Woodsist/Fuckittapes

I'd count myself as a fan of Woods, Real Estate, Eat Skull Psych. Horseshit, Crystal Stilts, Blank Dogs, Moon Duo... not sure which of those have released stuff on the Woodsist label that I've heard, but I enjoy all of 'em to some degree.

fast-forward a year, i still really like Woods, fucking LOVE moon duo (new album = immense) but i've recently sold off my blank dogs, crystal stilts, that real estate lp, eat skull and psych horsesh!t. not playing 'em ever really :/

but then i'm selling off lots of stuff, so

sick lineup. I might try to actually go to this. probably a pipe dream. I could see all these bands easily in NYC anyway but not all at once.

tix on sale tomorrow

i really want to go to this

Pity I'll be visiting home a couple of weeks after that. (Home being Carmel, not Big Sur, but anyway.)

I went a lil while ago when they had a p similar lineup and it was a great show

whole lotta beautiful people

yeah great lineup. i haven't heard from this label in a while

as long as my friend is able to get tix this afternoon, I'm going. so stoked. they go on sale at noon Pacific.

never heard Mantles but other than that I like every single band on that list

never heard Mantles

?!

Arguably the best band on that list.

That is a little weird. Seems like a band you would dig, DMR. LP on Siltbreeze a few years ago is nice, haven't listened in a while.

I'll have to check em out! honestly I have never heard the name, and I generally check for Siltbreeze.

though personally i would argue that they're not the best band on the list, this song is just fantastic

their singles are good as well - worth searching out.

weird bill for Hurley to play on...

I love every band on that list (my blind spot is White Fence), but I think I would agree that The Mantles are my favorite of all of 'em.
My other favorite amazing Mantles tune is "Raspberry Thighs." They're seriously due for another LP!

the Mantles are on Spotify so I've got my afternoon-at-work listening lined up

White Fence is cool lo-fi psych, recommended if you like Sic Alps et al. I like the first self-titled record better than the second ("White Fence Is Growing Faith")

never picked up that mantles LP, cuz i wasn't convinced by the "burden" single from aught-seven (reverb-jangle burnout). "don't like" is fucking great!

lol "don't like"

but yeah, dig basically every band in that lineup, and several are among my very favorites CIA (ohsees! hurley! arrows!)

Out of all those bands Mantles are the least active and rarely tour so they are even more of a "get" IMO. White Fence albums are very nice, but their live show is a lot more aggressive (full band) and I dig it. If I was in Cali I would definitely go to this. Maybe Hurley is gonna do an album on Woodsist? Only thing missing is Some MV/EE or Matt Valentine solo action.

man, they should really do a WC tour w that shit. this summer. daytime shows @ outdoor venues. would fly a kite.

Maybe Hurley is gonna do an album on Woodsist?

In the press release it said something like "this year we invited some of our favorite bands to come hang out"

meaning Hurley and Pierced Arrows I think

They did it 2 summers ago, there were a series of "Woodsist Festival" shows in addition to the Big Sur fest. Saw Real Estate, Woods, Kurt Vile, Sun Araw, Mantles, Art Museums, Nodzzz and some Vivian Girls one-off at The Echo in LA. For selfish reasons I wish they would do a freaking New York Woodsist Fest again.

seattledibs

portland would be okay too. we have trees! lots of them! woods even

moon duo was on that lineup too iirc

I just got lucky and happened to be in big sur that wknd

just gonna reiterate how much i want to go to this

btw anyone going get campsites now it is a nightmare

y'all should come down to Big Sur, esp. northwestern folks

btw anyone going get campsites now it is a nightmare

haha when i pitched going to this to my bf this morning he was like 'is there camping' and then made a face

i have family nearby -- so i'd either crash there, go for a charming cheapish motel, or just drive down and do only one of the days

camping in big sur is kind of glamping any way you slice it imo <---- this could be wrong

what is glamping?

ok this thread has convinced me to get tix for this

my family would camp in Big Sur for a weekend or so every summer when i was a kid. it was pretty much normal camping.

glamour camping
yea it's pretty much normal camping, but with like burrito places down the road

there weren't any burrito places anywhere nearby when i was a kid! we had peanut butter & jelly sandwiches and campfire hotdogs and s'mores and stuff.

lol at burrito places making something glamourous. especially when in big sur there are super fancy places to eat.

i think there were bathrooms with running water, but that was about it for amenities

:(

why are you sad?

I've never been able to eat at the fancy places, anyway I'll see ya'll there

when you are camping, burritos are the height of decadent glamour. wet, hot and wearing pumps.

^ referring to myself, oc

you wear pumps to go camping?
