PHAN PHEST 4.0 is fast approaching, and the response so far has been
tremendous! We're so stoked to be moving the festival so much closer
to all of our local fans (it's only 2 hours from Asbury Park this year
instead of 4 1/2 like last year) and is so going to be worth the
trip...we're encouraging everybody to carpool this year if they can -
think green, act green, BE GREEN! (Oh yeah - we have Green Tag Sale
playing late night, and Green Underground on the bill this year...)

This July, every Thursday at The Saint will be our 2nd Annual BATTLE
OF THE BANDS competition to get onto PHAN PHEST!!! 4 bands will play
each week - and the winner of each round will proceed to the festival
on Friday, August 22! This week, the competition kicks off with 4
great bands looking to make it to the fest! Not only will the winner
proceed to the festival, but all the winners will be showcased in the
final round on July 31st - to determine the order that they play at
the fest!

Lots of great bands are in the competition - and they all want to show
you what they've got - Doors each week will be at 8 PM, and music will
start around 8:30 PM. All 4 bands will get about 40 - 45 minutes to
play, and guest judges will be on hand each week to do the voting...if
you want to be a judge one of these weeks, please e-mail us and let us
know.

The competition was open to any and all bands on a first come, first
serve basis, and those who responded want to be part of our scene, so
come on out and support original music at the home of original music
in Asbury Park - The Saint!

Also, look for an article on Phanphest and what's in store this summer
in the local free weekly paper - The Islander - this week!

Things are picking up speed, and the line-up is really, really good
this year...we have Groovin' Lumens on board for Phan Phest for a
killer light show...and the entertainment will be nearly non-stop all
weekend long. If you haven't picked up your ticket yet, what are you
waiting for...it's time to make some plans for the BEST camping music
festival this season - one heck of a value...so get your friends on
board, too. There is plenty of room at Kempton for all of our friends!

Come on out to the Saint EVERY THURSDAY this month and support live
original music!! These bands want on, so let's show them some support!!

This week: The Bad Apples, Proof Rock, Amber Blues, The Big Dirty

Hope to see you there!

Drew, JohnnyBud, and the Phanphest Crew
