SUMMARY:FOUNTAINS OF WAYNE acoustic w/opener JON AUER of THE POSIES
DESCRIPTION: Location: Mainstage Genre: Pop RockRelated Artists: Weeze
	r\, RooneyA rare full-band acoustic performance\, featuring songs from
	 their upcoming album-in-progress as well as material spanning their e
	ntire career!In late 2003\, Fountains of Wayne received a flattering\,
	 but rather puzzling\, "Best New Artist" Grammy nomination (one of two
	 categories in which they were named that year). This certainly made l
	ong-time fans chuckle\; those in the know knew that Welcome Interstate
	 Managers\, the album that spawned the ubiquitous "Stacy's Mom" and to
	pped critics' polls everywhere\, was actually the New York-based group
	's third collection of melodic pop/rock gems. And far from being a fla
	sh in the pan\, the quartet was considered by many to be — in the wo
	rds of Robert Christgau — "peerless" and "true art heroes"\, or as E
	ntertainment Weekly called them\, "America's greatest extant rock and 
	roll band." But FOW couldn't help enjoying the new-found attention as 
	they began headlining bigger venues\, topping charts on MTV and VH1\, 
	and appearing on a "Now That's What I Call Music" compilation CD next 
	to the likes of Jay-Z\, Nickelback and Black Eyed Peas.Now\, after a l
	ong silence broken only by occasional snoring and the release of the 2
	005 b-side compilation Out-Of-State Plates (which CNN called "better t
	han 95% of most bands' official releases")\, Fountains of Wayne return
	 with a brand new 14-song set\, Traffic and Weather\, which further de
	monstrates the musical range\, wit\, and eye for narrative detail that
	 have become their trademarks. The new record finds the band continuin
	g to reimagine early 60's jangle\, late 60's psychedelia\, 70's classi
	c rock\, 80's New Wave\, 90's alt-rock\, and contemporary pop in their
	 own inimitable style — this time against an even richer\, more vari
	ed sonic backdrop of lush harmony vocal stacks\, staccato horn blasts\
	, pulsating analog keyboards\, slinky bass lines\, and deep grooves. T
	here's even some banjo in there somewhere\, just in case. And\, of cou
	rse\, lots of guitars...chiming\, crunching\, strumming\, and occasion
	ally twanging.For more information\, visit www.fountainsofwayne.com\n
