adamlikesmusic Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Did anyone else from the boards go to Edgefest (Arizona) today? By far the best year since the show's start. (Though there was a good bit of shit bands as well) Alkaline Trio, NOFX, and Gogol Bordello pretty much killed it. Watched Pennywise, Flogging Molly, and Rise Against from a distance. Not too big a Pennywise fan, and a few clouds moved in half way through Rise Against's set, so they took a 45 minute "lightning break" :-/ Not bad sets from them, though. Thrice, I don't like them in general, and their show definitely didn't do anything for me. Alkaline Trio's setlist was... Private Eye Calling All Skeletons I Lied My Face Off Mercy Me I Found A Way In Vain Warbrain *I missed this song* Love Love Kiss Kiss Help Me This Could Be Love NOFX played... (not in this order) Bob Dinosaurs Will Die The Brews Don't Call Me White Seeing Double At The Triple Rock Leaving Jesusland Fuck The Kids Murder The Government Eat The Meek Bottles To The Ground There's No Fun in Fundamentalism (Which was a pleasant surprise to me) Plus a few more, not the best memory. They also played a song off of Punk In Drublic that they'd supposedly only played once before. (I was too busy trying to keep my shoes on to remember which) Was too tired to try to remember other bands sets. ---------------------------------------------- Bands who played the show: 10:45-11:15 - HOUSEMAN ATHLETES 11:30-12:15 - MICKEY AVALON 12:35-1:20- THE KOOKS 1:40-2:25 - FLOBOTS 2:45-3:30 - ALKALINE TRIO 3:50-4:40 - PENNYWISE 5:00-6:00 - NOFX 6:20-7:20 - RISE AGAINST 7:50-9:00 - FLOGGING MOLLY 9:30-10:45 - PAUL OAKENFOLD 10:45-11:15 - THE MILLIONAIRES 11:30-12:15 - CIVET 12:15-12:45 - AUTHORITY ZERO 1:05-1:50 - THE AIRBORNE TOXIC EVENT 2:10-2:55 - EVERLAST 3:15-4:10 - THRICE 4:30-5:30 - REV.

narniafanaz Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 I used to go to Edgefest! At least a few years in a row. I almost went this year only for Thrice and Alkaline Trio, but I've already seen both of them multiple times and couldn't stand listening to random rap acts and seeing gross sweaty dudes rubbing up on one another singing the bro hymn.

adamlikesmusic Posted September 28, 2008 Author Share Posted September 28, 2008 Hah, the Bro Hymn was hilarious. But yeah, the rap was a bit random. Struck me as odd seeing juggalos at the show this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goraiders Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 is this typically a punk thing? or is it a radio show or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamlikesmusic Posted September 28, 2008 Author Share Posted September 28, 2008 It's a radio show. Pretty random bands every year, though generally on the "rock" side of the musical spectrum. Last year was Social D, Bad Religion, Jimmy Eat World, Bedouin Soundclash, Plain White T's, The Bravery, Hot Hot Heat, Mutemath, Chronic Future, Louis XIV etc...
