Vegoose Canceled?

From the Las Vegas Sun:

"Make other plans for Halloween in Las Vegas: The annual Vegoose Music Festival will not be presented this year. Not at the end of October or any other time. “We’re not doing it,” Daren Libonati, director of UNLV’s Thomas & Mack Center and Sam Boyd Stadium, said Monday. “(Vegoose producers) are still trying to figure out what we’re going to do or not do, but it doesn’t look like we’re going in that direction.”"

Hat tip to the joker on this one.

moe. & Robert Randolph Save Vegoose!

I must admit that I was a little disappointed with the original Vegoose 2007 lineup. It was a good lineup, I just didn't think that there was enough to make me really want to go (such as a Phil & Trey show).

With today's additions of moe. and Robert Randolph (among others) I officially REALLY want to go. Good job Superfly.

Catching Up

Let's just say that a combination of a lost ATM card, traveling across the country, and a wretched little bubble called Palo Alto has prevented posts for almost a week. Here's what went on...

-a giant Phil & Friends fall tour was announced

-the initial Vegoose lineup was released - Umphrey's, Franti, and STS9, and then...well...I'll limit my comments to "I don't hate Superfly Productions any less today"

-Austin City Limits announced their official aftershows

-Page McConnell and Mike Gordon rocked the Simpsons Movie premiere

-Arcade Fire addes U.S. tour dates

-the real Guns 'n' Roses will reunite to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Appetite for Destruction (without Axl)

-video of Tea Leaf Green 4/22/06 @ CBGB's

-oh yea, and a robot that plays Guitar Hero

UPDATE: Billboard confirms Rage to headline Vegoose

I would like to apologize to all ten of my devoted fans out there for the week long absence but with Bonnaroo and starting real work this week I've been kind of swamped...
