Holy F*ck! Slew of Hillside Updates

Performers have been coming fast and furious - so much so that I can barely keep up and seem to be updating the blog constantly. (Maybe I should just switch to twitter?)
Anyway on with the news!

Holy F*ck the titans who ravaged the island tent a few years back are making a triumphant return!

Gentleman Reg that lovable white-haired, indie pop artist with a lovely voice is likely to play Friday.

Timber Timbre the recent Arts & Crafts signee will bring his sparse yet beautiful songs.

Emma-Lee and her soul, folk pop-songs is set to be at the Festival too.

USS and whatever that inane acronym stands for, are scheduled to play more upbeat than most other performers this year.

FRED who I've never heard of before, probably because they hail from Cork, Ireland, will be bringing it transatlantic style.

Donovan Woods another solo folk artist is on the bill.

In addition to those above which come from fairly reliable sources, there are a few more "likely's":

Attack in Black those Welland boys who burst onto the scene with a rock album with folk roots, and have since moved further towards the folk side with good results.

Women the all-male band from Calgary, will entertain Hillside patrons with their brand of indie rock.

C.R. Avery has a unique mix of blues, classical and even elements of hip hop. Should be an interesting set regardless.

Issa is a female who plays with a piano.

Of course the schedule is not set, but the tickets are moving, with only Friday and Sunday remaining. Check the side-bar official website for an easy-to-read list of unofficial Hillside Festival 2009 performers.

    USS = ubiquitous synergy seeker

    crazy high energy, entertaining, hilarious dudes with some really catchy electrorock.. theyre a bit mainstream thanks to 102.1 the edge, but still put on a great show

  2. I still maintain they took three words they barely knew the meaning of and mashed them together. Thank you nonetheless. I've heard from a few sources that they are high-energy entertainment.. perhaps I'll find out for myself come Hillside.
