MACROCK THIS WEEKEND

OH SNAP, the Mid-Atlantic College Radio Conference (aka MACROCK) is happening this Friday and Saturday in Harrisonburg. Yeah, yeah, I know, Slaughterama blah blah blah, but the fact is you're not going to see this much talent all in one place at one time within 500 miles for a long time (probably until next year's MACROCK, anyway). We've posted a few times on here about some of the artists that are going to be in attendance this weekend, but here's the full list of bands playing this weekend (via official MACRoCk website):

Also of note is the return of MACRoCk veterans The Extraordinaires, who have been playing at MACRoCk for as long as I can remember as well as remember, as well as Shoot Straight Crew, who are playing the late night hip-hop showcase for the second year in a row. Field Day is also making an appearance, who were forced to pull out of WXJM's Cool-Aid benefit show earlier this year.

ANYWHO Andy should be making his way up here this weekend to cover some of those shows, should be a great weekend of music and anyone looking for a great weekend of music should come on up (DO WHAT PITCHFORK TELLS YOUUUUUUUU) or else. I'll be covering some Saturday night shows as well.
