These two festivals take place within a week of each other in Los Angeles, May 2022. Which should I be more nostalgic for? the bands who were good 40ish years ago? or the bands who were good 20ish years ago?
Personally I think MIA is only one on either bill who isnt miles passed a sell-by date…
Morrissey alone would rule out the top one for me.
Lots of bands/artists who’ve done great stuff on the second list.
I’d go to the first one and leave before Morrissey (obv)
I would have good fun at both
Hidden waaaay down at the bottom of the first one, but The KVB are a good current outfit 
That second poster is from 2007 and no argument is going to convince me otherwise.
Yeah was gonna say them and drab majesty are relatively new
Not like our cool, cutting edge Euro festivals with fresh headliners like Beck, Pavement and Massive Attack.
I’d go to Just Like Heaven in a heartbeat, even if it is Rockaway Beach for millennials.
Well, the second festival have Chromeo, Peaches and Yelle, who are absolutely not post punk in any fashion whatseover but will easily be the most enjoyable acts playing there.
it’s really hard to find a picture of a postman dressed as a punk rocker
He looks more like a school kid
never seen a photo of him in his work clothes though

BTW, can we please make this the rolling post-punk thread? Someone recently made mention of a glut of post-punk releases. I’d love to know what they are so that I can igve them a listen.
