One of these days I swear we’re gonna convince our VICE buddies to throw something sick like this in Nashville. And even if you think the whole VICE/Scion thing is a sell out-marketing ploy-brainwash trickery, you gotta admit… that lineup is so gnarly. And FREE.  There’s even some Nashville love represented this year [there was last year too with Cheap Time and Those Darlins] Natural Child are gonna be playing it this year and blowing everyone away. The only unfortunate thing for Nashville, is that the fest falls right in the middle of this year’s Next Big Nashville [which we’ve been working up some treats for you bebes — gonna party hard] Anyways, we’re just saying that — you know — we’re down to throw in on some gas and make our way out there as long as we can catch Gaye Blades and get Ty to do a Traditional Fools tune. SEE YOU THERE! And for kicks, here’s an Almighty Defenders interview from last year’s fest….

The Oblivians – Memphis Creep [mp3]

Natural Child – Dogbite [mp3]
Digital Leather – Photo Lie [mp3]

Speaking of Cheap Time and VICE/Scion — there’s a new free split 7″ available featuring a Cheap Time track and a Bad Sports track. It’s free.
