KDVS Presents: O:RMF X
AIDSWolf
Although the next Operation: Restore Maximum Freedom Festival is on the same day as day two of the Norcal Noisefest, I trust that all will know where their interests lie. The folks at KDVS have done it again, bringing the only known festival of its kind to our area, and thankfully, more than once a year! The very impressive line-up for this O:RMF follows, and you know how much can be found on the web about all of these acts – Do your research! Pleasing you will be: Wounded Lion (LA), AIDS Wolf (Montreal), Super Wild Horses (Australia), Ganglians (everywhere), Dream Date (SF),Greg Ashley (SF), Mattress (PDX), Shannon and the Clams (SF), Psychic Reality (Not Not Fun), Big Black Cloud (PDX), Young Prisms (SF), Buk Buk Big Ups (full band revue), and Sacramento’s own hip-hop prophet, Random Abiladeze. A dizzying outdoor day of awesome integrity, cheap beer, and high-fives galore. Hooraaaaah!! –Troy Mighty

Here’s his thoughts on music, 2009.. Read more »
