A.V. Club Joins the Music Fest Fray

2011_7_21_AV_club_logo.jpg Looks like September is shaping up to be a pretty busy month for music at the Hideout. The Onion A.V. Club announced this afternoon they're going to keep up with the Joneses and Pitchforks and other music festivals and are putting on their own music festival.

Looks like they're shooting for 12 bands for the two day fest, Sept. 10-11, and they've confirmed Archers of Loaf, Telekinesis, Clem Snide's Eef Barzelay (playing the music of Journey), Tokyo Police Club and The Thermals.

Tankboy and I were looking at the announced bands and, if that's a sign of that the A.V. Club is putting together, the final lineup could rival the Hideout's Block Party for sheer "Holy Shit"-ness.
