Is it too early to start thinking about November? Not if the Brainwaves Festival has anything to say about it!

Has your autumn party season been missing something? Is Armistice Day missing the sparkle it once had? Has Thanksgiving become just another opportunity to sit silent and bloated on your couch surrounded by people who don't understand you? Well, no more! Because this fall's Brainwaves Festival 2008 lineup has already been announced, and from now on, the period between November 21-23, 2008 will never be the same.

Brainwaves 2008 will be throwin' down at the Regent Theatre in Arlington, MA with a smashing roster and perhaps even a chance to consume alcoholic beverages. And there's going to be more than bitchin' tunes and what the press release refers to as "amazing" seating! This year's lineup also features a special spotlight on Kranky Records, which will be celebrating 15 years of purveying the finest in independent music.

Other performers include: Matmos, Marissa Nadler, Meat Beat Manifesto, A Place to Bury Strangers, Stars of the Lid, Gary Wilson, Rivulets, Little Annie, The Reformed Faction (of Zoviet France), Andrew Liles and Jonathan Coleclough, His Name Is Alive, Nmperign feat. Jason Lescalleet, Charalambides, Glenn Jones, Lichens, Strategy, Nudge, Boduf Songs, Baby Dee, and To Kill A Petty Bourgeoisie.
