Pitchfork picked up on this today, but I noticed the ad yesterday and definitely had a WTF? moment. Bend’s Les Schwab Amphitheater, located in the Old Mill District of Bend, is having a festival of sorts as part of their “Wells Fargo Summer Concert Series.” (So many wonderful brand names! For some reason, I feel I must start a checking account and buy some new tires!)

And the lineup has some respectable choices, but the Breeders (yes, THE the Breeders) are OPENING(?!) on May 25th for the National and Modest Mouse? This doesn’t seem right. Okay, Modest Mouse is huge. But the National? Are they really that big? At any rate, it does sound like a killer line-up.

Other acts: Spearhead on May 23th (yawn) and Death Cab, the Decemberists, and Rogue Wave on May 24th (again, yawn). It’s Memorial Day weekend, the same weekend as Sasquatch—and nearly all these bands are playing Sasquatch—so I am certain I’ll skip it. Still, have fun, Central Oregonians!
