It's like the universe knows, like it waits patiently for us to go to press and then drops the hammer. The ink is almost literally still drying on the local lineup for the 2011 Westword Music Showcase (see page 45 of this week's issue), and already, it's changed: Bad Weather California was all set to play, but then the band received an invitation to join the Meat Puppets on their upcoming tour. Rockie and Lion Sized, meanwhile, have been added to the bill, and although 4-H Royalty wasn't in the ad, the band is most definitely confirmed. See lineup below, and be sure to check back in the coming weeks for additional acts.
