Aural States Fest – 2009 Birthday Bash
So we will be 1 year old in January (the 25th to be exact). I never thought I’d have the intestinal fortitude for this to go on so long.
But here we are. Bigger, badder, more aurally pleasing than ever.
And to celebrate, we are bringing you one mother of a budget-conscious, music-filled weekend. Here are the details:

YEEAAHHH BOOIIIII!
A double dose. There’s a lot of bands here that I still haven’t heard yet. This looks good. Happy Birthday!
The past couple of years I’ve seen blogs reach a significant milestone (and one year is VERY significant in the blogosphere) and host a show in celebration. To be honest, very few of those anniversary shows seemed even remotely interesting with maybe one well known band and a few lesser knowns. For whatever reason, you guys have taken a different approach and left the lesser knowns out. This is truly an amazing lineup of Baltimore music. Good job!
This is gonna be a great show
Congrats!
Great lineup guys. I’ll link to you closer to the date. And happy birthday!
