Official 80-35 kickoff thread.....
- Thread starter jburke
- Start date
Heading down from North Iowa around noon.
My top most-excited for in order:
1) Natural Child. Huge fan, never seen them live.
2) Wilco. Huge fan, seen them several times and they never disappoint. Nels Cline's guitar will slay tonight.
3) Weezer. They were my first real concert. Hilton in '02. As long as they stick with the classics and stay away from the new ****, this will be fantastic.
4) Jenny Lewis. Pretty solid artist, and should translate well live. Plus, I get to look at her.
A big drop off after that. Hope to find someone new. Fly Golden Eagle, The Orwells and Hot Buttered Rum sound like they could be pretty good.

Recent set-lists say they play all the classics. A couple other bands based on what you are looking forward to that I would recommend are Cloud Nothings, Amasa Hines, Head for the Hills, and Empires.
This is the set list Weezer played Wednesday night. I would love a repeat Saturday night.

Really disappointed with the lineup this year. Weezer should not be a headliner. I feel like 80/35 has gotten worse and not better since it started as far as who they can get. I'm hoping that by moving weekends they can draw bigger crowds and then get better acts for upcoming years
Completely disagree, this will have the biggest turnout because of Weezer and the weekend change.
I'm not going because I don't live in the central time zone, but when I first heard Weezer, I was kinda disappointed, however, I can get down with this set list.
If you don't know Lettuce, make sure you make it for them. You won't regret it! Wish I could swing down there just for RTJ + Lettuce!

This is by far their best line-up IMO. St. Vincent and David Byrne give it a run for its money, but Wilco, Weezer, RTJ, and St Lucia are heavy hitters in music right now.
How in the hell can Weezer have a set that doesn't include Holiday and Only in Dreams.
I think solely based on turnout, this year will surpass Modest Mouse and Spoon as the biggest 80-35 to date.... I also think top to bottom, this lineup is way better than the St Vincent and David Byrne and Wu Tang, year. I just think they follow the pitchfork.com/SXSW trend when making selections because of this most of the music you will hear is not mainstream, unless you listen to XM-Radio(XMU, Alt Nation, Spectrum).... Or research your music.....
I would also throw Cloud Nothings and Jenny Lewis in the mix with heavy hitters today......
Also disagree, they have had 2-4 great song on every album, until this last one, which to me was back to their old style (Blue Album, Pinkerton, Maldroit), easy to listen front to back......
When they started this, I kept saying that Wilco was exactly the type of artist they should be aiming for and could land.
I haven't been since the first one, but I couldn't say no to them finally doing what I'd hoped they would do.
