Before I get to the meat, it looks like SnowMont Music Festival (March 30-April 1 in Killngton, VT) has been canceled. According to their website (snowmontmusicfestival.com): "It is with heavy regret we announce that the SnowMont Music Festival has been cancelled indefinitely due to the event’s lack of demand. As the visionaries of this event, we can assure you that we are just as disappointed to tell you this news as you are to hear it, and we thoroughly sympathize with your disappointment."

I mentioned this festival last year, and noted that the price is just right ($25!). Although its price is now $35, that is still a fantastic deal… even though I probably can't tell you for certain if I've heard of many of these bands.
For the extra cost, the festival is adding thirty more bands and four more venues vs last year, thanks to adding an extra third day to the festival.
The 2012 line-up: Mission of Burma, Neon Indian, Fun, F**ked Up, Murder by Death, El Ten Eleven, White Denim, Deastro, Coalesce, Hooray for Earth, Acid Mothers Temple, Casket Lottery, The Life and Times, Owen, Keep Shelly in Athens, Chad Valley, Jonquil, A Lull, Elite Gymnastics, Mr. Gnome, Gold Motel, Friends, Capybara, Cowboy Indian Bear, Soft Reeds, Molly McGuire, Reflector, Minus Story, The Esoteric, Season To Risk, Hospital Ships, Nerves Junior, Phantasmagoria, Broncho, Beacon, Ad Astra Arkestra, Thee Water MoccaSins, Deadringers, La Guerre, Motorboater, Everyday/Everynight, Maps For Travelers, Spirit Is The Spirit, Max Justus, Sam Billen, Believers, Akkilles, Beau Jennings, Christopher Paul Stelling, Baby Teardrops, Saintseneca, Sleepy Kitty and Unicycle Loves You.

In addition to the music, you get to sample some "farm-to-table-to-amp" local food… and did I mention the small-lot wines from Gundlach Bundschu and wine tasting? Sounds yummy.
