K'naan at APW

Rapper K'naan from somalia is wrecking the stage right now with his clever politically charged lyrics. I doubt many folks here know him, but they are defintely digging him now.
Weather is nice and sunny today with a breeze coming off the river - it's nice.
The vip area isn't very dope here, but its also a good thing keeping people from hanging back there and forcing them to check out the bands. Oh yeah another state park regulation, beer only no hard alcohol....

APW Park rules

Bad news at this festival...since its a state park only 5 beers are allowed. They give you a wristband with 5 tabs and that's your alottment for the day.

Your Vegas - APW

These boys from Leeds, Your Vegas are undiscovered and some mainstream media outlet need to turn folks onto these guys. They just opened up the festival with an amazing 40 minute set. Check out their song "troubled times"
Sidenote: APW is a small version of Coachella, only 3 stages and I feel like bands and artists get longer sets - which is much better

All Points West - Saturday

Great day for a festival here in the NY area. Waiting in line to get on the Ferry to head to Liberty State Park, and I'm not noticing that many hipsters waiting with me...maybe they'll show up later in the day. I hope I make it in time to catch Your Vegas.

Murder talk by be your own pet

Overheard at tonight's BYOP show, before opening for She Wants Revenge... "We should all be able to go out and buy guns and kill whoever we want to. It really doesn't matter. "

Josh Homme Is Never To Sick To Fight

Over the weekend at the Norwegian Wood festival someone decide to throw a water bottle in the middle of 3's and 7's(about the 1:30 mark in the video. After the song ends Homme decides to call out the young troublemaker berating him with a tirade of words we're sure his mother would not approve of.

Damien Jurado at the Bowery

Damien Jurado is playing a set of new tunes at the Bowery tonight. A lot of soulful yet somber songs...has Damien lost some weight? He looks thin.
