More on WoSF || June 21, 2007

Just got another e-mail from Spune Productions. Four more acts have been added to September's Wall of Sound Festival 2007:

OM (duo formed by the rhythm section of the disbanded stoner-doom metal band Sleep)
LYMBYC SYSTYM (Austin/Phoenix / Mush Records)
THE BAPTIST GENERALS (Denton / Sub Pop)
THE TIMEOUT DRAWER (Chicago / Consumers Research)

More national and local acts will be announced within a week or so. From the look of it, Spune Productions ringleader Lance Yocom has learned plenty from last year's over-long, under-attended fest (UPDATE: To be fair, the first day of the two-day fest reached capacity...but the second day left something to be desired in crowd size, as I wrote about last year). Though the September date may seem to compete with the Austin City Limits fest, it's technically one week later, and it also serves an entirely different market and audience. As a bonus, the move from summer to fall means more of Denton and Fort Worth's college kids will be around to attend this one. The outdoor location will make the full days' worth of music more bearable as well, and the array of national bands that have already been announced are...well, geez. Om? Pinback? Brothers and Sisters? The Books? I'd call that a niiice spread. -SM
