Not sure how I feel posting this after all THAT... but anyway
Here's a video from last week when Flo performed a cover of Silver Springs at a church in London. If she sings this at Hangout (doubtful but hey I can't help it) then y'all promise to gather my melted body off the sand. (What am I saying? I'm gonna dissolve at her set anyway.)
Another masked Inforooers is unmasked! I own Alabama Shakes albums and it is a time and place kinda thing with me. If it's a small bar, dark, feeling pissed off, beer or blues-rock drink the Shakes fits the bill. I like them. I like Brittany and Hollllldddddd On.
Am I believing my eyes and Krisp, Anna and others think Shakes > Florence? Wow.
Brittany from the Shakes is extremely talented and has a set of pipes. The shows are to toned down for me. Just rock out like we all know you can. Stage setup was her in front and the rest of the band in a half moon arc behind her. Just wasn't feeling the vibe.
Okee thread is a dumpster fire. Glad this thread has maintained some sanity which is directly related to the lack of trolls rolling in.
I think the AShakes come downto if you really and appreciate someone with pipes or if you just want to rock out instrumentally. Just a guess. I can sometimes get super board even when someone with a killer voice is on stage.

That's exactly it. I became bored after awhile. Even the band didn't look interested at times. Wife and I were joking around that the guy on keys was about to fall asleep.

He was slightly disappointing when I saw him in January as opposed to when we saw him last March. Cut the fucking Backstreet Boys out the set Snails. Please?
As for the Shakes. I kind of agree with everyone. They are a little overrated, but I've seen them a couple of times and understand who they are and what they do. It's nothing super great or anything but I think they might be more engaging in a club setting. A lot of the sound can be a little generic though I don't dispute their passion or abilities.

I did not say Shakes > Florence. They are too very different sounds. Very different. I'm a huge Florence fan. And also a huge Shakes fan.
Watching the 2012 highlights on Palladia and The Shakes are on playing Hold On. This one song sounds better than any of the ones they played when I seen them, just felt like they had more energy. The crowd is massive too.
The 2:15 slot on the Chevy/Surf stage would fry an egg. I was there. Shakes gave it a valiant effort. We left and I think went to the shade of Main stage for Coheed and Cabria who were fantastic. Some really good musicians have withered and struggled on stages facing the sun. Amos Lee his first time at Hangout melted. Crowd was roasted and lethargic. Steve Winwood, Mavis Staples, and Blackberry Smoke also faced the sun and it made a difference in their performances. The schedule can make or break you. Having said that, TV on the Radio embraced the sun and rocked! I hope the Hangout schedulers really consider the sun and afternoon heat when scheduling this year.
Good Wednesday morning Hangout fans. Looks like #71 on our countdown to Hangout is the Muddy Magnolias. Given all the rain in the ARKLATEX this morning, good fit. There is a decent bio on the Hangout Website for this band... lineup.hangoutmusicfest.com/band/muddy-magnolias
Comments? Sounds like a fun show. Restaurant stage maybe. I'll be there barring a conflict with a couple folks that are must sees.

"Amos Lee killed it his first around." Hey djjazzyjoe, where were you located at that show? It was a good show because he was up in the shade, but 80% of the people where we were camped in the sand were pretty blah/wasted. The second time around with the choir was one of my favorite Hangout shows ever. I play a lot of Amos Lee and miss him on the concert circuit. I believe he is in some sort of legal trouble over the lyrics to one of his songs. Last I heard he was back in South Carolina teaching-college and playing small gigs.

We were up front by the bathrooms and beer tent. It was pretty hot that day but we kicked back. Drank some beers.
If memory serves me right for the second show, some roided up lady in LSU gear got in my face because I was in her view of the left screen. I told her sorry and moved 4-6 feet to my left and that wasn't good enough for her. Keep in mind she was sitting in the sand. She eventually flexed in my face and I laughed and removed myself. People are strange.
Just bought pit tickets for Ray Lamontagne. Selfishy hoping he isn't added to HOMF.
