Additionally, a free limited-edition 7" of "Royal Swan" will be given away to the first batch of attendees, with a second allotment given away at a later time in the show to be announced. Special guests will be joining the band on stage to help them through this marathon, including the Vivian Girls, John Joseph, Matt Sweeney, Chain Gang, Mobb Deep, Ryan Sawyer from Tall Firs, Jeff Jensen, David Cross, John Cale, K-Taro, Chris Doherty, E.K., DJ Chris, DJ Anarki, Michael Gira, members of the Australian Scapa Flow, Jeanne Bovet, Gods & Queens, Akon, The Edge, Ben Blackwell, Russell Simins, the Boogie, and some megastars we can't announce yet.

Snaggle Von Swift Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 I believe the US 'band in a bubble' was Cartel if not them, then a band just like them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patron Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Akon making an on-stage appearance?I really dig the consistancy of the jacket layout for Fucked Up's releases. Yeah, all their 7"s (except Generation, I think) and most of their LPs are like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurtz Posted October 4, 2008 Author Share Posted October 4, 2008 If anyone going can pick up an extra 7" for me that would be cool. I'm sure they will try to limit them 1 per person though. Maybe if I'm lucky they will have some left over on the 18th in Philly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
