I’m sooo excited right now, ‘cuz I just bought my ticket to the
Beale Street Music Festival weekend after next. It’s part of the annual citywide
Memphis in May festival, and it’s the best weekend of music around-3 days of music on 4 stages, with a huge range of music types and everything from small local bands to major headliners, current stuff to bands you didn’t thing were still touring. Last year Billy Idol even showed up, and OMG he was SOOO much fun!!!
Although this year’s lineup isn’t quite as good as years past, there’s still quite a few bands I can’t wait to see. Here’s an abridged list:
Egypt Central
Train
Puddle of Mudd
Bryan Adams (Hee! Cheesy 80’s boy! I loves him so.)
Cake
Huey Lewis and the News (Heehee! More 80’s!)
Three Days Grace
Gin Blossoms
Staind
Blues Traveler
Chicago (Need I say it?)
Shinedown (One of my personal favorites right now)
Trapt (Ditto)
10 Years
Hooray!! Okay, it doesn’t compare to you stinkers out in Calif. who get to see JM (evil, nasty-we hates them!), but I’m still psyched.
