Line-up for the Bulldog Bash biker rock festival - The Wildhearts, Terrorvision, Reef, and...the FALL!

Sure they've got that garage-rockabilly thing but they aren't the Cult, are they! Can someone tell me more about this? Or any other weird line-ups they've seen? (I realise that in the UK it's quite common to have 'diverse' festival lineups [in comparison to N. America anyway], but I thought bikers were a bit less...FLEXIBLE in their tastes, or am I way wrong there too?

Also any comments on new Fall? I think they go from strength to strength!

The Siren Fest at Coney Island had Peaches, Superchunk, Man or Astroman, Guided by Voices, and Jon Spencer. I guess it's all "indie" but it's also guaranteed to piss everybody off at least once.

Painkiller at the North Sea Jazz Festival a few years ago.

The Fall played the G-Mex Futurama debacle in 1980 odd. Fergit entire rest of line-up (New Order?), but it wun't very Fall-ish. I asumme mes LIKES this kind of tension.

Indie ska-punksters Less Than Jake opened up for Bon Jovi for a few shows on the East Coast of their last American tour. I forget the story, but each bands' managers knew each other and a tape wound up in Jon's hands and he liked it. I can only imagine the response from the crowd at these shows. Actually, they were probably politely indifferent.

Low opening for Soul Coughing back in 1996 (?)--two marvelous bands; each apparently admired the other greatly; but the SC audience was not receptive. At the date I saw, during Low's set some @$$hole kept yelling "Yeeee-hah!"

The Refreshments (I think) to Spiritualized to Jewel was an odd switch as they all openned for Oasis and Neil Young in Molson Park 96. Screaming Trees were on at lunch as well.

I dunno, that makes perfect sense to me (Blasters connections and all that).
