that area seems about right for Royal Blood, they were just billed at 45 at ACL. Not sure they would be billed ahead of anyone have above them. Any suggestions there?
I think you could argue that Royal Blood could be billed above Moon Taxi and Jungle. My logic would be Royal Blood played the Which at Roo (it was awesome) while Jungle played on Thursday. I like Moon Taxi but they are warming up for Houndmouth (another Roo Thursday act) at a small club in Bloomington Indiana in December. So admittedly I'm biased but I do t see Moon Taxi ten notches above Royal Blood. Keep the mocks coming
Anything under preheadliner really is a crapshoot when it comes to billing/scheduling.
Never seen Ghostland, though they have been around for a while. Then again. I haven't seen Disco Biscuits or U2 either. However, a giant fuck you to Longinus today, because check this shit out. I got invited to the Pensacola Beach fundraiser for WSRE PBS local chef challenge, and it was unreal. For one, it was 80 degrees in mid October so that was bad ass. But the food on this part of the coast has been severely elevated from grouper sandwiches and shit like Flounders and Peg Leg Petes.
For instance, I had shit from all 22 chef stations, and I had everything from lionfish to snapper to tuna to shrimp. ultimately, I voted for Iron on Palafox which had this mFN outrageous biscuit (full of shortening and cholesterol) with pork belly, grilled peach and your choice of 4 brutal ass sauces. However, there were almost 2 dozen worthy chefs putting together everything from money ass ceviche to macque choux to blackened shrimp to variations on the charl broiled oysters to homemade bananas foster Ice cream to shots of shrimp cocktail etc. money as fuck. At least on the level of what you would expect for local dignitaries bidding 8k for cheesy wv beetle inspired golf carts. This may only matter to Baish Bob, but there was a place from Orange Beach that I gave Top 1 for gulf seafood too. It was called Fishers. Money as fuck and really nice chefs. They run 2 reataurants there, and this is the fall menu for the more classy upstairs place. Sarah and the rest of you fucks who plan to stay a week next year should investigate. I would have given them 3.5 stars if I ate them in New Orleans. They brought an outrageous shrimp and grits layered with a pot of reduced and simmered down shiitakes. Like fuck. I went back to that station for 4ths. Fall menu: www.fishersobm.com/pdfs/2015/MenuFall_Upstairs2015_4.pdf
Fwiw, apologies in arrears for bad typing and English. It was also Gallery Night in downtown Pcola, so I'm many whiskey and sodas in. Word. This nigga /right hea/ is not easily impressed. I left full and somewhat dumbfounded yet proud. Also the chef at Iron with the last name McPhail, did 3 years at Commanders and 1.5 at Restaurant August. Yeah. That's enough to let me know you know what the fuck you are doing in the kitchen. Unreal.

There were 15-20k people at Which stage this year for that set. Moon Taxi, though a little poppy, will be headlining shit or at least subheadlining within 2 years. I saw them this week with maybe 250 people and they blew that shit up again.

Did you just make the jump from seeing them with 250 people to them headlining or sub-headlining?
Moon Taxi ain't headlining shit in 2 years in the US except for some small fests like Pass the Good in P'cola.
And I didn't say anything negative about food on the gulf coast. We're all aware the best seafood is down here. My comments were in regards to the shit music scene which is unarguably true on the gulf coast everywhere east of New Orleans. And even New Orleans misses out on over 50% of tours.

Lmao. Not intentionally. I decided they were on the way when I first saw them at Voodoo. It was clear to me that they would be a successful band and eventually upper tier. 2 years might still be soon, and admittedly Bonnaroo is close to their home base in Tennessee. But Which was packed. I never go by anything that happens here in New Orleans. It's an odd city for shows. Things you would expect to sell out don't. Things you wouldn't believe would sell out do. And an artist can come through and have 50 people one night then 500 the next time. so it's an outlier city. Taxi was a small show here (was great) and a mammoth show at Bonnaroo.

It was q shoutout that you probably should have been there since I know you love good food. I guess it didn't translate right in the drunken state. Agreed on the music, but I think Taxi is close. But I've been impressed with some of the food I've had in Mobile, Pensacola and 30A lately. We have all the freshest seafood ingredients, which in deft hands is so much more elevated than old shit like fish on a bun or fried whatever. Plus you are my favorite poster on the site.

Wow moon taxi is opening for hound mouth? That feels backwards. The two times I seen taxi was recently as the headliner and opening for The Revivalists. Taxis seemingly good relationship with the fest is what led me to bill them where I did. You're prob right about RB ahead of Jungle though.

Definitely feels like it should be the other way around. I didn't know Houndmouth was so popular.

Yea. It definitely seems backwards. Moon taxi is still a couple albums away from getting out of the spot they're in. They need a couple big radio hits to get close to preheadliner status even.

Oh oh oh, Mo-roc-co.
Should be the perfect sing-a-long, but the American musical fan base doesn't know what the fuck a Morocco is.

I guess I should have been more specific as popular radio hits a la Black Keys. Moon Taxi doesn't even get much radio playtime here in town on the alt station and they're normally good about that. I'm sure they do elsewhere on the college/alt stations.
