SECOND FUJI ROCK FESTIVAL 2012 LINEUP ANNOUNCED

So far I'm sticking to what I had previously said about this year's Fuji Rock Festival lineup: Not bad, but could be better. There are some amazing bands playing this year though, but I guess we'll just have to wait and see the upcoming lineups.
For now, here is the second one that's been released. This year's festival will be held on July 27th through July 29th.

UPDATE: I misunderstood the lineup, and had previously divided the bands into what I thought were the three different days. I have fixed this now, but I do apologize for previously giving out the wrong information.

FIRST FUJI ROCK FESTIVAL '12 LINEUP RELEASED

I have realized that for the past few years, the Summer Sonic lineups have been way more interesting than Fuji Rock Festival's, and this year is no exception.
The official Fuji Rock Festival '12 website has just released the first lineup,  and although it's definitely not bad, it could be better. Check it out for yourself.

Can't wait to see the next few lineups. The second one will be released in a few weeks!

THE VACCINES AND HOWLER DO TOKYO

Last night I had the pleasure of attending the The Vaccines' show, who were joined by Minnesotan band, Howler. Truth is, I basically went to that show to see Howler play Back of Your Neck (which I had previously blogged about) and it was amazing! The Vaccines were also great, although a bit too drunk, but I'd say that made the show even better.

PS- The Vaccines announced at their show last night that they will be returning to Tokyo in August for Summer Sonic 2012. 

UPDATE: As I had previously stated, The Vaccines will be back for Summer Sonic, and now word is Howler will be back for Fuji Rock Festival. I'm very excited for both.

INTRODUCING... HOWLER

I just stumbled upon Back Of Your Neck by Howler, and thought it was amazing! Love this guy's voice, can't wait until they come to Tokyo later this month!
