oxford is almost unique in thinking there are only two words (mountainmen anonymous) in mountain men anonymous...ho hum...pedantics aside, see you there...

Damn it for being stuck in yanksville!

NOW YOU ALL LISTEN AND YOU LISTEN GOOD...

CAT ON FORM WILL RULE THIS FESTIVAL. THEY WILL. EVERY OTHER ACT WILL BE QUAKING IN THEIR SHITTY LITTLE BOOTS AFTER THE WRATH OF THA' CAT HAS BEEN UNLEASHED. I FEAR FOR CROWD SAFETY. TRULY, THE POST-CAT PERFORMANCE HYSTERIA MAY PROVOKE PANT-WETTING AND LOON-INDUCED INJURY.

THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT> YOU MUST READ THIS

I have checked the truckfest site (truckrecords.com), and reuben's site (badmusic/reuben) and neither make any mention of reuben playing. in fact, it seems that they are due to play the guilford festival on saturday. how fucking stupid and inconsiderate do yo have to be to put up bullshit like this. im genuinely angry

Re: THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT> YOU MUST READ THIS

it said they were playing in the press release... i'll check with their manager.

Re: THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT> YOU MUST READ THIS

they are playing, but they were a late addition to the line up..

Re: THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT> YOU MUST READ THIS

reuben are playing truck, main stage 2.00 p.m.
its a late addition, and they are still playing guildford, so there is no need to be angry.
