Reverb Fest Announces Its Stellar Local Line-Up

There was a time when local music festival season lasted from Sasquatch to Bumbershoot, a strictly spring and summer affair. But that time is no more. With two of our city’s print publications now hosting music festivals during October, festival season is just about all year long (with a quick winter break). But with a line-ups like Reverb Fest and City Arts Fest we’re not complaining.

Last night, the Seattle Weekly announced the 2011 line-up for Reverb Fest, their all-local, Ballard-based music fest. It features over 60 bands, including a bunch of Sound on the Sound favorites and some locals we’ve been meaning to catch but haven’t had the chance yet. Focused on the best new and current local offerings, Reverb is a diverse snap shot of what’s happening in Seattle.

Here’s who’ll be playing Reverb Fest this year, October 8th, all over Ballard Avenue. We’ve highlighted who we’re most excited to see, which to Reverb’s credit, is about half of the list.

BIG WHEEL STUNT SHOW / CALI GIRAFFES / CATALDO / CHARLES LEO GEBHARDT IV / COBIRDS UNITE / CORESPONDENTS / CURTAINS FOR YOU / DAVIDSON HART KINGSBERY / DON’T TALK TO THE COPS / DUDE YORK / FLY MOON ROYALTY / FURNITURE GIRLS / GHOSTS I’VE MET / GOLD LEAVES / GOLDEN BLONDES / GRAND HALLWAY / GROGGY BIKINI / GRYNCH / GUN OUTFIT / HOTELS / JAMES COATES / JOSEPH GIANT / KATIE KATE / KAYLEE COLE / KELLI SCHAEFER / KHINGZ / LAND OF PINES / LESS THAN EQUALS / MANIGUA / MARK PICKEREL / MASH HALL / MC TUFF / METAL CHOCOLATES / MUTINY FIRES / NEIGHBORS / NIGHTTRAIN / NODDY / PARTMAN PARTHORSE / PIPSISEWAH / PONY TIME / REBECCA ANN JOHNSTON / SANDRIDER / SEAPENNY / SHAPRECE / SIDE PONY / SONS OF WARREN OATES / SPINNING WHIPS / SPURM / STAG / STAY LOW / STEPHANIE / SUFFERING FUCKHEADS / SUMMER BABES / THADDILLAC / THE COPS / THE PHARMACY / THREE NINJAS / TOM PRICE DESERT CLASSIC / TOMTEN / VIRGIN ISLANDS / WITCH GARDENS / WITCHBURN / YARN OWL / YOU.MAY.DIE.IN.THE.DESERT
