Jenn: What a space cadet.

Tracy: Is he wearing tinfoil on his head?

Tracy: I liked them. But it seemed a little bit like the wrong venue for them. I’d rather listen to the record than watch them live.

Jenn: I shook my booty. I didn’t realize they were as old as they are. They still rock, but… [Duff: They were dinosaurs, weren’t they?!?!]

Carlos: They weren’t awful, they weren’t great. I couldn’t get into it. It sounded too generic to me.

Duff: I was bored. Seemed like they weren’t playing quite together…

Duff: Duran Duran wanna-bes. A combo of Duran Duran, The Cure and Erasure. Fun and bouncy to listen to; but doing nothing to distinguish themselves from that early ’90s crowd.

Tracy: Good. They rocked. No real surprises, pretty conventional rock and roll band, but solid.

Jenn: Straight up rock. A lot of fun, nice energy.

Carlos: Enjoyed them, they were pretty good.

Duff: Once the speakers were fixed, they really filled up the field with their sound. Liked the rhythm and the energy. Definitely going to seek out their albums!

Tracy: I wasn’t into it. I would say I thought the songs were sort of interesting but I didn’t think they were well executed. For example, I thought they were very lousy singers and for a sparse arrangement where you’re highlighting vocals you need more. So I didn’t think they were good enough for what they set out to do.

Jenn: I really liked them. They have sort of an unexpected sound. They build until the point where I think they’re gonna blow up, but instead they drop out for a few seconds. It’s interesting but hard to dance to.

Carlos: I liked them. They weren’t conventional sounding, which was nice.

Duff: The music was way too sparse for me. They need to add another member who plays a “filler” instrument. They all shared vocals but at least two of the three vocalists had (to put it nicely) VERY WEAK voices.

Tracy: I liked them. I liked the skinny boy in the dress, I thought he looked like a big grasshopper. On the other hand, I thought it dragged a little bit.

Jenn: Didn’t want to watch skeletor take off his dress. The band’s not that bad — they’ve got pretty good back beat.

Carlos: They were definitely better than some of the stuff yesterday. It was kind of scary to see how waifish the guy was. I felt like if I were to stare at him, he’d break in two.

Duff: Having an anorexic emo freak as a lead singer = immediate turnoff. See ya!

Tracy: I thought she sounded good, if a little soft. She’s kind of a nut job. But she was good, despite any perceived sound issues.

Jenn: She was calm tonight. I’m kinda reviewed out. It was good.

Carlos: I enjoyed it. It was probably my favorite of the bunch regardless of sound issues. Band was really good. Simple.

Duff: They should have upped the volume on her mike a little bit, the vocals were a little quiet. But she sounded really, really pretty. Very funky and bluesy. Odd grimaces on stage and good grief I was worried that crazy vein in her neck was going to burst!!! But I really loved her set, so glad I FINALLY got to see her after two failed attempts in the past. She seemed a little unsure of herself (apologized to the audience incessantly) but I thought it was a pretty great show. Crowd loved it and got super quiet and hush so you could actually hear the vocals…at least until the Yoko Ono soundchecking started interfering a little at the end.

Tracy: They’re cool. I like ’em.

Jenn: Good, but a little too hard[core rap] for me. They have good charisma.

Carlos: Good stage presence. Enjoying it. Good sound. Hadn’t heard them before.

Duff: These guys have the crowd going more than anyone else all day. They’re up up up, sassy and lots of fun! I say yay for Clipse!!

Tracy: I wasn’t impressed. Thought it was like groove music in search of a groove: they just didn’t have any.

Jenn: Ten minutes and I was done. The drummer had a lot of energy and was very oddly interesting but not enough to hold my attention.

Carlos: I liked some of the stuff. It was interesting but maybe a little too…???… for me. A lot of noise. I just couldn’t get into the rhythm sometimes. The Abercrombie and Fitch-looking drummer looked so out of place with everyone else. But he was really into what he was doing and he’s really the reason I ended up staying.

Duff: Hated it. It sucked.

Tracy: I liked them but I was sort of far away. They sounded good. Low key.

[far away, taking a rest]

Duff: Wow, you can hear these guys a LOT better than I expected to (about 8,000 times louder than Grizzly Bear!!).
