A Solid Mix of New and Old Faces ...

Here's the latest additions to FRF '09:
Jet

Boikot
Altan Urag

The Birthday
Although, several of the bands above have played in Naeba on multiple occasions, most interesting to me is the return of The Birthday. Jeff's post last summer about them and Primal Scream performing in top slots on both Saturday and Sunday night at FRF '08 was one of the most commented entries in the history of this blog. I thought The Birthday did fantastic on White Stage and hope to catch them again this summer during their Green Stage appearance.
You can check out who is playing when and where here.
You can find the MySpace sites for all the performers at this year's fest listed here.

I have to choose between Public Enemy and The Meters? That can't be right

Yeah - I'm looking forward to see The Birthday play again this year, too.
