Tokyo Police and Passion Pit rape Stubbs!

The day was hot, the hipsters were monotone, and Stubbs was all lights glow sticks and crazy jams! When we got there Ty and I were sandwiched in between what looked like a hemp rainbow hat wearing hipster and a wannabe cruise directing frat daddy. We knew the night would be epic when the frat daddy said and I quote “Like ten years ago we would be taking pictures with our minds and now it’s like all about the Iphone and in ten years when I am remembering Passion Pit I will remember the Iphone and my pictures.” Well I am pretty sure ten years ago we had cameras sir frat but what a good observation. With all this technology I got some great pics and took a few videos on my flip.

When Tokyo Police went on I was pretty excited. It was still light out so you could see the sweat pouring off their faces. They played a few songs and the crowd was eating it up. I wrote off Tokyo Police a few years ago when I felt like they weren’t going anywhere, but after last night I change my mind. They were pretty epic. The crowd was packed in tight, and a little into Tokyo Polices set glow sticks started to be thrown through the air.

Passion Pit tried to build suspense by taking way to long to get on stage…it made people mad more than anxious. Anywho it didn’t matter in the end bc they were amazing as usual. The guy sang like a girl, the electric sounds got people jumping, and the lights could have given a small child a seizure…in other words I LOVED IT! As soon as they got on stage people were screaming and it was like a canon of glow sticks was shot through the air they were everywhere!!

Next time they are in town go see them or you will be sad you missed out!

Videos all right here!!

Music Festivals all over!

I know it’s 2010 and the whole traveling around with your fav bands thing is dead but I couldn’t help and notice that when I am at concerts I always run into people who traveled by plane train and bus to get to a show thousands of miles away. It got me thinking that this is my last summer as a college student and probably my last chance to travel for a festival. With this in mind I though what would be my first choice to attend this summer music wise and how can I make it happen…well Boonaroo is close to Texas and is having a bitchin lineup this year so I thought I can make that happen. Now I know I am not made of money but at Boonaroo you can work for your tickets! You do 3 six-hour shifts and free food and all that fun stuff. Bring your own tent is probably a smart idea. The best part is applications are still open! http://www.bonnaroo.com/festival/volunteer.aspx

Now maybe that isn’t your thing well I found some other awesome festival options…Lollapalooza and Pitchfork Music Festival in Chicago, Nateva in Oxford, ME, All Tomorrow’s Parties and Mountain Jam in NY, Mile High Music Festival in Denver, Bumbershoot in Seattle, and Outside Lands in Cali! Rothbury is canceled for this summer but with all the options of music festivals it’s all good!

Houston Local Summerfest is happening the weekend and will headline The Flaming Lips and Girl Talk…I will prob be there when I get off work and be rocking out!
