][b][i]2/3/09, 1:57 pm EST

This year�s Langerado Festival in Miami, Florida, has been canceled, the fest�s organizers revealed today in a statement. The seventh annual Langerado, scheduled for March 6-8th at Miami�s Bicentennial Park, was set to feature performances by Death Cab for Cutie, Modest Mouse, Ryan Adams, Snoop Dogg, Deerhunter, Thievery Corporation and many more. �Sluggish ticket sales� were the reason for the cancellation according to the festival�s Website, as �Langerado�s independent local promoters, faced with a very tough decision in a dismal economy, canceled the 2009 event only after every possible option was exhausted.�

�Unfortunately, during these difficult economic times, and facing a first year in a new venue, it�s become apparent that we cannot execute a production that lives up to the high standards of our past events,� Langerado Co-Promoter Ethan Schwartz said. �Putting Langerado on hold was the toughest decision we have ever had to make. We are very grateful for the support of the greater-Miami community and the music community during this difficult time.� All tickets purchased for the event will be refunded.

It seems like all facets of the music industry, from album sales to ticket sales to merchandising, is bracing for or is already feeling the inevitable effects of the recession. Sadly, Langerado is one of the first of many festivals that will either be canceled or postponed due to the current economy. British Columbia�s Pemberton Festival also announced plans to take 2009 off to focus on their 2010 fest.

Specifically I'd like.....
Post by jljbird on Feb 3, 2009, 4:12pm

Many of Langarado's acts if they played Rothbury......check this out. I mean really:

Snoop Dogg
Thievery Corporation
Ryan Adams and the Cardinals
The Pogues
Matisyahu
Michael Franti & Spearhead
Umphrey�s McGee
The Disco Biscuits
Robert Randolph & The Family Band
Steel Pulse
Public Enemy
Ozomatli
George Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic
Lotus
Spam Allstars

That would make for a nice start for Rothbury!

The crowd sure seemed to enjoy it. I found it interesting to see how big the crowd swelled from the beginning of his set to the end. I watched from that artsy building up on the hill, needed a bit of shade. He really got them moving. "I wanna see all you Rothburies JUUMMMPPPIIINNN'!!!!" He'll be playing here in Indy next week. can't wait!

Wow, thank you!
All the people I went to his show with last year at Rothbury thought it was some sort of legendary performance. I thought it was extremely boring.

Maybe it's just me, but his music/lyrics seem like he's trying to hard to be meaningful in his lyrics and all of his songs sound forced/boring.

There is a lot of bands from Rothbury 2008 but I would keep my eye out on these guys for Rothbury 2009..... and if you didnt catch greensky bluegrass last year, They are a local band in Michigan and Ive heard they will be opening up the festival this year ( some good Bluegrass!) dont forget to pray for Phish and the Dead guys!

1. on the other side of the state
and
2. Rothbury is very eco-friendly

I consider the guys in Radiohead to be very intelligent so i wouldn't think the detroit fiasco would play a part in their choosing of festivals.

No, I think I agree with you. Radiohead has played Bonnaroo and Lollapalooza, the two biggest festivals in the country. I'm not sure if Rothbury draws enough people - or whether you want it to - to pay for Radiohead, especially considering that the promoter just had to file for bankruptcy to keep the festival going.

Not trying to be a buzzkill, but it seems unlikely to me. Same with the Dead, but for a different reason...with Bobby playing High Sierra Fri and Sat the weekend of the 4th it doesn't look too hot, although he could theoretically catch a flight to Michigan for the Dead to close Sunday...so we'll see...

I'm still hoping the Dead are there, more than any other band.

i dont think radiohead would hold an incident in Detroit against rothbury which is
1. on the other side of the state

2. Rothbury is very eco-friendly

I consider the guys in Radiohead to be very intelligent so i wouldn't think the detroit fiasco would play a part in their choosing of festivals.

i don't think it would come down to that, either. it is just interesting that Radiohead have not played in michigan since the detroit incident.

Though we discussed (and attempted to refute) this topic last year, i actually read a blurb about the matter, confirming radiohead avoiding michigan (simply put) a while back.

I have a gut feeling Cypress Hill is gonna make an appearnace maybe in snoops spot last year, or late night. They have a new album coming out this year and is highly possible they check out the 'Bury.
Oh and for some reason I also have a feeling about Huey Lewis and the News. would I be the only one excited?

Which artists are into 'greening'? I think we'll see a bunch of these...

I know John Mayer has some products he's developed ~ recycleable christmas cards that come with a return so you enjoy the card then send it back for recycling.. and some other things... so maybe he'll be back..

I know Brett Dennen also supports greening efforts .. so maybe he too will be back..

Michael Kang was in one of the think tank discussions.. so maybe

who else? I don't think this vein has been explored much.

Jack Johnson supports efforts and insists on water stations at his individual shows...

I'm sure there are lots of others..

It's not going to matter a great deal to me... I'll be there come hell or high water. I just wanna know exactly when and what it's going to cost me!!

