Noise Pop, day 3.
the Sensations. best opener i've seen so far. throw in a desert rock longing for a clean chorus of vocals, and mixing in some unsaturated vibrato and big muff, you get super tight harmonies too clean for stoners to fly away from; their rythms grounded and expansive like a train trucking through all seasons, all terrains, stopping here and there to pick up a story or two.
the Lamps. raw garagee punkish vibe. what can i say?
Black Lips. fucking best of the night! this was the moment the crowd got to feel, sweat, and lose themselves in the glorious drunken revelry you might get while bogged down in a southern backyard party, drenched in beer and mandatory fuck yous that can result in a good 'ol beat-down, or brotherly hug. loved it when the lead guitarist lit a pack fire crackers from his mouth. need i say more?
yes, and we have the Dirtbombs. motor city does rock, that's for sure. but i kinda wished they'd strip it down. what can i say, i like the old Gories days. but hey, they definitely got people movin' and shakin', and they threw in some dub. that was pretty cool.
