It always seems like too many bands, but its like 15 venues from noon to 1am or something and the bands you want to see are usually spread out pretty
good. Last time I went back in 2003 I had a fair bit of idle time and didn't show up until 3pm or so.
Cursed played and was the highlight of that one, Alexisonfire was getting bigger & bigger by then too so it was a big crowd but not as big as the last
few have been since then.
This is definately a fucking monster line up. Madball is playing! A few years ago they never really had any bands outside the region playing, even
Toronto bands had a hard time playing. Now its your local punk bands playing the same gig as bands like Madball & Chuck Ragan.
Great vibe, I recommend it to anyone who digs all sorts of music, its worth the trip from the Northeast for sure.
I miss SCENE, so good.
