News Two More Bands for MFNW 2010

Two more acts have been officially announced—plus a couple more have been accidentally posted (unless there really is a NXNW festival in the works)—for MusicFest NW 2010.

In addition to the first two announced bands (Thee Oh Sees and the Gories) there will be a show with Frank Turner and Justin Townes Earle as well. Okay, that means we're at eight bands total (when you included openers Sallie Ford & The Sound Outside and Mbillly).

More coming soon...

Update:
Commenter Monkeybeat points us in the direction of this. That brings our total number to 11 booked bands. Make it an even—baked, but not baker's—dozen if this stoner wetdream rumor is correct.

It appears that The Zeros are coming back to play MFNW on Sept 11th with locals Pierced Arrows and Don't.

I heard rumors that The National will be there. I am skeptical.

It also looks like Pure Country Gold is opening for The Gories.

Holy mother of fuck. Sleep? There is no fucking way. I buried the idea of ever seeing Sleep live.

I could have sworn that Chris Hakius retired from music altogether.

If there is no Hakius then it will not be Sleep.

It will be more like an awkward boner than a wet dream.
