SPOTlight: Over the top Festival – May 3-6

April 22nd, 2007 posted by robb

The Over-the-top festival is back, with great bands such as Daniel Johnston, Michael Gira, Mt. Eerie, Flosstradamus, Julie Doiron, Meligrove Band, Japanther, Matt & Kim and more.

I’ve also seen Giant Killer Shark: The musical at the 2006 Fringe Festival. It’s a hilarious musical-comedy rendition based on JAWS, full of scrotom jokes, bad props and and set on a copyright-protected island that cannot reference the name of the film.
