Band recommendations for this festival

[AD]

The Acorn also did a UK tour with Elbow and opened for Fleet Foxes in London and Paris. Along with a Europe tour with Ohbijou. And other stuff.

Sam Baker is really good. Check out his website for more info.

Well, had an amazing time at the fest. Great space, great people, and great performances.

Here's what I caught:

The Acorn (good set, though I think their previous set with Bon Iver was better)

Blitzen Trapper (suffered a bit from being in a severely overpacked Tipi, but they rocked out)

Bob Log III (fun stuff)

The Broken Family Band (very fun)

Dirty Projectors (meh, not as impressed as I hoped I'd be)

Explosions In The Sky (awesomeness. can't wait to see these guys again)

Fleet Foxes (incredible set. Perfect venue for them. So much better than last time I saw them)

Jarvis Cocker and Richard Hawley DJ set (unimpressive)

The Leisure Society (great discovery. A local band from brighton who make lovely sounds)

Loney, Dear (fun band)

The Low Anthem (excellent!)

Magnolia Electric Co. (good show, not fantastic though)

Neko Case (great set. Didn't go in expecting much but she was great)

Okkervil River (another great set. really well received and high energy)

Shearwater (can't really remember to be honest!)

Steve Earle (great set. did a lot of Townes Van Zandt stuff which I love)

The Tallest Man On Earth (another great discovery. Killer songwriter)

Vetiver (great set. Thanks to whoever recommended!)

William Elliot Whitmore (another great set and great discovery).

Thanks to all of you who suggested bands to see!

Here are a few photos from the fest:

Main Stage. Probably only held 4,000 or so and rarely had more than 3k at a time I'd say.

Nice! Glad you caught William Elliott Whitmore. I'd love to see him play.

You caught the Vetiver then - wicked - they're a fackin' great band. Check out the Fruit Bats if you can at some point... they're good friends with the Vetiver/M. Ward/Devandra Banhart crew
