The Lost weekend will always remain....lost

As you have all probably heard.... the 2010 Lost Weekend Festival to be held at the Brisbane Riverstage this weekend has been canceled. By the looks the bogan hick public of Brisbane didn't support what was sure to be a highlight of the event calender in 2010 as they were too busy abusing their wives whilst listening to back in black. But for those faithful few, here is some consolation, some of the bands are doing sideshows and they are all listed below;

Friday 6 March

Deerhoof, Wooden Shjips, Tenniscoats, Jeffrey Lewis & the Junkyard – The Hi-Fi, 8pm, $40 + bf from here

Saturday 6 March

Busdriver, Hawnay Troof and Wagons – Rosie’s, 9pm, $10 on the door

Nashville Pussy, Gentle Ben & His Sensitive Side, The Medicine Show and Sue Ray – The Zoo, 8pm, $16.50 + bf from here.

Tim Hecker, Curse Ov Dialect - Institute of Modern Art, 7pm, free entry (but spaces are limited!)

Sunday 7 March

NOTE: The Dirty Projectors and The Thermals (who I was most excited about) have not yet announced and show and this looks very unlikely... so I need to go and book some flights to Melbourne.
