It's been a while since I have attended a festival; it's hot, I don't like to hula-hoop, and after about 18 hours, all the music sounds the same.
However, there is one festival in Missouri that has me intrigued :
immix in the stix
intrigued because it doesn't seem to be the usual mash-up of "jammyspammy" - there's some really good bands on there - Driving Wheel, who I love...Devon Allman (hint : he has a famous dad) always rocks the house...Lions of Hazelwood are like a mix of the Stones and Black Keys, but heavier. Colton & Zara are almost "indie kids"...but they aren't as pretentious and more earnest.
I've heard of Particle, don't know much about 'em, but they're with a guy from String Cheese Incident, and I dig them, so...
This thing is about 2 hours away from where I live, and it's cheap as heck - $70 for a 3 day VIP.
Thing is...I don't know who half the other bands are (which isn't a bad thing; at ALL.) especially the electronica-types - don't know much about them at all.
Anyone know anything about this?
Anybody in Missouri/Kansa/Iowa/Arkansas/Nebraska/Illinois going to this?
I have a friend coming from Colorado; she says she's down to go.
Why not?
