I wrote this long post with pictures before the weekend began, and then forgot to post it. Ah well, here’s a list.
Mae Shi
We already saw them and they threw a party, with special guests rapping and dancing and an infectious spirit. They played like they had something to prove and nothing to lose.
Frightened Rabbit
Playing now to an underwhelming crowd. The truest fans are jumping around, and they seem to be winning over the rest. Apparantly they’ve played Chicago more than Glasgow lately. They’re really enjoying themselves up there, and that seems to be the factor that the best sets have in common.
Pharoahe Monch
Reportedly a monster in person. Just might have the energy to get everyone to keep their hands up.
The Thermals
Indie rock sing-along, y’all.
Japandroids
Will they prove to be the real deal?
Pretty much everyone at the top of today’s bill is a must-see, the challenge will be deciding how to spend our time and trying to see a little bit of most everything.
