Avett Bonnaroo Theory...
Posted: Tuesday, February 9, 2010 - 02:49
Bonnaroo announces the lineup on the 9th (today). The Avetts are announcing some sort of levitation thing today as well. maybe they are flying in for Bonnaroo! Just saying....


Replies for this Board Topic
also....the original "levitation" announcement was originally scheduled for the 2nd. bonnaroo's lineup was also scheduled for the 2nd. both announcements were postponed until the 9th. oh yes.

And they may pay us off in fame,
But that is not why we came.
And if it compromises truth then we will go.
Your theory, although possible has already been discussed. Here

Also 'flying in'?
sweet. i wasnt even looking through the boards. thanks for the link.

and i live near manchester. so i guess "flying in" seemed appropriate. as in, via airplane.

A gentleman is some one who knows how to play the banjo, and doesn't- Mark Twain.
Scott will play the entire Bonnaroo set suspended from a cable dangling above the stage. Who's gonna play the kick drum?

"I'm a little nervous 'bout what you'll think when you see me in my swimming trunks."
The Bonnaroo Myspace page is starting the line-up unveiling at noon today. Let's see if we are right.
Buy some diapers, Nate.

"But I can't go back, and I don't want to,
'cause all my mistakes, they brought me to you"
I just recently ran across them and have quickly become a fan. Little Lion Man is my favorite song right now. That guy plays a funky looking banjo, have you noticed?
--
"Happy's not the word, you make me free."
i did notice that. i never been a banjo expert other than i know some are 4 string and some are 5. so i have no idea what that is
--
"But I can't go back, and I don't want to,
'cause all my mistakes, they brought me to you"
Although they always add a few more before the shows, this is the initial list from the Bonnaroo website. I like how TAB is first.

Mumford and Sons--I like what I hear so far, too. Tried to buy their latest, Sigh No more, but can't get it in the US yet. or am I looking in the wrong place? I see they have some ep's--can anyone tell me what and how to get it?
--
Wish me luck, I know you think I'll need it.
For all the hardest roads we have to walk alone.
I have an advance copy. They were going for radio add on Feb 9. That may have been the release date. If not it should be out in the US very soon. The CD did not do much for me.

"Without music to decorate it, time is just a bunch of boring production deadlines or dates by which bills must be paid”
Frank Zappa
Well, since I'm not getting an advance copy, sadly, anyone recommend any prior stuff? Hard to figure out exactly what's what b/c a lot of the stuff listed in their discography has 1-2 songs. Thanks for your recommendations!
I'll just get the new one when it's released in the US in the next week or two.
