Facedown Fest line up[views:71500][posts:8]_____________________________________ [Jan 9,2007 2:33pm - the_reverend ""] LINE-UP ANNOUNCED FOR 7TH ANNUAL FACEDOWN FEST. 2007 marks the 10th anniversary of Facedown Records and the 7th year for the annual Facedown Fest, a weekend full of Facedown alumni, newcomers and roster favorites performing over a two-day stretch in Southern California. The Fest began in 2000 and has included headliners such as Comeback Kid, Overcome and Figure Four. Facedown Fest also had the distinction of hosting xDisciplex AD for their final show and Shockwave for their first-ever West Coast appearance. This year being the label’s 10th anniversary, we have asked some alumni Family members to grace our stage. Sinai Beach will perform on the first night of the Fest and Point of Recognition (who are re-uniting exclusively for Facedown Fest) will be back in action on the second night. This is Facedown Records’ year to shine and the annual Fest will prove it, most likely to a sold-out crowd. Label owner Jason Dunn had this to say about the SoCal tradition: “Facedown Fest has always been a very special time of the year where our bands come together under one roof to give kids a great show for a realistic ticket price. It has grown from a single night at the Showcase Theatre to 2 nights at the Glasshouse. It’s an honor to have Point of Recognition and Sinai Beach on this year’s Fest as we kick off our 10-year anniversary celebration; these bands were 2 of the most important in the label’s growth and history. Not to mention some incredible new bands that we are very excited about like Means and a couple more that will be announced in the next week or two." Friday, March 23 xDeathstarx Sinai Beach Nodes of Ranvier Seventh Star Alove For Enemies Kingston Falls + 1 more band TBA Saturday, March 24 Point of Recognition (re-union) War of Ages No Innocent Victim Inked In Blood XLooking Forwardx Means Call To Preserve + 1 more band TBA Tickets will go on sale at noon on Wednesday, Jan. 10 and will be $12 for a single day and $20 for a 2-day pass.

| ____________________________________ [Jan 9,2007 2:42pm - sacreligion ""] did that really start as a straight edge thing? i'm pretty sure it was just people who wanted to have cool AOL screen names |
| _____________________________ [Jan 9,2007 2:46pm - Lamp ""] I wouldn't discredit a band because they have X's around their name...I would discredit a band because they're on Facedown Records. |
| ____________________________________ [Jan 9,2007 3:52pm - horror_tang ""] Cool, the Facedown in the Pavement with Ass Up Fest. |
| _______________________________ [Jan 9,2007 5:04pm - xmikex ""] Better idea. No Innocent Victim skips this show, gets on a plane, flys to Massachusetts and plays a show with Betrayed By All. The rest of this show goes and fucks itself and everyone goes home happy. |

| _____________________________ [Jan 9,2007 8:50pm - Lamp ""] Seeing how when someone on here linked to Deathstar's Myspace they had four vocalists, you can tell this was one of those bands that started so people could get into shows for free. XlookingforwardX is just fucking cheesy. |
