i think the Revivalists will close it in the J Roddy slot last year which was during the Surf closer. J Roddy was billed in a similar spot if not lower last year.
Revivalists vs Ellie would be nice.
agreed. i believe the revivalists are on Friday so them closing BMI with a good opposition to the Weaknd in the tent would be a great way to close the night out for me, for all of ussssss
BMI Stage suX. Asphalt, hot, crowded, food vendors on both sides, small stage, difficult to see stage from a couple heads back. I can see the Muddy Magnolias and Brett Dennan on that stage. In the past a small 3-5 person band traveling light will fit ok. Best for 2 man band or EDM. Putting the Revivalists, Koa, Strangers you Know and Half Moon Run, on the BMI is a bad call IMHO. Another reason to whine/complain about the new "Hangout out with my teenage kids Festival". LOL
A friend who just got back from the beach asked me if I had heard "THE" news about spring breakers and troubles Gulf Shores was having. I said yes, I heard about them stopping beer on the beach thru 17 April. She said there were a couple deaths, the city is stripping the beach every night after dark of anything like tents, chairs, etc, a lot of problems with sanitation not keeping up, costing the city a lot to keep up that they did not budget for (fire, police, ambulance service). I copied this from WALA
It will be interesting to see all this plays out for Hangout. From what I am hearing, it is not going over well. I have heard others beachdude who say it is just a few locals with their hair on fire.
I agree. BMI is not the best. It is very hot on the asphalt. By far the warmest stage. Also, a very small stage. I can't imagine the Revivalists on that stage. I did see the Districts there last year and they were incredible.
I was in Orange Beach/Gulf Shores last weekend and I have never seen so many college students. They were all very nice though. I did not see any bad behavior. I think the City and the locals are overwhelmed. They are afraid of becoming the next Panama City, so they are really cracking down and overreacting. Both Orange Beach and Gulf Shores have a new ordinance that you cannot leave anything on the beach overnight (tents, chairs, etc.). They will throw them away and ticket you. That applies year round-not just spring break.
Well hey...the thread is getting some life. Not always positive, but news is good as it means Hangout is getting closer!
Thursday morning #56 Health on our countdown. From Wiki: "Health (often stylised as HEALTH) is an American noise rock band from Los Angeles, California. Health was created after its members agreed the name should be an "everyday word." After reviewing a long list of terms, “health” was the only one not taken. Health released their first remix album in 2008 with remixes of tracks off their debut album. The CD also included 5 data-only tracks that can be accessed through a computer. This was the band’s highest rated album on Pitchfork with a score of eight.Health has been described as having "artfully crafted noise and raw synth, haunting monotone vocals, and drum skills that are borderline insane. Guardian Unlimited writer, Louis Pattison, describes the Crystal Castles version of "Crimewave" as "melancholy electro-pop built from pixelated synths and depressed vocals that hint at a past programmer of busy and sustained serotonin depletion. The band's unusual sound can be partially credited to the use of the Zoothorn, which is a permutation of microphone and guitar pedal and an occasional atonal sound without a symmetrical structure. Lyrically, the band describes the role of lyrics as being "purposely kept vague for the listener" "...[Lyrics] sort of begin to bring out this more individual quality to the whole thing like, ‘These are the lyrics, and this is the guy is singing them, so I can relate to that.’ Which is really not something we want. We wanted the vocals to have an even, unaffected feel. A softness, like a Zombies melody, or even a Gregorian chant. We aren’t just interested in being a noisy screaming band."
Comments? Note to self, don't forget your ear plugs. HEALTH = synthesizers gone wild.
Yeah...Revivalists then Miike Snow would do our Friday night well and probably not go to Weaknd. Revivalists were on Palladia last time and filled the place up. Don't get why they would put them on a smaller stage. BMI is already conflicting with Restaurant, Palladia, and Main Stage sound wise so ????? It is like we have to start the learning curve all over with GV.
Is it just me or is Brett Dennan a little creepy. With his voice and looks it's like Warwick Davis attempting a Tom Petty impression. Still going to give him a listen though...

The Districts are by far my favorite festival find of last year. SO good.
And hey, I was one of those college students in the area last weekend! So glad to hear that not everyone outside of the "Spring breakers" demographic had a terrible experience.

Regarding the crackdown on alcohol consumption at Gulf Shores. The measures taken in this instance are the most extreme I've seen, but the battle is nothing new.
I went to high school in Mobile, AL from 1996-2000, which is about an hour away from Gulf Shores, so we spent a lot of time on the beach. Lots of day trips during the summer and pretty much every spring break. The cops cracked down real hard during spring break: stop and frisk, undercovers, even house raids. Every year I had friends get arrested. Never happened to me, guess I just got lucky.
Being older now I'm way more sympathetic to the Gulf Shores cops. College kids is one thing, but high school kids walking around with drinks and getting completely hammered (which is exactly what I was doing at the time) is not an image anybody wants for their city.
While the city council at Gulf Shores is generally pretty ridiculous, particular measures they've attempted to take with hangout fest in the past, I understand what they are trying to do with the no alcohol on the beach during spring break thing.

Ne215 and myself have down our share of tearing up the NJ coastline either underage or 2 years ago. But some of those cities were known shitholes (ie Atlantic City). Just because it is spring break doesn't mean they have to let their tourists tear the fucking place apart. Especially something as sensitive as a coast. So I definitely agree with you. I love me some SXSW but for fucks sake, the final Saturday the city is littered in posters, paper plates, CDs no one wants, random bullshit marketing junk like cozies and glowsticks, and police just running every trying to prevent 6th street from turning into a riot.
Every Sunday at hangout I have a little cringing moment when I see the beach littered with beer cans and sandals and everyone just stumbles away. Cue Sweet Home Alabama
The fact that you guys aren't even the least bit excited about HEALTH, when they're probably one of the best/most interesting acts on this vanilla soy latte of a lineup, speaks volumes. HEALTH is fucking awesome.

The fact that you post this after one negative, one positive and one maybe is completely typical.

sorry we dont share the same music tastes of you. im willing to check it out but cant really get into their music, no big deal, youll live.

I am into Health, although I doubt any of my fellow HOFers I am travelling with will be. I will check them out definitely.
I've walked by live performers I dissed earlier and wound up enjoying their show. Something about live and vibe changes things. I'm not ruling them in or out. Need schedule. Agree with Ken Sumar on getting a plan together. The only acts I'm totally down for something else are weekend, most EDM, and most tent performers. I'd rather listen to myself play guitar and drink beer while watching waves crashing on the beach.
Def not as good but that's the vibe I get too. Which is why I really really like them lol. I'd pay a hefty chunk of change to have NIN on the beach but they're in the same category with Tool, Metallica, etc. that just have zero shot because of the type of music they are.
