Shot At The Big Leagues
This will be my fourth consecutive Fuji Rock and it seems that every year I find a new favourite place to hang at the fest. As a virgin I was lured in by the seductive shimmering mirror balls and candles at Field Of Heaven. In my sophomore year I loved the peaceful, chilled out vibes at Gypsy Avalon. Last year, I was all about the newbies fighting to be noticed at Rookie A Go-Go. The line-up for 2008's Rookie A Go-Go has been announced and there are definitely some gems to see.

There is a song from each act posted on Fuji Rock's official site.
In 2007, The Bawdies, The Spyzz, and Mass Of The Fermenting Dregs all made very strong cases that they were worthy of playing bigger stages at the fest in years to come. Who's going to make a run at the big time at the '08 edition?
