Snake Attack! Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Looks like a pretty good lineup this year, although there is no Thousand Foot Krutch, or Superchick Are there any other concerts scheduled yet for the Timberwolf this year?

UncleHenry Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 I've never heard of any of these bands. I'll wait for Weird Al to come back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outdoor Man Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 I even listen to "that" kind of music and I haven't heard of many of them... Toby Mac and Newsboys, however, have been around longer than a good percentage of the membership of this board have been alive. Never heard of "Hank"- but with a name like that I'm guessing he's no spring chicken. Now, bring in the Steven Curtis Chapman/Michael W Smith and I'll fork over the cash.

NatiReds084 Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 RED is awesome, check them out. Pillar and Skillet are pretty good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WooferBearATL Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Spirit Song kinda had me thinking that it was Native American groups. Guess not. Don't think I've heard of any of those groups. Infact, it sounds like some of the names are just made up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoddaH1994 Posted March 17, 2008 Author Share Posted March 17, 2008 I have just been informed that tickets purchased before June 6th qualify for an early bird special discount off of the listed prices. More details to come... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outdoor Man Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 yes, and "Hootie and the Blowfish" wasn't made up back in the day. a great "oldies" band by the way. And while we're at it.... what exactly is "Metallica" anyway. and I noticed that the name "Hank" wasn't "Hank" at all... "Hawk." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd venture to say that more people have hear of Hootie & the Blowfish than say.... Skillet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rollercoast19 Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 I am a fan of Skillet and Hootie & the Blowfish. I have seen them both live in concert and Skillet puts on a much better show. I think Saturday looks like the best day for the kind of music I like. Looks like a pretty good lineup this year, although there is no Thousand Foot Krutch, or Superchick If you didn't know, Thousand Foot Krutch is coming to Tipp City (Apr. 4 at the Avenue), Columbus (Apr. 5), and Cincinnati (Apr. 11 at the Underground) with Skillet headlining. Superchick will be up in Columbus on April 7th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Braves0511 Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 I definitely want to go on the twelfth...Red is basically amazing, Pillar is really cool...they cam to a church in my hometown last summer, and their drummer and I "bonded"...(i helped him carry stuff out)...hes really cool, and scary huge. I much prefer the small shows like that because you get to meet them and it's much closer, but the big ones are cool too when they feed off the crowd... Maybe my mom will get me a ticket for my birthday in a month... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