02/07/09: Arras
03/07/09: Werchter
05/07/09: Roskilde

I don't know where those places are, but I know they're not in Michigan haha

Bring Primus back, if they're comin' out this year
Mars Volta, oh yeah.
Bill Laswell's Material - anybody who saw the Bonnaroo '04 show knows what I'm talking about
Lips
Galactic
Patti Smith
King Sunny Ade
The Dead (yeah, you're yawnin', but let's see what they come up with this year-Warren, oh well...)
Jimmy Herring (playing w/Oteil and Sipe)
and for that matter, how 'bout inviting Col. Bruce to come this year with the ARU or Quark Alliance?
Medeski, Martin and Wood
Derek Trucks Band (NOT the Soul Stew Revival)

I'll take a pass on Petty, DMB and Mule

I would KILL to see the Fiery Furnaces on Rothbury. They were at 'Roo last year and I heard they killed it. There the best band alive, in my opinion, and they're sort of like a jam band or at least have the same aesthetic as one.

Of Montreal's recent tour isn't that good, considering the new album is pretty weak and that's most of the set list. When they were at Roth they were on they're "Hissing Fauna" tour and that was amazing. Nevertheless, one of the best alive.

TV On The Radio would be sweet. I've seen them 3 times, every time in a more popular setting. I seen them in a little club, then a slightly bigger venue, then a huge warehouse and now a festival? That'd be awesome. It's like tracking their popularity over time. But I seen them a few months ago and they are absolutely incredible.

Also, Zappa Plays Zappa is such a sweet show every time. I'm sure they killed it last Roth and I would kill for them to come back. Hopefully with a new set (REDUNZL!). Plus, they're on this "smaller venue" kick, which is cool but I refuse to pay $130 bucks to see it.

As for headliners? The Dead, Allmans, Roger Waters (that'd be ridonckulous) basically anything but Coldplay. And DMB (sorry).

Coldplay is a British pop group whose success derives from their ability to write melodramatic alt rock songs about fake love. It doesnt matter that they are about the shittiest f**k**g band i ever heard in my entire f**k**g life or that they sound like a mediocre photocopy of Travis (who sound like a mediocre photocopy of Radiohead), or that their greatest f**k**g artistic achievement is a video where their blandly attractive front man walks on a beach on a cloudy f**k**g afternoon. what matters is that Coldplay manufactures songs about fake love as frenetically as the ford motor company manufactures mustangs.

I wouldn't mind having the band "Two Gallants" play Roth. They're on the 2008 Bonnaroo dvd, I really like the song on there. Wish I would've seen them when I was there. Add that to the list of "Should've seen at that festival I went to" list.

Also Cut Chemist. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wE_E2vGU_ck&feature=related

This is crazy sasquatch announced it's lineup today and the rumors were EXACTLY true. I really hope that doesn't mean our rage/neil/SCI rumors are true or I will be soooooo depressed......last year so many festivals had unbelievable lineups (Rothbury, sasquatch, gotvb, Mile High Festival, Outside Lands....the list goes on) And I have not seen one festival this year (besides maybe 10klf) that i have been excited about their lineup......this just is not my year... :-(

Start making your lists, focus on getting everything ordered that needs to be ordered so that you don't have to pay any expedited shipping costs, figure out a cool costume, wile away some time at coolneon.com and before you know it we'll all be on here gabbing about the lineup!! :-*

They did a one-off show in London last year, and a few dates in London and NY in 2005 before that. Clapton & Winwood did a mini-Blind Faith reunion last year for 3 nights at MSG in NY as well.

I wouldn't put a Clapton & Friends show out of the question just yet...

I'm from Rothbury and there are massive rumors around here that Tom Petty, Mastadon, AC/DC, Radiohead are going to play but, my friends dad is a promotor for Muskegon Summer Celebration, and his dad told me he's worked with Madison House and has ties, and he said he has heard the same rumors from his "Ties".

I'm just going to assume you spell "The Dead" like this--> (AC/DC) odd, speelling but i know you didnt mean ac/dc for real because that would be catastrophic.

Not too sure if they would play there if The Dead are a headliner though.

I'm not allowed to spill that info.

Dead, SCI and Allman Bros. Band definitely all happening...the guy is telling me that the rumors of them going more Rock (i.e. ac/dc, rage, neil young, etc.) are off the mark, and that it's very much going to be a Hippie fest.

I want a hippie fest, but I don't want only jam bands. I think Neil Young headlining would be amazing. Possibly one of the best bands they could get. I liked the feel of Rothbury last year - focused on hippie/jam band scene, but not only inviting those bands (like 10K and All Good). I liked having Primus, John Mayer, Modest Mouse, Black Keys, etc. there.

I would really love to have a lot of the jam bands (Umphrey's, Dead, Widespread, Crowes, moe.) with bands like FLips, Neil Young, Mars Volta, and such...

That is how everyone's first STS9 show usually goes so I understand. But I'm sorry, but they could've dropped it WAY harder at Rothbury. It was cool hearing a lot of their first album, but after buying the show and giving it more of a listen...they came out weak. I definitely want them back and hopefully they'll have a much more hype setlist. If you want a solid show of theirs, PM me and I'll let you peep last year's Congress show.

