The show started off with a handful of people,however, the pied piper had all the kids bobbing their heads and shakin’ that ass by the end of their set. The best way I can describe their performance was like going to a jam band show, but exchange the the crazy riffs with head throbbing beats and extended dance moves. It was the perfect way for the son’s of Chicago to celebrate their debut album release by opening up for the Aussie duo, the Presets.

Jackson Hole Music Festival

I’ve never been to J-Hole but this seems like the perfect opportunity. It’s a bit on the hacky-sack patchouli side, but the beauty of the landscape could counteract any of the granola effects felt by some acts set to perform.

This album is going to be one of the soundtracks to summer and Filter caught up w/Bostich about the influx of Spanish Electronica which you can read here. Now if we could just work on the guys touring Denver instead of only playing LA or TJ.

Viva Terlingua!

Seeing the Red Headed Stranger at Red Rocks w/one of the last Gonzo’s around maybe on of the best tickets around on the Red Rocks concert schedule. The Texas Gonzo was beloved by the late Hunter S. Thompson, and by many (myself included) compared to as the country equivalent of Jimmy Buffett.
