Veishea bands announced

[NATEizKING]

My favorite was Story of the Year. The Mike Jones follow up was worthless though. Who hasn't heard of Jay Sean-Down? Welcome to 2012.

I remember when a crappy group called black eyed peas came and performed in front of an empty auditorium because they sucked... Because they were never heard of.....

Reality - a lot of unknowns with a big country lineup on Saturday. Nice work!

Black eyed peas might be the worst live performers i have ever witnessed

I don't like Hot Chelle Rae in the first place but I've heard them live on tv and they don't sound good.

Lucero would have made for an awesome VEISHEA act.

Eric Hutchinson actually played at the m-shop back 6 or 7 tests ago when I was there. Thought he put on a pretty good show.

[clone4life82]

Years not tests... Damn you auto correct.

[Wx4Cy]

Am I the only one that hasn't heard of any of these? Someone, please educate me.

[nwiaclonefan]

Pretty good lineup. My favorite VEISHEA performance is still Nappy Roots.

^^^^^THIS!^^^^

Live @ VEISHEA Friday - VEISHEA

Live @ VEISHEA Saturday - VEISHEA

A lot of bigger name artists this year

If these are bigger names than last year then no one must have come to play.

I guess I'm getting older since I've only heard of a few of these

Here's the issue -- as with most pop music you might hear the song on the radio or at the bar and never know the artist. Jay Sean doesn't quite have the name recognition of Lady Gaga or Beyonce.

When you pointed out that he did the song "Down" I still didn't know who he was. Only after I looked it up on YouTube did I realize I knew the song. Maybe it's just me, but I don't really care enough about these pop/hip hop artists to figure out who they are or what their songs are called.