I think that possibly STS9 shows have been better other places, but this STS9 show at Rothbury was one of the best not only because of the musicians, but because of the CROWD! I can't even describe that crowd in words. Everyone was so...

I've been to STS9 shows in smaller venues, losthorizon, and in those venues, the crowds were actually not all that good to be honest... I mean, there's always the "dance all night" feel, but the feel of the crowd at Rothbury... in my opinion, that was the climax of the entire festival, that night.

All the guys in DSO know the folks at the ledges really well, the ledges is sort of a place of relaxation for them, and they aren't going to be packing up and leaving early. Im sorry for whoever is let down...but maybe this just means there is that much more chance that The Dead will be there right??? ...and i swear this is as reliable as it gets guys...

EOTO's �Dance Party Music For Your Own Personal Spacecraft�
Amy Jacques
2009-02-22
Known for a rigorous touring schedule and an otherworldly sound of original, danceable beats and multi-layered textures, the former String Cheese Incident percussionists that comprise EOTO have hit the road again. As Michael Travis and Jason Hann embark on the first leg of their North American tour � with some 80 shows scheduled already from February through April � they look forward to the rhythm of the road and the experience of playing some familiar haunts as well as a few new venues. With stops in California and Canada and everywhere in between � and a Florida spring break run that includes stops in the Keys � the duo may be setting the pace to pass 2008�s string of 189 live dates.

On the even of its Felton show, EOTO � or �good sound� in Japanese � pulls the tour bus over at In-and-Out Burger off of a California highway to grab some fuel for the road. Here, jambands.com speaks with Jason Hann about life on the road night after night, going back to the studio to record a new album and the quest to find tickets to see Phish in Hampton.

AJ: Tell me about this upcoming tour � do you have a favorite venue or particular city that you are most excited to play?

JH: Our biggest crowd, playing with EOTO, has been out in Minneapolis. The promoter and the kids that get the word out do great job � from our first time out there, it�s been really happening. The thing that�s great about playing all of these cities is each one has something different or a little special to offer. And it makes us play differently too, trying to read the crowd, and seeing what they�re into and what they�re going for.

It�ll be interesting to see Charlottesville, VA � we�ve never played there before. And Huntsville, AL � people have been telling us to go there for a long time. Most of the other cities we�ve been through before.

We are also doing a week down in Florida � a Spring Break run, which we�ve never done before. So we�re going down to the Keys, Miami, Delray Beach, Palm Beach and Gainesville � Florida is a really nice state to tour. I�m from Florida, so I�m looking forward to going back down there. And on spring break there are a million kids down there looking for things to do every night [laughs] � so we�re hoping to catch a lot of people around there.

AJ: Do you have any plans for live painters on this tour?

JH: We don�t usually schedule that per se. But we know painters in several towns and when they know we�re coming to town and they�ll get in touch with us about coming down to a show. We�ve had four painters show up to paint with us at the same time before. It�s really great � all different artists and seeing what visuals they come up with night after night too.

AJ: Do you guys have any festivals on the horizon for this summer?

JH: We�re definitely doing Wakarusa. And probably ROTHBURY. And then there are quite a few festivals in Oregon that we will be doing � the Garden Party � and of course Sonic Bloom that we do every year out in Colorado, also Camp Bisco and probably Starscape out in Baltimore too.

AJ: This past year Michael Kang and Kyle Hollingsworth often sat in, do you anticipate a lot of collaborations on this tour?

JH: We just played in L.A. and Steve Molitz from Particle, who�s played with us quite a few times before, sat in for a little bit. And we�re going to do another show in Chicago this year with Kyle and Kang joining us. And Kang is going to do another show with us later down the road in Birmingham. We�ll do most of the tour as just the two of us, but as we run into people or someone comes to the venue that we know, we�re always happy to have them come up and play with us � it always makes us play differently too.

AJ: I saw that you played 189 shows in 2008, which was the third highest of any band reported. How do you keep momentum going night after night?

JH: Wow. I�ve never heard of it in any kind of context like that regarding what anyone else is doing. For us, I think part of it helps that we are making up all of the music every night. Some people are like, �Well, how do you do that?� [laughs] But it�s one of those things like painting or writing � if you�re doing it everyday, there comes a point where you either get tired of what you�re doing and you force yourself into an area of finding different ways to get inspired or finding different ways of creativity. And you get used to that part of the journey as much as the music that you�re making every night.

It�s stimulating the creative process to really use your whole brain on a nightly basis. And that part of it is super exciting as well as getting the people to dance and getting that party atmosphere going. It�s equally exciting just to be creating music night after night. We would both rather be playing than not playing on any given night of the tour. It�s nice to have a night off once in awhile and go to a nice place on the beach somewhere or up at Mt. Shasta or something like that. Other than that, we would rather not be sitting in a hotel room for an entire day.

AJ: You mention the beach and the mountains � what do you do in those few moments of down time that you have on those off nights?

