My latest gripe. On their Facebook and Twitter, KFOG has been going on about the opening act for Kaboom: From FB Monday at 3PM: "Grace Potter & Nocturnals are the opening act for KaBoom on May 22nd! Sold out the Fillmore last time they were in town. Get your tickets today!"
But have they played her music since then? NOPE. Hell, could you even call her a KFOG artist? NOPE. The Foglist shows she get's played *MAYBE* 3-4 times a month, during New Music Thursday Ghettos or the Side Show Ghettos. But other than that, she's lucky to get played once a month. And if they do add her to the rotation leading up to Kaboom, what are the chances she'll get any airplay after the fireworks are over? That's right, ZERO.
Damnit I'll take Grace Potter over frigging Sheryl Crow any day of the week. C'mon, get some new blood in there. Hell, she should satisfy even you Corinne Bailey Rae and Norah Jones haters. ;-}
Well, at least Grace Potter's management is responding in kind. They've not listed Kaboom on their tourdates.
