Doom in June II Lineup Announced
I guess it’s old news if you’re a regular visitor to the forums, but the press release just came in, so I figured I’d post the news that this year’s installment of the Doom in June festival has been announced for June 4 (appropriately enough) at The Cheyenne Saloon in scenic Las Vegas, Nevada. Also helping the “post it” cause is the fact that New Mexican weirdos Leeches of Lore are playing, and I’ve been meaning to review their Attack the Future cassette for months now. I suck.
Here’s the announcement, sent along by MeteorCity, followed by the poster, which is awesome:
As promised, the celebrated Doom in June fest returns for the second annual homage to some of the coolest names in doom and stoner rock Saturday, June 4, 2011. Last year’s inaugural show was a fun-filled day of some great music that saw people congregating to Las Vegas from around the world. This year Salem Rose Music gives you another dose.
Following a similar format Doom in June II kicks off the summer the first weekend of June (Sat. June 4) with 15 confirmed bands — some longtime established names and an opportunity to catch some of the brightest young talents — in a carefree, good time environment at the infamous longtime rock club The Cheyenne Saloon (3103 N. Rancho Blvd.).
Set to perform are Solitude Aeturnus, Hooded Menance (from Finland), Stone Axe, Wo Fat, Dusted Angel, Leeches of Lore, White Witch Canyon, Hallowed Engine, Stonehelm, Meth Leppard, Psilocybin, Of the Horizon, Crowned by Fire, The Swamp Donkey and locals Dead Neon.
Doors open at noon with bands performing for 12 hours on one stage. Tickets now on sale at http://www.brownpapertickets.com for only $25 advance.