JH: Really I just try not to think about anything else. I think that�s the best thing about those types of places � when you get that quiet time or that chill out time, you just give yourself a chance to recuperate. There is definitely a physical aspect to doing what we do many nights and being on the road so many nights � and sometimes you don�t think about it until you get that time off. And then the body is like, �Ahh, thank you.� [laughs]. And then it�s just that much more rejuvenating when we play the night after that.

AJ: Do you and Travis have plans to attend the Phish reunion shows in Hampton since you will be in the area to play a late night show?

JH: If we�re up there, we will try to go. We�re having just as hard a time as anybody else getting tickets. I�ve never seen Phish live before, actually. And Phish is one of Travis� more inspirational bands in his formative years of playing music � he really looked up to those guys. So, I definitely want to go � I�ve heard a lot about it. And I�ve seen some of their solo side projects a couple of times at other festivals and stuff. So, I�m down for the experience.

AJ: Do you have a particular Phish song that�s one of your favorites?

JH: I know a lot of words from songs, but I don�t actually know all the titles. We actually do �First Tube� with EOTO, our own sort of version of it. We don�t make it a part of any kind of setlist, but if we�re feeling it, we can kind of go there at a moment�s notice. But that definitely always gets a good reaction from the crowd.

AJ: How would you describe or classify your sound in just a few sentences?

JH: It�s definitely dance party music for your own personal spacecraft. That�s how I would say it, as any easy way to put it � I mean we play a lot of different styles of music. Three days from now, I�ll find a different space than today. It�s hard to define it as just one thing, but it definitely is all about partying and the dance. And we bring a positive vibe with it. Sometimes at a hip-hop show or something, a lot of the music has to have cursing in it � or you find that you have to have a lot of street credential from a rapper. But, for our thing, it�s about creating a lot of different textures, but it�s also about uplifting at all times. We�ll create textures and sonic soundscapes that are like digital jungles with animals crawling through and growling through them. And we definitely go to a dark space too, but that�s not a depressing space at all.

AJ: Who are some of your musical influences?

JH: One of our biggest influences is a guy named Chipper from the U.K. And Bassnectar has definitely been a big influence on us. We�ve also been listening to a lot of Dub Step lately and so some of the guys I like to listen to for that stuff are Excision and Caspa. And for some other music: Derek Carter, Daft Punk and Paul Lanka.

AJ: Do you have a favorite musical moment or one that you�re most proud of?

JH: I got a chance to play with Herbie Hancock once in my life and that was pretty huge because he�s been such a big influence for me. I got to play about three songs with him at this party. And they had a piano there for him in case he would show up, and he showed up and we got a chance to play for awhile. But there are a lot of different moments in music, and that�s one of the great things about it. All sorts of different situations come up that are huge high moments. And there have been many � but that would be the immediate singular moment that sticks in my mind for me.

AJ: You guys put out Razed last spring. Are there any plans for an upcoming album any time soon?

JH: Actually, yes. We�re looking at going into the studio in maybe June. We don�t know exactly how we want to do it yet, but we�ve talked about doing a 3-disc set where each disc maybe has a different style of music like psych-house or electro or dub-step or downtempo. You know those are just some really distinct styles that we do. Sometimes live, we don�t get to just pick out one style for the night. So we sort of take the crowd on a journey and switch up the variety. But we got to play a downtempo set at a festival called Shambhala � and that�s another festival we will play this summer up in Canada � and we played an all downtempo set while the sun was coming up. It was just so beautiful. We could just be in that one mode and people were really digging it. So, I think we might aim toward that kind of theme � a multi-disc set � when we go into the studio next time.

AJ: What�s up next for EOTO � anything else you wanted to share?

JH: All of our shows are available now for download. We�ve been doing that since the fall tour. Livedownloads.com and search for EOTO. It�s really great because you can review all the songs and you can see how much our sound changes throughout the course of a tour. The west coast sounds a little different and then we�ll hit Colorado... You can also tell the changes we�re going through with back-to-back shows. Certain sounds come up again, but also get filtered through and will evolve into something else.

The Werks Cd Release Party And An Evening Full Of Music
Christina Chaffin - Staff Writer
February 20, 2009
For live music, from bands and solo artists, come to the KU Pub on Saturday for Winterfest 2009, hosted by the UD alum musical group, The Werks.

"We are really excited about reaching that next level and we have UD to thank for helping us along the way," Rob Chafin, The Werks' lead drummer and vocalist, said.

Since 2005, The Werks have grown musically, consisting of Chafin, guitar and vocalist Chris Houser, bassist and vocalist Chuckie Love and keyboardist Norman Dimitrouleas.

Winterfest is an upcoming gig for The Werks to promote its second album, "Synapse," and enjoy its musical roots at UD. Its first album, "Dig It," was recorded live at ArtStreet.

"'Dig It,' was actually a live album recorded on April 20, 2007 at ArtStreet Ampitheatre, so it's obviously really raw," Chafin said. "This second album, 'Synapse,' was done in the studio, so it's very clean and sharp. We have played close to 200 shows since our live album."

