Sunday This Ain't No Picnic Final Lineup Announced

Polysics are our headliners for the Sunday night of This Ain’t No Picnic 2008. They hail from Tokyo, Japan, and have released six full length albums of what they dub “technicolour pogo punk” (think: blasting guitars, high energy beats, computer noise, a love of Devo, etc etc..) in the last ten years, whilst taking their wild and critically acclaimed live show all over the world. As I’m sure you can appreciate, we’re really excited about seeing them play, especially if they do their cover of “My Sharona”. It has robot vocals, y’know.
