Khats?

 Am I going to do Khats this year? Lots of people I know are playing. Also lots I don't. Just sent this to someone, my tentative lineup. All I've got this year. Figure out your own schedule here! 

I've seen a couple of other bands and liked them, like Cherry Pick, but to some extent you have to pick and choose...!

Vine Stage: 11am: Sudden Darts, fronted by John Werner (the Furies, the Pack with Kirk Brandon) -- they're great! Caught them at the Princeton -- liked John a lot, liked the videos they did, but it was live that they shine...

Balsam Stage: 12:30, Circus in Flames (fronted by Doug Andrew of Shanghai Dog, did big Straight interview, haven't seen Doug nearly enough in recent years)

Macdonald Stage 2pm: Might check out Perfume Tree, don't know them, 90s gothy band w/ rep, association with the late David Allen of Shriekback and Gang of Four (they were on his label, anyhow)

Burrard Stage 330pm: The Matinee, well-received roots music band? Okay. 

Burrard Stage, 430: Stephen Hamm Theremin Man Space Family Band: nuff said

Balsam Stage 530 PM: Autonomous Apes -- Russian/ Canadian band that "takes inspiration from grunge, alt-rock and post hardcore" - don't know them but good band name, bears investigating!

Balsam Stage 6:30 - the Hausplants - oddball local indy band, don't really know what to expect -- might see a few minutes or, depending on how far away the stages are, just run to:

Burrard Stage 6:50pm - Joe Keithley

Then I might stick around for Meltt at 8pm, also at the Burrard stage. Dunno Meltt. But I'm there anyhow! 

Or I might be exhausted...