Besides The Werks, Winterfest will feature other musical acts such as The Twin Cats from Indianapolis, Pat Kelly and the Early Timers of UD and singer-songwriter Kelly Fine of UD. The event will also feature an indoor light show sponsored by Earthgroove Productions.

"This show will also be The Werks CD release party for our new album," Chafin said.

Since 2005, The Werks have grown into a regional act. The group has performed at venues in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Missouri, Kentucky, Pennsylvania and all over Ohio. It hopes to tour in Colorado in the fall after the festival season.

"We have been playing heavily all over the Midwest and are looking to expand past that within the next year," he said. "The music festival circuit is our main goal, so national festivals like Summercamp, Rothbury and other music festivals are on our radar."

Chafin said he is looking forward to Winterfest and hopes to see a great turnout of people. He said there are a lot of younger students on campus who don't know who they are.

"I'm glad we have the opportunity to get in front of a lot of new faces and show them what we are all about," he said.

Chafin said the band has been successful since graduating from UD.

"I can honestly say that we would not be where we are today if it wasn't for the help we initially received from the UD community," he said.

I hope they're at Roth b/c I wouldn't pay to see them at their own show. I'm one of the rare people who is not sure about post-Jerry Dead. I'm curious, but on the fence. Rothbury would be a good way for me to form an opinion.

I've reading these boards for any Rothbury big announcment for artists. I don't think I've seen this name yet. Mabey I'll create some hope, but here is a headliner guess.

Paul McCartney(Playing Coachella)
The Dead
Neal Young

Paul and the Dead were the big rumors for bonnaroo...not sure if you saw the fake list on photobucket but that lineup would have been sick. bring it on for rothbury if that be the case.

Post by ratatatpat on Feb 23, 2009, 3:51pm

I didn't see it anywhere. I was just guessing, what would trump Roo's lineup to keep us waiting this long. But a Beetle? I couldn't imagine how awesome that woul be.

it really can't get much better if you have a beatle and the Dead in the same festival. Definitely something to be holding out for.

I've not seen the Dead, but I was just as unconvinced by both Ratdog and Phil and Friends until I saw the Phil show at Rothbury, which just so happened to be my favorite show of the entire experience. I'm still not sure about Ratdog, but I'm definitely psyched to see the Dead. This might be the last chance to see all the remaining guys together again.

If the Dead do not play I want Ratdog there. I love Phil, but is last few tours haven't matched up with Bobby's. I will be very pleased if either the Dead, Ratdog, or Phil make an appearance.

I'm putting this in the speculation page b/c it certainly isn't a rumor. Acc to Pitchfork, all of Pavement except Spiral Stairs took stage this weekend at Nastanovich's wedding reception. Man would it be sweet if they reunited an hit the festival scene (starting with Rothbury of course). Yes, yes, I know what they've all said over the years, but a girl can hope.

"At one point during the night, all the members of Pavement except Spiral Stairs were briefly on stage together making music-- Stephen Malkmus, Steve West, Mark Ibold, and Nastanovich didn't do any Pavement songs, but they did do "Rock This Party", which is even better under the circumstances. "

Obviously there were shows that I couldnt believe people loved last year, and yes, I simply didnt go to them. But NIN is a TOTALLY different kind of music than anything from last year. Once they go with the alt/heavy/double-bass/punk rock music, the whole festival will change. Not that NIN is all of those things, but other bands have been mentioned here that make me think, "do they remember last year?" Metallica/Tool/NIN whats next, Marylin Manson? Do you really want moshpits? Black clad depressed goths pondereing suicide who are unable to smile? Give me a break. Hippies are the best crowd, no problems/attitudes, proved it last year.

i have seen marilyn manson at ozzfest 2001 and my mom even said it was one of the best shows she has seen..next to PHISH! MM put on one hell of a rock show! it was pure rock and roll... not metal!!

NIN is not metal either...so stop classifying it into the same music as slayer, pantera, cannibal corpse or some other sinister nuts.... u obviously never listened to NIN, except their radio songs! they are electronic rock! get it right! have u heard of KMFDM? they are pretty much the same genre of music as NIN

and also Tool isnt metal either... it is progressive rock that has intelligent meaning behind every song!

and metalica...well ur right about them! i could do without!

and to say that "goth" looking ppl will be at rothbury? i really dont think those types of ppl would even want to go to a festival...even if their favorite band is going to be there! they dont like hippies and i really dont think they would waste $250+ on a festival of jam/electro/indie/whatever else to just see one band?!!?!

Its not bad music, it just doesnt fit Rothbury. At all. I dont care what you call it, prog rock, industrial metal (from wiki), I would probably laugh/scream out loud if I see them on the line-up. Whatever, its not that big of a deal, but it just seems to me that Rothbury was going to be a certain "type" of festival. And yes, I think that if those kinds of bands are booked, people will come out of the woodwork for one band, and to "check out" some others. My opinion only.

yes i do agree that people will come out of the wood work to see these bands. however some of those people who come to see them will walk away w/ a completely different perspective of music and see a whole other variety of music out there. myself included. i use to be one of those peopel that listened to only that kind of music. i experienced my first festival saw a whole other world out there!! My taste of music has changed & I haven't been the same since. Not to say I don't still love some of the old music i listened to before. i love the festie scene, the music it brings and the diversity it brings!! to me that is what these festivals are for!! not just for 1 paticular group of people.

