Countdown to Treasure Island: catch up with all of our pre-fest coverage!
October 14, 2011
Treasure Island 2011 starts in under 24 hours, so here’s a quick survey of all of the festival previews that have graced our site recently. As a reminder, we’ll be on the island all weekend long, and we hope you’ll join us at “Ferris Wheel Confessions” and follow our live-blogging on Twitter and on the web site.
If you’re looking to listen to festival performers before or on your way to the festival, take both of our TIMF mixtapes for a spin, totaling about 90 minutes of great music. Or if you’re a visual learner, check out this collection of TIMF artist videos.
We’ve also offered some of our “don’t miss” picks for both days of the fest, including Death from Above 1979, Battles, Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks, The Hold Steady and the local artists opening both festival days. Seriously, it’s a long day, but get there on time to see some great local bands start the fest off right.
That enough to keep you occupied until tomorrow?

Don’t miss at TIMF 2011: The Hold Steady
October 14, 2011
I can’t speak for everyone when it comes to love for The Hold Steady – in fact, I know more than one person who just can’t get behind their classic-rock-for-the-modern-age sound. For someone who grew up listening to her dad’s old Bruce Springsteen records, however, the Hold Steady’s catalog strikes feelings of warmth and familiarity.

Don’t miss at TIMF 2011: Battles
October 13, 2011
Battles came barreling out of the indie gates in 2007 with Mirrored, a spastic debut that defied genre. Make no mistake: “Atlas”, from Mirrored, will shake you to your very core. Not that Battles haven’t released other noteworthy, eclectic songs since then – but oh man, “Atlas.” It just rips.

Don’t miss at TIMF 2011: Local openers (Geographer, Thee Oh Sees, Weekend)
October 13, 2011
There are many reasons to arrive early to the Treasure Island Music Festival this weekend: short lines for the festival shuttles, plenty of time to explore the festival grounds, picking out choice spots at the Bridge and Tunnel Stages, and most importantly, catching this year’s local openers.
This year’s set of locals represent some of the best of the Bay. Geographer will open the festivities on Saturday, while Weekend and Thee Oh Sees will occupy two early slots on Sunday.
