Since the definitive list of acts and their specific showcase times haven't been written in stone, it's hard to say who I will wind up seeing. However, the musicians that I MUST see are:
Johnette Napolitano (she's the real deal)
Amy Winehouse (her song "Rehab" is my favorite at the moment)
The Watson Twins (absolutely gorgeous - they will be awesome)
The Fratelli's (awesome band and they look like a lot of fun!)
The Good, The Bad & The Queen (Paul Simonon - 'nuff said)
Emily Haines & The Soft Skeleton (Broken Social Scene side act)
Lily Allen (love the CD and I think she'll be fun to see)
Midlake (a lot of people compare them to the Mac and I can totally see why)
Paolo Nutini (YUMMY!)
The Pipettes (new girl group with a big buzz behind them)
Charlie Sexton (although he's a local, I adore him)
Spoon (love that "The Book I Write" song)\
Viva Voice (I'm excited about this!!)
The Walkmen (Like a couple of their songs but LOVE their horn arrangements)
There will certainly be more!!