I gotta say that the addition of a few "other-genre" bands (for lack of a better term) will not kill the vibe of Rothbury. What would kill the vibe at Rothbury is bigger crowds, tightened security processes, higher ticket prices and stagnant lineup/art/atmosphere. With the terrific size, friendliness of the staff and innovation, no band or two could kill our festival. Adding diversity can only make it stronger.

Re: Official Rothbury 2009 Artist Speculation Page
Post by meshell77345 on Feb 25, 2009, 12:43pm

I agree with canexplain. What's with the 'pregnant doggy' vibe here?

I came to Rothbury last year (my first camping festival) knowing the music of only a handful of bands on the lineup... and those being the most 'mainstream' of the whole lot ... DMB, John Mayer, Brett Dennen, Derek Trucks for the most part. Part of the excitement to me was to learn about 'new to me' bands.

I've been going to concerts for MANY years (30+) and thought I had a pretty good grasp of what was available to my ears. Much to my surprise!

I did some initial research beforehand to set up my tentative schedule (watching youtube vids of all bands and choosing from that who to see) I totally enjoyed the learning experience that Rothbury brought and have some new favorites and a new appreciation.

I'm not going to nix any band.. as they all have their fan base and something to offer. Until I hear them with my own ears, I have no idea if they are the band for me or not. And if they are not, Rothbury will have so many other things to occupy my attention, so it doesn't matter. I certainly wouldn't be upset.

People handle the stress of waiting on a lineup differently. Personally, I find it comical (if not a bit sad) to see all this fussing over speculation. Relax folks. March will be here soon.

^^^ amen.

where are we stressin about the unknown right now? When we have some concrete bands, then we can express our opinions regarding them.

But personally, I think it is ignorant to paint people with a broad brush, simply b/c they like certain music. I like country, jambands, alternative music, bluegrass, electronic, progressive, indie rock, old school rap.... so that would make me a redneck hippie frat boy farmer who attends raves every weekend when he's not hanging in the ghetto.....Come on!

lets me more respectful to peoples music tastes. if you don't like their taste in music then express it in a respectful mannor or don't express it at all.

And most importantly - I thought festivals where here to open people up to new experiences and talented musicians. I love this form b/c we have a lot of different points of view and opinions but it also helps me identify music I have never heard before.

Roth isn't going hard rock. I think they get it.

wow whats going on and why are people being crabby today??!? can't we all just be accepting of ALL music, and respectful of other people's musical tastes?

Yes Rothbury had a certain "vibe" last year, and we heard music that stuck to a few certain genres. But who's to say that throwing in some heavier rock or even metal would be bad? They did it at Bonnaroo with Tool and Metallica, and I was at both those shows... there were still hippies dancing like crazy everywhere, having a good time. I didn't see any sad goth kids at those shows lol.. if people go into this festival with the attitude that ONE band will change the whole vibe of the fest, the vibe will change... not because of one or 2 bands that are "out of the box", but because of the people who go there with that negative mindset. Remember, the BEST thing about these fests is that even if you HATE a few of the bands, there are many others to see instead!

can't we all just hug and get along??

PS vargawg... none of us call it "our" festival because we think we're "high and mighty" compared to anyone else, we just feel privileged to have been there the first year and can't wait to experience it again, and share that experience with all the new comers to the fest!

Im sure that has been posted before, but its so cool to see the Odeum at 10am with no one there. Im not a Phish fan at all, but this is one of my fav Rothbury videos.

Sorry for the negativity, I just have a strong preference in music. Trust me, Ive heard it all and I know what I like....so how about Slayer? ::)

I've also got to say, if the Allman Bros are really ok to play now, then they need to be at Rothbury too. I was the most pissed off person in the world when they cancelled Bonnaroo last year. I almost didn't go. I really can't believe they didn't make up that performance this year, but I will forgive them if they are at roth.

Thanks man! Here's a trick I've learned.... the music you fall asleep to will never show up in your dream, but the music you wake up to DOES turn up in your dreams... So put together some awesome music for when you're sleeping and buy an uncomfortable pillow that wakes you up every so often and BAM.... you're dream-jammin'.

Do you think they could pull in U2? New album being released shortly, along with Bono's various "save the earth" related political platforms, I could see him leading a think tank session or two. Not sure if their music would be a good fit, but their "agenda" certaintly fits with the Rothbury theme.

A BIG dream, but U2 would certainly draw the crowds and act as a nice counter blow to Phish being at roo.

I'll agree that a good headliner or two makes you money worth it, but then again the value of all the lesser knowns are worth wayyyy more then the price of that tkt, then throw in the experience of the whole thing and i'd say it's money well spent, headliner or not... but that's not even an issue, Rothbury will definitely pull off a few ridiculous headliners, i can almost guarantee it

I have to disagree. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed most of the headliners last year. But when I think of the shows that really stuck out and blew my mind, not a single one was a headliner. They were all mid afternoon and latenight.

