So, I know the Village Voice is a family newspaper and all, but this week's cover promoting Saturday's 10th annual Siren Festival left me a bit cold. Taking a look at it, one would presume that Ted Leo, Surfer Blood and Matt and Kim are all co-headlining. Not so: according to the official schedule, Toronto's Holy Fuck is in fact closing the Stillwell stage. Surfer Blood? They're on at 3pm.
It's nice to see we all live in a city where freedom of the press is ardently defended as an inalienable right.
Not defending VV in anyway but in my short tenure under their roof, the ads for the fest tended to be pretty vague and done in advance of the finalized line-up. Just sayin… oh and try and be a little kinder to the old rag: they’re still kickin and putting ON a festival… you online bully, you.
If Holy Fuck were in Surfer Blood’s spot, people who don’t know Holy Fuck is a band might think that the Voice was just being overly proud of their lineup.
Not that what I put on is anything on the level of Siren, but the whole headliner thing is overratted. Whoever looks best on a poster sometimes ends up “headlining.”
Fair, but why Surfer Blood? Why not Cymbals Eat Guitars? Or Night Marchers (with Speedo from Rocket From the Crypt???) Seems fishy, that’s all.
I think you’re missing the point: I love Siren Fest, and will be there on Saturday (with bells on.) But, someone at the Voice did not want to run the words “HOLY FUCK” in big font on the cover (they are listed in safely small print underneath.) Which, in my book, is a crisis of confidence.
Well let’s not cast influential press agent aspersions on our beloved Voice just yet.
