Yes you read that right. Weezer, Ryan Adams and Death Cab for Cutie are on the list to play Deep South’s Downtown Live Concert Series in 2009. Too bad that list is actually a survey of who you would LIKE to play in Moore Square. While the above names aren’t the best bands in today’s music industry, they do represent (somewhat) the cream of the crop of the survey. The assumption is Deep South’s new hand-in-hand agreement with Live Nation could lure these larger names to the capital city.
The survey is full of washed up names, but I guess Snow Patrol, Robert Earl Keen, G Love or Jet wouldn’t be as bad as some of the others. Maybe Downtown Live has the right idea and will start to bring in some current bands. You can even suggest a band, maybe Kriss Kross?
