Hold any European trip-financing raffles lately? Proceed with caution. Wait, forget that-- risk it all to get to Castellón, Spain for the eighth edition of the Tanned Tin music festival, running from November 9-11 (with special opening and closing events on the days bookending the fest).

Tanned Tin brings together an impressive array of musicians of an autumnal persuasion and takes place at several venues across the city: Centro Municipal de Cultura, Teatre Principal, and Casino Antiguo. Might want to ditch the cell phones, clinking beer bottles, and boisterous buds, however, as Tanned Tin's website boasts "an almost religious silence" accompanying past festival performances. Yikes!

Acts scheduled to perform include: M. Ward, Six Organs of Admittance, Okkervil River, Psychic Ills, I Love You But I've Chosen Darkness, David Thomas Broughton, Lisa Germano, Portastatic, His Name Is Alive, the Radio Dept., Magik Markers, and more. Wonderful, spectral folkstress Annelies Monseré will open the festival with a free show on November 8. Make the jump for the complete event schedule.
