Basilica Block Party

[Bryce]

Any other regular attendees here? Skipped last year due to schedule and lackluster bands. Got inside info (served 2 of the bigger players on the committee Easter/Masters brunch at our house) that band announcement on April 20th is going to make Friday night a hot ticket. May do skybox this year as part of wifeys birthday present as she reaches a mile marker. She already has back stage set as a goal.

I usually go with a group of friends, but also skipped last year. I'm excited to see who's playing this year.

Pretty fun night. Started out a real sauna. 103 when we walked in. Free beverages helped with the hydration process. Were just finishing our first sampling of food when the massive wet t-shirt event happened. Two more platefuls under the tent and some more beverages while waiting out the rain and occassionally getting the look from wifey. Off to the skybox to see Train. Good show with all the popular songs. Good sound. Pretty sure they cut out a few songs with the storm front coming in but all was good.

Yeah I went and saw Cake Friday night and man is my neck sore from my head constantly being on a swivel.

I was there on Saturday and I know what you mean about your having to be on a swivel. Good god! Saw Fitz and the Tantrums and the Avett Bros. I thought both were realy good. By the end of the night we right up close to the stage. It kept getting better the closer we got. Good shows, both of them.

Insider info that one of the nights will be a very hot ticket this year. Think the official announcement comes out in the next couple weeks.

Saturday night it is. Train always packs them in. Pretty sure my wifes head almost exploded watching them last time. Seeing good reviews for Alpha Rev and The Wild Feathers.

Pretty blah lineup IMO but thats what i thought last year too and ended up liking Father John Misty and Grace Potter absolutley knocked it outta the park.
