Fri 14 Sep – Monolith Festival
Wife & i only went to day 1. Wife's a big fan of the decemberists as am i. (i introduced her circa "picaresque".)
We arrived during Ghostland Observatory's set. There was barely anyone in the stands, as reflected by the few cars in either parking lot, so we snagged a spot in the 8th row. Ghostland was very energetic and entertaining given their 2 member makeup. They harken back to the mid-90s industrial sound and made me feel like i was in college at an on-campus event. Good show considering i hadn't heard their stuff before and was just glad to finally be at Red Rocks.
CYHSY! had good energy, especially the multi-instrument kids. They played all their best-known, catchy numbers, including "satan said dance", a candidate for best song of the year. But the lead singer's vocals were off-kilter (even for him). i think there were mic problems, and the fact that he mumbled some lyrics certainly detracted from my enjoyment.
