Hi everybody,
I was wondering if there are any bands coming to Fest using a biodiesel powered vehicle, or approach things in some other "green" way. If so, I would be interested in trying to stay sober enough (at least part of the time) to get a quick interview if anybody would be interested. I'm working on a master's project in Gainesville about how different aspects of the music industry are becoming more environmentally friendly and the more bands I can interview the better. Thanks!

Yeah actually, another Matt...of Mose Giganticus.

I'm betting Mose Giganticus (& The Emotron?) will be arrived to play the Fest via a converted tour bus they recently took all the way to Alaska!

Check out this awesome and informative video Mose and Emotron made:

Touring to Alaska on Vegetable Oil!

Both Mose Giganticus and The Emotron rule! I think they're both playing when something else I want to see is going on though, maybe I'll do some split sets since I missed them both when they played in Milwaukee on their tour to Alaska.

Thanks Jana! I had heard a little about this the other night, which prompted the idea to post something up here.

See you soon!

for some reason I read this as "bands touring with bodies"

immediately caught my attention

I run my bus on Shaqdiesel.

Look Mexico also travels in a veggie oil powered bus, I'd get in contact with them too!

PM me if you want their drummer Josh's number and/or email.


And yup, Mose Giganticus and the Emotron will be traveling together in a bio diesel bus.

I told Matt about what you are doing and he's into it, and expecting to hear from you!
