MCD in Austin last yearAlright, that’s it. Unless the heavens part and Prince is announced as a headliner at Memorial Stadium, Portland’s Musicfest NW has officially kicked Bumbershoot’s ass with their line-up this year. I’m definitely heading south on the weekend of September 3-6. Along with the Steel Pole Bathtub reunion show, they have Mogwai, Centro-Matic, Deerhunter, Fuck Buttons, Monotonix (who incidentally are also playing Bumbershoot), Pierced Arrows, the Cool Kids and just announced the addition of the TV On the Radio and the Murder City Devils. Complete info is over here on their website.
