Riot Fest has announced it’s first wave of bands for their Denver and Chicago festivals.  Both can boast a Misfits reunion, which is one of the biggest tickets of the year.

Denver comes first (Sept. 02-04) and has some excellent headliners.  Jane’s Addiction, Sleater-Kinney, Bad Religion, Sleigh Bells, and Yo La Tengo are all excellent choices.

Chicago is two weeks later, and I’ll be attending.  I’m not only keen on seeing the Misfits, but also The Specials, Bad Religion, The Hives, Bob MouldJuliette Lewis and the Licks, and, yes, Morrissey.  I have a lot of bands to research.  The first one I’ve heard is Sleepy Kitty, and I think they’re already on my first-tier list.

Get your tickets before they sell out.  They’ll go even quicker now that the first wave has been announced.

Keep your mind open.

I've been a music fan since my parents gave me a record player for Christmas when I was still in grade school. The first record I remember owning was "Sesame Street Disco." I've been a professional writer since 2004, but writing long before that. My first published work was in a middle school literary magazine and was a story about a zoo in which the animals could talk.
