I was really hoping for Sonic Youth to play this, but I think Tokyo got a really great lineup. My three favorite Japanese bands are playing, Boredoms, Melt Banana, and Boris, along with Godspeed (I'm sort of getting into them, though I can't decide if I'm going to love em or think it's a bit melodramatic), Dirty Three (I haven't seen them since I saw them open for Pavement in 95), and Keiji Haino who everyone here seems to rave about.
What do you guys think about this lineup and would you be excited see it? I'm super GENKI, but I sort of wish one band like Sonic Youth, Melvins, or Liars were there to represent the USA... and I wish it weren't on a Sunday and 10 hours away (by bus) from where I live!
