The Calgary based music festival Sled Island has announced it’s initial band lineup for 2010.

Highlights include Hot Water Music, Fucked Up, The Bronx, The Melvins, Big Business, Les Savy Fav, Built to Spill, The Black Lips, Ted Leo & The Pharmacists, Cheeseburger, Chuck Ragan, Bison BC, Mariachi El Bronx and more.

“Coachella made us buy a microphone, because I ruined theirs with blood [laughs]. And I still have it in my room; it’s such a perfect souvenir from that day. I really have no musical ability whatsoever. I can’t play any instruments, but what I can do is bleed, and I think this is the ultimate testament to that.”

By the way Damian, we have a few people here that would likely purchased Fucked Up action figures. Just sayin.

Titus Andronicus warmed up the stage for Fucked Up’s full performance of The Chemistry of Common Life. Check out some pictures below of the Jersey hipster punks below.

Toronto’s Fucked Up came to Brooklyn’s Masonic Temple to perform the future hardcore punk classic The Chemistry of Common Life in it’s entirety. The band brought some guests including hipster darlings Vivian Girls on backup vocals and world class pianist/party-rock king Andrew W.K to tickle the ivories (well plastic keys). Despite what sounded like partially blown speakers in the P.A. system, Fucked Up did not disappoint. Even the singer/guitarist of the opening act, Titus Andronicus, could be found crowd surfing and screaming along with Pink Eyes.

During the last song of the encore, Andrew WK returned to the stage which I assume most hoped would break into one of his many songs about partying, puking and/or New York City. Instead after a long intro the band broke into “Louie, Louie” which was a perfect ending to the night as the crowd filled the stage singing along.

More pictures after the jump.

Fucked Up have announced that they will be performing The Chemistry of Common Life in it’s entirety at the Brooklyn Masonic Temple on November 5th. To make the night extra special the band has announced a slew of killer guests including Andrew W.K. (Keyboards) / Vivian Girls (Backup Vocals) as well as Titus Andronicus and Katie Stelmanis. So keep a pair of shorts ready for November because it gets sweaty in the Masonic Temple. Chemistry was one of our favorite records of 2008, we are stoked for this.

Tickets go on sale Friday at 10 AM.