Re: Official Rothbury 2009 Artist Speculation Page
Post by darthboobookittyf on Feb 26, 2009, 4:26pm

The headliners don't justify the money for me. The undercard is where it's at. Where else do you get to see bands three days in a row for 16+ hours/day? It's a real value for me to see bands I love or new bands all in one convenient location. That justifies the money in my mind. Good headliners are just a bonus.

Re: Official Rothbury 2009 Artist Speculation Page
Post by wayfaringstranger on Feb 26, 2009, 4:49pm

I agee with clair and darth.... its not the headliners that make it worth the money................ the tickets are that expensive because of the venue. How much money do you think the Sherwood Forest cost? and all the other art there.... The music is obviously the biggest selling point but i think a lot of your ticket goes to the venue ( set up , staff to run festival, take down ) Thats a lot of man hours being racked up and they are doing all so you can have an amazing and safe time. The musicians come and play and get paid for their set. But there are thousands of people putting labor into that venue and AEG and MAdison has to pay them some how.

Basically i think a majority of your ticket goes to the people who put on the festival not the entertainers..... so think about that ....

you cant go to something like this for JUST the music or for JUST the ( for lack of a better word) trippy venue..

Re: Official Rothbury 2009 Artist Speculation Page
Post by magodee on Feb 26, 2009, 4:54pm

It's the whole package really.....the only thing i was saying earlier was completely monetary...Because a lot of the "undercards" as you say you can see those shows fro 10-20 bucks.....the headliners worth is genreally in the 60-100 range thats all i was saying, i mean that makes the tickets 250 thats just a fact.

Post by tiga17 on Feb 27, 2009, 9:19am

the headliners are usually pretty good bands at fests. however, what i love the most about festivals is the atmosphere and finding great music during the earlier shows. most of the best shows that i have ever seen were not the headliners. you can go see a headliner anywhere in any city- you can't go camping for 3 days just randomly and get all the other great acts, atmosphere, and vendors. the ticket prices are so woth it. even for vip (which was around 500) figure:

500/4 days= 125 per day
125/6 shows= 20.83

plus you have to figure in the actual camping, free rides, showers, art, vendors, etc! 20.83~ you can't get much for that these days!

wow that was kinda harsh.

do I wish the cost was cheaper well of course who wouldn�t. however I�m going to pay what it takes to put me at the happiest place on earth. And no complain. Well let me revisit possibly stress how I�m gong to come up w/ the amount to go. But not complain or gripe about the cost. I go for all the music, the art, the atmosphere and the experiences. I don�t care when the music is played whether it�s during the day, headlining slots or late night. Now don�t get me wrong some shows are better as late night but either way I�m going to see them.

What if all the early 90's bands were still together/alive. I couldnt imagine a fest with the likes of Nirvana, Alice in Chains, STP, Soundgarden, Temple of the Dog, Rage, Pumpkins, Blind Melon, Beastie Boys.....wsg Dr. Dre/Eazy-E and 2pac.

Whoa... I come back to the board and we're talking about U2?!?!

Why would you all waste your time with U2? Whenever I hear U2 mentioned... its basically the same as when I hear Coldplay mentioned... a little person comes out from under my computer desk and delivers me a punch in the balls.

ANYWAY

Headliners are very important at festivals because they draw a big chunk of the crowd -- who in turn, pay for all the little bands most of the festies dig, as well as Sherwood. And let me assure you, Sherwood did not cost nearly as much as Dave.

Basically -- EVERY band, big or small, has a very important place within the festival. Without either the big or small... Rothbury would simply not be Rothbury.

So instead of trying to sound cool by saying that you skipped out on the headliners for some other bands... which is the whole point of Rothbury giving you a choice... why not just ... well ... not say anything at all? AND JUST DANCE MOFOS!!! DANCE!

Since the lineup wait is killing me I decided just to head to Rothbury and set up camp already. It's cold here, the wireless connection is spotty and the only headliner they could bring in this early is an old Dusty Springfield 8 track tape, but the up side is that I have a great spot and I don't have to buy ice to keep the beer cold. See you this summer!

In all seriosity, though, who cares who goes for what - let's just go. C'mon diverse lineup! C'mon similar price to last year! C'mon new fun stuff to do! Just C'MON!

DrNick, I think you missed the point of most of the posts - that not liking one or all of the headliners shouldn't ruin the festival.

Post by drew0 on Feb 27, 2009, 2:51pm

Headliners are pretty important. A large part of the reason I went last year was because Widespread & DMB are two of my favorite bands, and as a huge Dead fan I'm always open to seeing Phil in a headlining spot.

The importance of headliners is also shown through Langerado. While they shot themselves in the foot from moving to a camping site to one of the most expensive cities on the east coast, they also went under because their headliners were ... Thievery Corporation, Snoop Dog, and Death Cab for Cutie. I mean, there were rumours of Dave Matthews/Pearl Jam/Widespread. If that was the case, I probably would have gone. But with Thievery/Snoop/Death Cab headlining...no thanks.

