Caught the Lonely Forest opening for We Were Promised Jetpacks last night (who, by the way, are one of the best bands I've seen in quite sometime. check them out ASAP).

They (TLF) should be pretty good in a festval setting, their drummer can fucking wail on his set and their singer has some serious pipes. A little emo at times but I dig them.

Emo

Genre of softcore punk music that integrates unenthusiastic melodramatic 17 year olds who dont smile, high pitched overwrought lyrics and inaudible guitar rifts with tight wool sweaters, tighter jeans, itchy scarfs (even in the summer), ripped chucks with favorite bands signature, black square rimmed glasses, and ebony greasy unwashed hair that is required to cover at least 3/5 ths of the face at an angle.

Emo

Punk music on estrogen. Often acoustic guitar with soft, high male vocals that dwell exessively on the singer's feelings, especially melancholy remembrances of past relationships/mistakes in life. A form of music that diverged from punk in the '80s, the name "emo" is derived from the emotive style of the lyrics and music. This genre has lately been marketed heavily by the music industry to teenagers with bands such as Dashboard Confessional and Taking Back Sunday, and has seen much commercial and mainstream success. The music has also spawned a subculture which conforms to certain conventions in dress such as tight sweatshirts, tight band T-shirts and horn-rim glasses. Adherents profess to exessively melancholy temperments. Males that adhere to the emo subculture are sometimes confused with metrosexuals; indeed the line between the two is somwhat blurred, though both groups claim to be intouch with their emotional side. The ephemeral and hackneyed nature of emo songwriting suggests that its audience will be restricted largely to teenagers. the genre suffers from a lack of credibility outside the aforementioned demographic group, much like current Nu Metal bands.

Emo

A group of white, mostly middle-class well-off kids who find imperfections in there life and create a ridiculous, depressing melodrama around each one. They often take anti-depressants, even though the majority don't need them. They need to wake up and deal with life like everyone else instead of wallowing in their imaginary quagmire of torment.

Do I have to give the "emo lecture"? Cuz I don't think Rites of Spring, Embrace, or Moss Icon - just to name three - fit that description

Has anyone ever seen either The XX or She & Him in festival setting? Both groups have released AMAZING albums but I'm not sure if they would come across as great live bands in this setting, especially after what I've read about The XX live.

I can't say anything about the festival setting for either, but I have seen The XX live, and I was impressed by the set--taking into consideration that they had just recently lost a member in mid-tour. I'm really interested to hopefully, see them in an atmosphere that can really carry their sound.

I saw Deadmau5 at Sasquatch last year as well as on tour in Vancouver last November. I love his music, so will definately be there again.

I saw Brother Ali at Coachella '07 and wasn't all that impressed. I intend to give his music another listen in the next couple of months to decide if I feel like trying that again.

I saw MGMT at Coachella '07 as well, but the tent was so packed out, and I hadn't really heard of them at the time.

I saw Tegan and Sara in Montreal at a small club several years ago. They were alot more folky/less pop oriented then, so I'm interested to see how they've grown since then...

Granted I haven't seen She & Him in a "festival" setting, but they put on a hell of a live performance. Whereas there recordings are very "folky" they "electrify" their show up. For example, I found myself head-banging to "Why Do You Let Me Stay Here?", and that was in a seated theatre. I can only imagine it will be even better in a festival setting. Highly recommended, and I don't even listen to that much "folky" stuff.

I haven't seen them since last summer in Chapel Hill, but I'll be seeing them this Saturday in Savannah, so I'll give you a better report then.

Since I wasn't too helpful with the, She & Him/ The XX question, I Dr. Garbanzoured I should make up for it.

I saw the National in 08 at Street Scene in San Diego, and it was by far overall favorite show. The emotions that Matt was able to get across just infused the experience with so much energy. Mind you there were other amazing indelible performances by Devotchka, TVOTR, Ghostland, and Justice. I also caught MGMT there, it was the first performance on the first day off one of the smaller stages, but it was an amazing way to start the weekend, I'm going to be intrigued to see how they do.

Unfortunately the sound was setup perfectly and there were complications mid-set for many bands that weekend it seemed especially worst for the New Pornographers, I was really excited to see them as it was my first and they're a favorite band of mine, A.C. got understandably frustrated and the show just got bad. I still think they'll be an amazing show and plan on seeing them this year.

I've seen Band of Horses several times, and by far my favorite experience is when they played in the Hollywood Bowl, (which if you've seen the movie, it's the one Jim Carey and Zooey Deschnael sing in during "Yes Man,") it's a big amphitheater, great setting and sound--they played exceptionally well.

I saw the Long Winters play at my University back in 2006, it was a great show purely by how they played off the crowd. Great show, great music, highly recommend.

They Might Be Giants at a park relatively close to my house last year played a kid's set and a regular set. Not much to say; if you like their music you won't be disappointed.

Went and saw Freelance Whales tonight and fucking CYMBALS EAT GUITARS played a surprise set. I read somewhere that they weren't good live but they absolutely tore the place down. I can't wait to see them again at Sasquatch. Freelance Whales was great too. Both quality bands.
