Not wanting to be left out of the whole “websites curating music festivals” game, The Onion’s A.V. Club has announced their own festival: A.V. Fest. The two-day festival goes down outside The Hideout in Chicago on September 10-11. A.V. Fest will feature 12 bands over the course of the weekend, with the initial lineup as follows:
Archers of Loaf
The Thermals
Tokyo Police Club
Eef Barzelay of Clem Snide (playing the music of Journey)
Telekinesis.
In related news, all TMT-ers are getting together in Mr P’s backyard for the annual TMT Avant-Garde Hoedown later this summer. You’re not invited.
