So you see, wha happen was… I missed Pike 27, Vic and Gab, Lost In The Trees, Sun Kil Moon, and Mutual Benefit got moved to tonight. I caught a little bit of HEAF, which were my pleasant surprise of the evening. I think I managed pretty well all things considered. One of those things to be considered was that I failed to feed myself yesterday. I had sushi provided by Fusion in the VIP tent, which was lovely but ill-equipped to combat the free beer I was also consuming. Another thing to be considered was that I got out of bed at 445am yesterday. I was on my 20th hour of being awake at St. Paul and the Broken Bones. There just isn’t enough coffee to set that right.
Regardless, yesterday was huge fun. Chromeo and St Paul and the Broken Bones put up stellar performances, as I expected. I was a little disappointed with Panda Bear and The Range. It’s not that their performances were bad; they both sounded excellent. I like seeing people playing instruments; it’s my favorite thing about live music. And both The Range and Panda Bear were a lone dudes with lots of technology. I don’t find that compelling to watch in a live setting. I will jam out in my car to it all day. I like hearing it. I just don’t need to see it. I will let the pictures do the talking from this point forward.
Fairmount Girls kicked things off.
Indigo Wild. The sun setting behind them was beautiful, but it also was the cause for much squinting.

HEAF! These guys were a fun surprise. Get it Stubenville.
Let’s be honest, phone videos of rock shows suck in almost every way. Why do people keep trying to do it? Why??
Audience getting ready for Chromeo.
Chromeo, in spite of being two dudes with lots of technology, made for a fun performance.
Oh the lights and the hands.
“Reach out and touch faith”
Chromeo! Also, that guy, he’s really tall.
Panda Bear wasn’t really my thing, but his look and stage set-up was visually appealing.
My suspicions were confirmed. My first impression in hearing Barrence Whitfield, was that he would be touring with crusty musicians who had been honing their skills for decades. Confirmed. This was a great show.
St Paul and the Broken Bones serving up a hearty serving of soul.
