Ween | This Week on Lot

We managed to run through a lot of news this week in just 30 minutes. Let’s get right to it!

As the title eludes to the first rumored 3rd leg Phish date has shown up. Personally TWoL is calling nans on this, it’s probably an announcement for ABBA or Garth Brooks. ; )

If you’re heading to Bethel for the Phish shows and need a place to stay we’ve got good news for you. The city approved camping permits for property owners in Bethel. What this means is that now any piece of land can be used as a “campground” for the weekend. Good news for phans that don’t have a place to stay and would like to camp close to the venue.

Speaking of Bethel, as we mentioned last week there are plenty of after-shows going on. For a list of the after shows check out this link.

Continuing on with the Phish news, the 2nd Phamily Poker Classic has been announced. It will be held in Tahoe at Harvey’s Casino. This tournament will have a structure so it finishes up in one day. If TWoL was going to be there you can bet your ass we would entering…and winning!

Switching gears we run through the initial moe. down lineup announcement. Ween, Railroad Earth, and Rubblebucket are a few names to note. More bands will be announced soon, so stay tuned!

The Governors Ball has been announced. If you’re looking to get our untz on in NYC then check out this festival. Steve will be there with his flat breezy in full effect.

NYC is keeping it going this summer with the Summer Stage series. Each of the 5 boroughs in NYC will be hosting concerts all summer. There’s something for everyone and it’s free so you have no excuse!

In random music news Steely Dan has announced a interesting tour. For full details check out this link.

In show reviews this week, Steve saw Railroad Earth at the Wellmont Theater. You can check out our twitter feed from May 7th for the play by play, but we did a recap during this episode. Jackie Greene opened the night with a solid set. RRE brought the energy level up when they hit the stage, especially on the floor. Steve was impressed they played a 2.5 hour set with narry a break, only leaving the stage for about 20 seconds before the encore.

This week we received zero voicemails. This makes TWoL a saaaaaaaaaad panda. Don’t forget we can’t be everywhere, we count on our listeners to leave us messages and let us know what’s going down on a lot near you!

Thank you again to everyone who supports us, we’ll see you next week on lot!

TWoL 63: Dust off your tent

Listen to Episode 63

Dust off your tent because it’s festival time! Lots of festival announcements and news this week, let’s get right to it!

The initial lineup for High Sierra Music Festival was announced! Looks like MMJ and Ween are headliners.

The heavily rumored Dave Matthews Band festival appearances are starting to get some more press. They are rumored to be in Atlantic City at Bader Field on June 24-26th according to jambands.com.

The Electric Forest Festival headlined by String Cheese Incident is taking place in Rothbury, MI. The lineup seems to be a bit all over the place but diversity is a good thing so take it or leave it.

The Rock n Roll Resort festival is kicking off the festival season. This unique festival combines the cost of your hotel (all shows are held on the hotel grounds) with your admission to the festival. Next to a state park this festival offers amazing scenic views and outdoor opportunities while being able to sleep in comfort and style. This festival is also a good way to start into the spring/summer musical spirit as it’s being held April 1-3 in Kerhonkson, NY.

Bisco Inferno is back again this year at Red Rocks. Come get your untz on in one of the nations most scenic parks!

If Bisco Inferno wasn’t enough untz and electronica for you then make sure you check out The Governors Ball Music Festival.

Now that we have all the festival announcements out of the way, save the official Phish announcement of Wakins Glen, let’s get to some other news.

Phish.net has starting tracking and posting Sideshows from the different members of Phish. Basically this will keep track of setlists from the personal projects of the members of Phish. The initiative is still a work in progress but we look forward to it. Thanks to everyone at Phish.net for all the work you put in, it’s truly appreciated! Also, they have a sweet Cactus contest running right now.

Target has starting selling a womens Phish shirt. Surprisingly enough it appears PT has not yet got wind of this as there are no douchebag comments left on the reviews. Either that or Target regulates their comments and reviews very strictly. In any event happy shopping ladies!

Last but not least we run through all the voicemails we had leftover from last week. Thank you to everyone that left a report!

We’ll see you next week on lot!

Special Report: Camp Bisco 9, “The Silent Podcast”

Listen to Special Report – Camp Bisco 2010

Hey guys, this week we have a special report for ya, live from Camp Bisco 2010. This is a unique episode, as it will bring some firsts to the program. As usual, we hit you up with an episode discussing the scene. This week, the players are “Noob” Laura, PhanArt Pete, and myself (Steve). We review the camp grounds, our favorite sets of music, and all the “WHOMP” we ran in too (WHOMP is the new UNTZ). Next, I hit shakedown and scored interviews with vendors and artists. Finally, we add some updates during the rain delay that occurred on Saturday night, delaying the Biscuits final throw down.

In addition to the episode, I also have put together some photos and videos of the weekend. There is so much to do at Camp Bisco, it would be impossible to do it justice in the half hour broadcast. True to our mission, we are bringing you a snap shot of “the lot”, but I couldn’t help but throw in some band photos and coverage. This was my 5th Camp Bisco, and without hesitation, I can say it was for reals the best one. If you have never been, you have to go next year. I know I will be going.

Finally, I would like to apologize for the crappy audio on my mic during the first half of the episode. Laura and Pete sound good, but I had some weird shit going on. I hope this isn’t a deal breaker, the rest of the audio is great, but I wanted to acknowledge it. Also, big ups to Laura and Pete for joining in this episode. Thanks to the carenwest pr for having TWoL on the scene. Finally thanks to the Disco Biscuits for putting on one hell of a good time!