Post by jammin64 on Feb 27, 2009, 2:57pm

I suggest you check out the All Good festival�s line up. All Good is the week after the 4th and usually has most of the bands that play at Bonnaroo or Rothbury.

From last year's line up comparison to this year's initial line up you can come up with a pretty good guess:

All Good 2008

Phil Lesh & Friends
Widespread Panic
Gov�t Mule
Michael Franti & Spearhead
Keller Williams and the WMD�S
Derek Trucks and Susan Tedeschi Soul Stew Revival
Medeski, Martin & Wood
Railroad Earth
Tea Leaf Green
Basshound

Rothbury 2008

DAVE MATTHEWS BAND (Not at All Good)
Phil Lesh & Friends
Widespread Panic
Gov�t Mule
Michael Franti & Spearhead
Keller Williams and the WMD�S
Derek Trucks and Susan Tedeschi Soul Stew Revival
Medeski, Martin & Wood
Railroad Earth
Tea Leaf Green

All Good 2009

Ben Harper
Bob Weir & Rat Dog
Moe
STS9
Yonder Mountain String Band
Tea Leaf Green
BucketHead
Soja
BassNectar
Steve Kimoch Crazy Engine
Donna the Buffalo
Ivan Neville�s Dumpstaphunk
Todd Snider
Cornmeal

Then pick the bands from 10K Lakes Festival:
Dave Matthews Band, Widespread Panic (2 nights), Wilco, Umphrey's McGee, Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings, Railroad Earth, Junior Brown, Tea Leaf Green, WookieFoot, Trampled By Turtles, Cloud Cult, Everyone Orchestra, Kathleen Edwards, Pretty Lights, BoomBox, William Elliott Whitmore, Kinetix, The Macpodz, My Dear Disco, The Ragbirds, Enchanted Ape

Either way it should be a good time for the 4th.

So that's you up on the hill Darthboobookitty? I didn't think my wireless connnection carried all the way out to there not even spotty. By the way, turn up that Dusty Springfield my dogs love it, gets 'em yowlin' every time. And if you run out of beer, walk on over there's more in my fridge. Seriously,there is still a lot of snow in the woods up here, and it's kind of quiet. Much as I love the Michigan winter I can't wait for a joyful noise to come rockin through the woods on my liittle slice of heaven right next door to the Double J (or whatever they want to call it now), but give me a line-up though, please! I need to start diggin so I don't end up missin somebody I would've loved. Still bootin myself in the ass for passing up Of Montreal last summer.

BRUCE SPRINGSTEIN & THE ESTREET BAND

If they are there... I am not.

oh my! why would one band keep you from rothbury??

there are always so many more things to do at a festie! and you've gotta have SOME time to rest. i'm going to bonnaroo and Bruce is headlining Saturday night. couldn't have happened at a better time because it means i'll have ample time to go back to camp, rest up, get a little grub, and head back out for late night.

come on! don't let one band ruin it for ya man!

What about John Mayer and 311? As far as I'm concerned, they're both just as mainstream and corny as Taylor Swift.

and i hate to break it to you, but rothbury is already known by the masses. they won tons of awards and publicity last year with this greening initiative, and the strength of their lineup. so don't fool yourself into thinking this won't blow up in the next 3 years.

Hey now, I wasnt the one who claimed they wouldnt go.....well maybe I did when people kept the Tool/NIN/Radiohead crap going......But until I see that lineup, I would bet that none of those types of bands are booked. And yes, even if the headliners were Slayer/Godsmack/Buckethead, I WOULD GO.

AEG is totally and completely corporate. this whole argument simply comes down to OPINION. you say you think tool will ruin the vibe, i think it won't. no one is wrong...it's just about preference. i've seen both mayer and 311 live, and had a blast at both shows...blown away by mayer actually. festivals will ALWAYS be about variety. that's why it's a festival.

Oh, haha, you weren't the Springsteen guy? You should get an avatar, man, all those pictureless names look alike.

I'm probably going to Rothbury as long as the lineup isn't a bunch of crap, which I doubt it will be. Dave Matthews is a pretty big band though, I'd say that if Bonnaroo had the lineup Rothbury had last year, they would have pulled in 80,000 easily. The main reason Rothbury didn't have more people was because so many people were unsure of it, because nobody had ever been to Rothbury to test the waters for them.

Make no mistake, if they keep booking lineups like last year's, a lot of people are going to be going, unless they put an attendance cap on the festival. Can you see them doing that?

ah, well, i couldn't say for sure. i hear there's plenty of room to expand it, but i'm not sure if that's changed with this whole legal battle. because with more people, you need more parking and more camping, etc.

hopefully if they feel they want to expand they'll do it gradually, and not just jump in like bonnaroo did with 100k people.

Last year the cap was at 50,000, the same as this year. They didn't sell out last year either. Offical count was around 36,000 and some change.

If dead headlines, they will sell out probably, but 50,000 isn't really too overwhelming. I tend to like a bigger festival anyways, more friends, more diversity
