I’ve seen both these bands before. They both put up solid performances. If you are looking for pop-candy goodness head to Fitz. If you are looking for indie rock with a slightly unapproachable sound head to Young the Giant.

See? Pop goodness. Prepare yourself, the woman that does backing vocals puts on one hell of a show.

See? Indie rock that is melodic yet slightly unapproachable. I will be seeing both of these bands again at Bunbury.

Next week, I will share my picks for the local bands that are book at the festival. I’ve seen most of them. Let me take the next few days to consider whether I will consider Heartless Bastards a local band given that they are currently out of Austin but started here in The Queen City.
