Midpoint Music Festival - 2007


As promised, here is the schedule for Midpoint:

MPMF SCHEDULE

Now, I haven't had much time to check out each unknown band's web site individually. But I'm going to try. These shows are about hearing new music. So all you douchebags who just plan to go see your best friend's band again - for the 1000th time, perhaps try to broaden your horizens for a change? Jeez.

Overall, it kinda seems like q is the place to be most days, along with Speakeasy and the Exchange. Thankfully they are near to one another, so bar hop as much as possible.

Compiling a list for each night was TOUGH. Thursday night is kinda slim pickins. But if you stick with my choices you should be happy. Friday night is rough, because so many great bands are playing at the same time. For this night I included some different options. It almost seems like you should just stick with q and Speakeasy. I'm kinda leaning toward Lions Rampant over Earwig, only because I've seen Earwig perform before. On Saturday definitely start out with Paper Airplane (performing a lot of new songs these days) and then spend the night going back and forth between Speakeay and q.
For now, I recommend:

THURSDAY:
Loyal Divide.....10:15 p.m. at The Exchange
