i enjoy grouplove. havent checked out the new album yet though
I didn't see a new album on itunes this morning. Grouplove's latest album was in 2013...correct? I did see a 2014 EP of live previously released songs. I did double check and there is a new video/song release.
I like them too. I thought they were perfect for the beach, tie dye, beach balls on stage, and all that. Sounded pretty pop to me, but whatever, I enjoyed the show.

I almost started thinking the Mowglis were Grouplove last year. They're like BFFs. I saw the whole crew of G Lovers @ Salt Lick the morning after an ACL after party two years ago. I said hello, and then proceeded to continue to not bother them as they looked all sorts of hung over. It'll be cool to see how they have progressed over a few years. Grouplove > Matt Kim if it comes down to them.
They have like 4-5 songs that everyone has heard but u may not even know they sing them. they're not musically great or anything special but they're always a fun show. They're just fine for what they are. They're perfect for the pre-party imo.
so, I am trying to decide about the Kickoff...for those that have done it before, is it worth it? A good time? Where do the bands play? How long are sets? Basically, what is the dealio?

It's the boom boom tent and an area by the Paladia Stage and then then there was one other area where Black Tiger Sex Machine set up. It's off the beach, though last year they had the beer garden between the main highway street and beach open for drinks. It's basically an afternoon to evening group of sets (4-10 or 4-11 or something). I thought it was worth it, and it's the only time we have gone in our 4 years of Hangout. Security was way spottier than the fest itself, and it was a good time. At this point, you just have to ask yourself if the acts are worth the $50 to you. I actually think it is (Freedia, Baauer, Moon Taxi as People of the Sun) though I doubt I'm going to go to the fest anyway much less the pre-party.
no beach stages. used 3 stages in the past i think but not even sure if 3 are needed this year; Restaurant stage, Palladia, and Tent are used. I only went in 2014 and had a blast. the crowd was really light early on but when i went i t started at 3 or 330. I think this lineup is worth even though i dont like they raised the price again, ill be in town on Weds so ill be there for sure. i also remember the rides being available too, pretty sure it was thurs when i did the mega drop
I'm probably going to buy a ticket. Group love and Moon Taxi Rage plus being so close hard to turn down. I've been every year and always good time. Last year a couple glitches with band not showing and power going off. Not that crowded. 2013 was awesome with Umphreys and Railroad Earth.

Pre party is always a good time. Free Pizza Hut the last two years. You gt so see the grounds before they are crowded with people. Had a chance to take some pics with art installation before all the masses over the weekend. Get to see shows with literally 150 people in the crowd (joey badass) and for the money with the hours it run 6-11 you'll proly get to see 5 of the seven bands.
Lil dicky and baauer sold me. Freedia, Matt and Kim and group love is just icing on top.
I'm also digging Samo sound boy for some chill shit edm. Can't get that you come for me song outta my head.
Dang and I forgot the rage set!!! Which is awesome cause it gives the option to skip moon taxi at the fest if they conflict with another act I want to see.

Can't believe we skipped the pre-party but it was our first time going to Hangout and we didn't know how good Lotus/Umph/St Paul/Conspirator were. I think you'll like Grouplove, Bob.
on another note...this thread is by far the most active of the Festival threads...even more so that a bunch of the Roo threads...any thoughts as to why?
Focus on fun time at beach my friend. Some of us met for brews at the Purple" house last year so it's personal. Keep politics and religion out of this thread helps. Finally, keeping it friendly. My opinion.

Great community that loves this fest and wants it to be the best it can be!! Plus we have more to brag about being on the beach and all drinking tasty piña colladas and pealing shrimp all day.

So my buddy just text me and said he found out today he will be out of vacay tike and will have to leave the Monday after hangout. Since we normally stay til Tuesday can anyone fill me in so I can let him know what to expect for traffic.
He's debating leaving Sunday after it's over or getting up early Monday and hitting the road.

There hasn't been much trolling here either. It def seems more united then the others. Last year, one of the people here (Sorry, I always forget who exactly it was) had a major car accident and couldn't afford to go. So we banded together and bought him a ticket.

..it's debatable, but it's probably for the content provided by our friends at Happy Friday!
This week the talk of Lake Street Dive reminded us of one of our favorite songbirds, Sarah Harmer. She dabbles in alt-rock, alt-country and folk. The first selection is a duet/vocal trade off song with The Skydiggers. Just a great song. The second is Sarah covering Dolly Parton. Enjoy!

People are pretty much real or e-friends; we all have this in common; Hangout gets a lot of troll-love; Krisplettuce will bump it for no other reason than no one has posted in a few hours; it's been a fun time for a long time; I bitched a lot about the soft lineup this year. Those are a few of the reasons.

There isn't much traffic on the beach expresses or anything, and there's certainly not any on the I-10. I don't ever drive to Dallas, so I'm assuming you take I-10 to I-12 to the re-merge with I-10 then to I-49 to Shreveport and cut over rather than taking the I-65 or I-59 to I-20 and then cut over. If you take the 65 or 59 to the 20, then it's not an issue. But if you take the I-12 to Baton Rouge (to rejoin with the I-10 on the way to the I-49), just tell him don't be on either hour side of rush hour traffic in Baton Rouge. Anything before 7 or after 9 isn't really a problem. But between 7-9 it's a bitch.
Ever have those days where you wake up and say, nah, i'm not going to the show tonight. And as the day progresses, you're like, I don't need to spend the money, I want to wake up fresh tomorrow, I've got a lot to do...nah, I've seen them before, and I've got that other show soon...but the itch remains and in the back of your mind you know that there is a better than average chance you're gonna' be in that uber at 9:00pm ready for another adventure.
Re driving out Sunday or Monday. Monday morning on Beach Blvd, 59, etc., is a slow moving parking lot. My roommates have gotten up early and made it home fine. Sunday night would depend in closer, but it is probably the easy way out around 9:00 pm.
My son is getting me pumped up for some of the artists I didn't really care about. Funny how that works out.

I had exactly that last night seeing Mutemath. I had to be at work 645AM and the show ended @ 1230AM. Yeesh. In honor of that, I changed my sig GIF and avatar to some hopeful Hangout Addition.
Good Saturday morning. 82 Days left til Hangout Music Festival Pre-Party!
This morning's artist in the countdown is Lil Dicky. "David Andrew Burd (born March 15, 1988) better known by his stage name Lil Dicky or LD, is an American rapper and comedian. He came to prominence with the release of the music video to his song "Ex-Boyfriend", which went viral with more than one million views on YouTube in 24 hours. Burd released his debut album Professional Rapper on July 31, 2015. Burd grew up in an upper middle class Jewish family in the Elkins Park neighborhood of Cheltenham Township, a township on the north border of Philadelphia. He attended Cheltenham High School and then the University of Richmond. He then relocated to San Francisco, California, where he worked in account management at the advertising agency Goodby, Silverstein & Partners.
