For the past few weeks I have been writing about the upcoming Treasure Island Music Festival. Well it is just hours before the start of Day 1 and I am super psyched.

My day will start off with Passion Pit at 2:50pm. It’ll be the first time seeing these guys so I am really looking forward to that. After that, Dan Deacon, MSTRKRFT, Girl Talk, and MGMT… The weather looks great and should be a beautiful day on Treasure Island. I will be sure to grab photos. You will get my take on the festival sometime tomorrow. Unfortunately, I will be unable to go tomorrow but have enough friends going that I may ask them to fill in as a guest writer for Best Indie Rock.

Only three weeks away from the 2009 Treasure Island Music Festival. One of the bands I am most excited to see is Beirut. The indie band out of Santa Fe, New Mexico will be back in San Francisco after a year’s break and will be on stage Day 2, October 18, 2009.

I was fortunate enough to see Beirut last May at the Regency Ballroom on my birthday. It was a surprise from my friend. What a show… They totally rocked and since then have been one of my top 25 most-listened to artists on iTunes. If my memory serves me correctly, they were supposed to play late last year or earlier this year, but had some issues and canceled the tour. I thought they had broken up, but I am very glad to be wrong about that. Do yourself a favor and get out to Treasure Island Music Festival this October 2009 and catch Beirut on Sunday.

I’m sure you couldn’t tell by my title but I am going to the Best In Dog show this year. My toy poodle Schwartzenegger has been nominated for the bes…….. (What was that Justin? Music Blog?…. oh my,…) Sorry about that.

So much going on right now. Any hoo… The San Francisco Treasure Island Music Festival is back for another paradastical music fest experience. No word for it, so I had to make one up. Decembrists, Flaming Lips, MGMT, MSTRKRFT and other band names relieved of pretentious vowels, Passion Pit, Girl Talk, AND MANY MORE!
