Update #2: Band #13 confirmed

Posted on April 12, 2010

#13? Good thing I don't believe in bad luck, only good luck. I've carried the same laminated four leaf clover in my wallet since I was about eight years old, and I've never lost my wallet. My elementary school art teacher Mr. Amado laminated the clover for me. He also introduced me to fresh coconut meat and coconut milk when he brought back a burlap sack full of them for my class.

The very smooth Julian Lynch has just confirmed he's joining the Mountain Man Fest lineup as the third Underwater Peoples Records band. He is in fact the first uP band I ever listened to, and I was drawn to uP back in the debut Real Estate 7" days when I first heard Julian Lynch's Born2Run cassette on WAK records. You can still pick up a copy from dana. Its a blast.
