Hexa - Dark shoegaze girl group with good sound but nothing mind blowing. The highlight of the show was JTF's cousin in the crowd going "they're all so hot" and his friends were like dude...
Hiro Kone - Really sick dark ambient/techno/jungle stuff that got me wet.
Drew McDowall (Coil) - Incredible and other worldly experience. I was blown away.
Sun Foot - Skipped most of this. Some cool guitar but not much direction.
Lonnie Holley - Holy **** what garbage. That is some of the lamest bull**** masquerading as experimental music that I've ever seen. **** this dude, seriously. And **** his basic bitch philosophy that he thinks is all deep.
No Age - Badass. Loud, energetic duo with walls of sound. Highly recommend seeing them (with earplugs).
Shabazz Palaces - What can I say? Legends. They were trying to get their sound right with the hella amateur crew throughout a lot of the show and I could tell that they weren't feeling it as much as a result, but they still rocked it. I love when they do the stuff from their first 2 EPs live since those are so performance heavy and they always have a lot of fun with it.
