Sled Island Wrap Up
Posted 06/29/2011
Eleven of Ground Control Touring’s artists, including Dum Dum Girls, Justin Townes Earle, Wild Nothing, Lee Ranaldo, Cursive, Deer Tick, Kurt Vile and the Violators, Sleep, Times New Viking, Wild Flag and Man Man recently performed at Sled Island Music and Arts Festival in Calgary, Alberta, Canada which was held this past weekend, on June 22nd – 25th.
Man Man “smeared red and white paint on their faces and took to the Distillery stage to enrapture fans with their exuberant, carnival-esque rock” said Spinner.
As reported by Calgary based-news and entertainment publication Fast Forward Weekly, “Lee Ranaldo presented an arresting performance of guitar noise, performance art, and a tiny bit of spoken word… Ranaldo was granted an immediate standing ovation at the end of the set.” Read more.

Wild Flag “didn’t disappoint, unleashing a set grunge-era counterpart Kurt Cobain would be proud of” according to Avenue Calgary. Photos of Wild Flag’s set at Royal Canadian Legion #1.
Videos of live performances, including Dum Dum Girls’ can be found here.
