FYI...

• Zappa plays Zappa = Frank Zappa tribute band led by Frank's oldest son Dweezil
• Pretty Lights = pretty electronica/trip hop stuff ...HEADS UP- you can catch them performing live tonight on World Cafe, Lexington folk can hear it on 91.3

Personally, I'm waiting on that announcement for the rest of the bands to really pique my excitement......if you've seen/know anything about the bands playing, feel free to comment about it....
