Powerbox Festival...Bad Idea...Yes!

It's being called "The biggest female tour period." (we can't help laughing when we say the name) It's to bad there won't be many people showing up. The Powerbox Festival will take place Aug. 31 - Sept. 3 at the White Horse Amphitheater in Darrington, Wa. The Festival will feature all female bands the likes of Kittie, Vixen, Girlschool, Doro and others. What a great idea a four day all female music festival in the middle of nowhere on the same weekend as Bumbershoot and Dave Mathews at the Gorge. The bright spot is that a portion of the proceeds go to Caring Coaches a non-profit cancer research charity, maybe they should have just donated the cost of putting this thing on because there is no way they are going to turn a profit unless all the bands donated their performance fees. We wish them luck and are hoping we can hire an intern to cover this one for us since we'll be screaming "Wu-Tang, Wu Tang," with about twenty thousand other people.
