MPMF15 – I Fell Off the Wagon

I failed miserably at posting my recommendations this week. It’s hard  moving to another city and trying to suck every amazing experience out of it as quickly as possible. See other blog posts for more on that topic.

Here’s what I would have recommended this week had I managed to do it.

  • American Wrestlers
  • Caspian
  • Public
  • Roadkill Ghost Choir
  • Ggoolldd
  • Diet Cig
  • Sweet and the Sweet Sweets

Here’s what I have already seen and loved. The only reason these bands didn’t make my must-see is because I have seen them, in some cases multiple times. They are excellent, don’t let the fact that I might skip them for acts I haven’t seen dissuade you from checking them out.

Now all that’s left to do is get my Schedule for the fest sorted. I say that as though this is an easy task. It’s not. Post coming soon.

Bunbury 2014: Must See Fitz and the Trantrums and Young the Giant

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.
