Been listening to more of Florence and really like Shake it Out, Cosmic Love, and others. A lot of screaming and Imagine Dragon like drums...but, it is different and fresh and would get pumped to see her headline Hangout. So, now that we have put that headliner to bed, who is next? Given schedules and other issues...Pearl Jam still in the mix? The Dead and Company are playing Bridgestone in Nashville 18 November. My son is coming in from Cali the 19th so not sure can swing that but, gonna try. For those who have been, worth the effort?
The Neighbourhood - with their California Beach sound and new album Wiped Out! would be a good guess as an add to the Hangout 2016 undercard. Only listened to their album and assume they would bring it in a live show...maybe, maybe not.
Performance/Rock Art Closest thing we could compare it to was Siouxsie and the Banshees. I never got to see them, but Sarge did and said Flo's performance had a lot of things in common with them.
solidrock...heck yeah! That clip made my day. Half of what I play and listen to is this. Gimme a couple beers, some good friends who like to pick and play, and I'm a happy man. Going to see Jason Isbell Sunday night..looking forward to it. Not sure Ironhorse would play Hangout. I am laughing at the thought of seeing these guys in t-shirts, shorts and beachbob hats playing on the restaurant stage. One thing Hangout has done well over the years is get bands like OCMS, Jason Isbell, Amos Lee, Delta Rae and others who would be likely classified as Americana and putting them on one of the back stages, middle of the lineup, and hitting a home run with the fans. Kinda like Jamell last year. Sturgill Simpson may be the performer this year that wears that title.

I don't feel like looking up the other artists. But, Hangout didn't put Amos Lee "on one of the back stages." They put him on the main stage (two slots before the headliner I think, which isn't a spot for a small act) Plus, he was billed in the top 15 I believe. Just saying, it's not like he was some surprise sleeper act that nobody knew.
Just my opinion, but the internet, ultimate guitar.compliment, festivals, YouTube tutorials, and other reasons seem to be feeding the growth of musicians and interest in music. In my local area, a lot of good young musicians and a few old guys like me playing clubs and living the dream. Agree with deeper pool of talent for festivals. I've sent several local performers Hangout performer materials.

Of topic, but how is the music scene down there. In my area, and most of the country from what Ive heard, bars are stuggling and not booking nearly as much live music. When they do, the pay is less than or the same as it was 20 years ago. They know they can hire a DJ or do karaoke for half the price and draw as big of a crowd. My band basically broke up because of the way live music was dying in the area. Get to start an original project that is more jammy though so Im happy.

Well we have some social media action. Facebook post with a picture of Major Lazer saying "We're working hard to create magical moments for #HangoutFest 2016. What new bands have you discovered?"
Also, I have alluded to the fact that I may not be able to make next year's fest. I have to share a story. The reason is that Shell is pregnant. There will be another little moten33 born in late May most likely. Anyone that I'm Facebook friends with, this isn't public info yet, just FYI. But on to the story....we still haven't canceled our condo booking. We're sitting here watching random music videos and the Lupe with Umph video came on and we just had a 30 minute discussion about how we can still go to Hangout with her 8 and 3/4 months pregnant and how that would logistically work. That, my friends, is how awesome Hangout is.

What new (assume to Hangout) bands have we discovered? So far for me it was Tedeschi-Trucks Band at the Tivoli last spring...I'd love to see them play Hangout. Rubber Knife Gang is a crazy bluegrass band out of Knoxville that would be fun on one of the smaller stages. They were playing Ironhorse covering Aerosmith at the music shop this afternoon. They would be a hoot on one of the smaller stages too. Given all the Wooooo Hoooo over Florence + The Machine...I'm sure they made the list. I will trust but, verify.

Along with the wedding chapel, I believe hangout with have a doc-in-a-box OBGYN station next to the food tents for all you soon to be mothers and fathers. So Moten youre covered, no excuses!
Congrats moten33! Heading to the beach would be courageous.
Yeah, its not likely but if we can pull it off we will. Should have some better info in a few weeks. Its ridiculous that weve been to three appointments and they have done basically nothing of substance yet. Just thought it was funny that we actually had the doscussion about how it would work.

couple of festival addicts if you ask me. Someone needs to stage an intervention asap and get y'all professional help
My baby son sure changed my life and lifestyle for awhile and I have no regrets. Now we are planning a mega-hangout father-son throw down next May. Ahhhh, the circle of life. Florence, Ellie, and Elton....hmmm,.
gettin anxious for some news so i looked back at some xfinitypass posts from last year and he/she/they dropped by at the end of November but didnt really give anything and then popped back in early jan with the hints for ZBB and Foo.
Ya honestly Ellie, Leon Bridges, and Moon Taxi are the only ones that look likely. Figured we'd have more by now. It's still awhile till Hangout but u also figure the lineup drops in about 2 months so maybe more leaks will surface.
