I have to give the guy credit... he seemed to have a good personality and vibe. I can't say it was the greatest of shows but the guy was put into a pretty awkward situation. My wife and her friends were way up on Chappell Roan and I just wasn't that interested, primarily because I had gone 100% for all three days so I wandered over to San Holo (which was packed) and then to catch a bit of his set. So quiet back there.
Yesterday I really enjoyed Glass Beams... then caught a bit of Bakar, half of the Myles Smith set then Cannons while our friends waited for Chappell Roan... over to San Holo then Dom Dolla (amazing DJ set) and Tyler the Creator.
Geese turned out to be one of my big "never heard this band but they kick ass" surprises. The Criticals were good.. BALTHVS was great and I may go back to Antone's to see them this week. Still Woozy was meh. Khurangbin was awesome although the Khruangbin / BALTHVS similarities are weird (yes, we know who was first) despite BALTHVS having a harder, more psychedelic sound. Jungle was one of the best shows of the weekend. Then we caught a bit of Pretty Lights before going to Dua. Not kidding but 95% of the festival was at Dua with 5% at Pretty Lights. People talk about the Chappell Roan crowd but Dua was bigger.
Yeah... I'm working backwards...
Enjoyed Saint Cecilia. Good to see a band really getting their start. Sir Chloe has a good sound... I like her music. She's a little offputting just in her vibe. Mannequin Pussy one of the best shows of the weekend - so so good! Foster the People put on a fantastic show, Elderbrook was good but not mindblowing... I don't know... and then Porter Robinson was better than I expected. By that point on Monday, our son was whining incessantly and we left before Blink or Stapleton. I got a full 3 days in though... it was a great weekend!
Saw bits and pieces of Britney Davis, PawPaw Rod, Benson Boone, Teddy Swims
