Wow, I finally have a minute to breathe after all of the crazy festival happenings.

So here's the dirt: Rock the Bells is back, it's going global (dates in U.S., Canada, Europe and Japan this year) and it will also be in Devore on Aug. 9.

This was seriously the coolest press conference ever. I mean, seriously, Supernatural came out and freestyled the lineup for the announcement. That was AWESOME.

The conference was at the Hip Kitty in Claremont, which also serves fondue. The best line of the rap was "Who would ever do a hip-hop show in a place that serves fondue?"

AWESOME.

OK, so here's the lineup

-The Pharcyde
-A Tribe Called Quest
-Nas
-Mos Def
-De La Soul
-Rakim
-Method Man & Redman
-Raekwon & Ghostface
-Immortal Technique
-Dead Prez
-Murs
-Kidz In The Hall
-Spank Rock
-Santogold
-Jay Electronica
-Kid Sister
-Wale
-Flosstradamus
-The Cool Kids
-Hosts B-Real (of Cypress Hill) and Supernatural

ummmmm....wait a second...who is the headliner? Don't get me wrong - I love the Pharcyde and have been DYING to see ATCQ, but where's the rest of the CLAN and CYPRESS HILL? The last couple years have been amazing and as far as the underground artists...where's the rest of the Living Legends? I love Murs but I want to see the rest of the crew! And no Atmosphere? I was at least hoping to see Slug on the line up for a FELT set...I hope this line up is still growing...
