SUNY's Culture Shock this weekend - here's the 2009 lineup

Fucked Up @ Culture Shock ’08 (more by Leia Jospe)
Fucked Up

SUNY Purchase’s annual Culture Shock Festival is taking place this year on Friday, April 17th and Saturday, April 18th.

Both headliners for the ninth annual fest will be hip-hop acts. Rapper/actor Drake will end Friday night’s show, while Saturday’s top act will be the Cool Kids (who are also playing All Points West).

You may remember 2008’s Culture Shock as the festival where the mild mannered Canadians in Fucked Upalmost got arrested and their set got cut short” (as one commenter succinctly put it). Hopefully NYHC staples Murphy’s Law will help make this year just as memorable (they are playing on Friday).

Culture Shock may or may not be open to the public/non-students — a fact that sparked much debate last year.

The Tallest Man On Earth, currently on tour from Sweden (and in NYC as we speak), plays the fest on Saturday. Full 2009 line-up below
