:::Monolith Festival Day 2:::

Due to an unforeseen, life altering experience, I was unable to attend Day 1, but I more than made up for the weekend by abusing day 2. My calves are very much sore (still) and I have to remember to dress warmer at Red Rocks in September. I have written a diary for Reverb that should post in a couple of days, but until then, I have these pictures as a testament of what Monolith was on Day 2. I was very fortunate to run into all the kewl blog kids who have more extensive coverage over at their sites and it was good to see them: Walking Disaster, Fuel Friends, Gorilla Vs. Bear, Muzzle of Bees, Donnybrook, Wyoming Beat, and My Old Kentucky Blog.

::: Cloud Cult
::: Monolith VIP Party
::: Bluebird Theater
::: 09.12.08

There are very few prolific bands that must be experienced live. Cloud Cult is more than a concert experience, it’s one of those life experiences that stay with you when reflecting on shows that do more than moving your ass. Beautiful. My eyes watered up much like they will when Sigur Ros plays Red Rocks in a couple of weeks. The highs and lows of a day are hit with every note played and the stunning canvases that come alive after every song are nice to look at as well.
