The Flaming Lips at Treasure Island Music Festival 2009

The Flaming Lips are on this year’s lineup of bands playing at the Treasure Island Music Festival. I have yet to see them live so it should be pretty sweet to see them in San Francisco. They are the headliners for Sunday October 18, 2009 , then heading off to Europe to tour for the month of November (so jealous of them).

I started listening to The Flaming Lips in 2004, when I purchased their album Fight Test. “Do You Realize??” blew me away. I sure hope they do that track at the festival. I will definitely provide my feedback of each band post festival.

Beirut playing 2009 Treasure Island Music Festival

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.

TREASURE ISLAND MUSIC FESTIVAL 2009

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!
