10 Bands To See at Outside Lands This Weekend

It May Not be the greatest ever Outside Lands lineup, but their proposal this weekend's big-honkin 'music (and wine and food!) Festival packs a bicycle basket-full of bands we're stroked (heh, me stoked to mean) to see. Here, in no Particular order, are 10 of Them, plus a few honorable Mentions me had just mutter about Thurs. 

1. The Strokes (Saturday, 8:45 - 9:45 p.m.) 
Yes, the Strokes are playing together again, wakes MEANS they'd pretty much you do not have something catastrophic and / or pills-and-4Loko-induced Thurs Not be a highlight of the festival wholesale. Hopefully Julian Casablancas can find some precarious Precipice Thurs scale and sing from a stage on the festival. And so what if there's no new record? Hell, if the Strokes just Played the song "New York City Cops" over and over for an hour, that'd be just fine with us. 

2. Furthur (Saturday, 7:25 - 9:55 p.m.) 
Dude, it's Bob Weir and Phil Lesh from the Grateful Dead. In Golden Gate Park. Maybe Even in the sun. (Remember the sun?) All Those Dead Heads Followed The Legendary San Francisco psych-jam band around for a reason, you know, and it wasn't Because Their records were great. (OK, a few were.) This set's Scheduled to go two-and-a-half hours, wakes MEANS you'll have time to get your inner hippie out before Heading over Thurs hear the Strokes. 

3. Janelle Monae (Sunday, 3:05 - 3:55 p.m.) 
This is pretty much essential if you pull down list her tion, and extremely enticing Even if you not have. Monae and her future seoul / rock band let it all out for a spectacular live show - achingly pristine vocals, MJ-esque dance moves, James Brown funk, jazzy guitar solos, and Their signature black-and-white look. Get up close now - in a couple of years, she'll be headlining this thing.
