This is from a recent LA Monotonix show. That's me in the bottom left corner of the picture. It was really a mind-blowingly fun and energetic show.
I just wanted to confirm for the board how great they are live.

Ra Ra Riot puts on a great live show. Beach House had one of my favorite albums last year... Of course Fleet Foxes, Animal Collective, Of montreal. Grizzly bear is great, Passion Pit great.

I have listened to virtually every Sasquatch band, and I must say, I can't stand Owl City, it is terrible. I don't like BLK JKS, or Death Vessel either. I am now a fan of Dent May and that Uk, as well as Dodos, King Khan, and Devotchka.

PSS, can the mods lock the douche bag spam threads?

I've been listening to a lot of the Avett Brothers lately. Some really, really good stuff. I hope they play some of their stuff from previous albums(especially the songs "SSS" and "Swept Away". Two beautiful songs)

The more I look into bands on this line-up the happier I get. Ra Ra Riot is good stuff. I did not know the Submarines were the "Iphone song" band, so I am checking them out now. I definitely have been enjoying some Mt. Saint Helens Vietnam band lately too. My schedule continues to evolve and I don't think that I am going to make it over to the comedy tent because there are too many good bands.

Funny, Ra Ra Riots were mentioned a couple times. I had to google this band to confirm that the lead singer is not indeed the same lead singer for Vampire Weekend. I don't like either band. I especially don't like them because of their great names. I expect doom metal out of Vampire Weekend, and electronic/dance out of Ra Ra Riot.
Three Yeti bands I like on album, and wouldn't mind seeing live.
Dutchess & the Duke: I really like their style, their songs are lyrically interesting, and the name is so fitting. When I listen to them, I feel the "she's the dutchess, he's the duke" in a similar way to "he's the DJ, I'm the rapper." Really bad spot in the lineup though, sandwiched between the Gogol/Blitzen conflict, and the Fleet Foxes/Monotonix conflict.
Loch Lomond: Really soothing music. Unfortunately, again, not many will be there that early unless they are there to see the Heartless Bastards.
Builders and Butchers: Their sound is not for everyone. It can come off as annoying, but to me, it is catchy and unique. But why opposite the Avett Brothers?
