Day 4

The Spinto Band - Quieter, Dancy, Jazzy. We'd heard, but not seen, them before, they were good.
Disappears - Rock music. All I remember about them was that they were loud.
Casiokids - Great. High energy poppy dance rock band from Norway. They made us tired just watching them dance around stage.
Echo and The Bunnymen - They were good. They played a lot of their old stuff (which Justin knew but I'm not sure that I've ever heard them before.) They played on the stage that was being brodcast on DirectTV, so it was a flashier show than most.
Delicious - (We aren't 100% sure this was the band that we saw, there was a different schedule posted at the venue when we got there, compared to the one in our guides.) They were an avant/experimental string/piano band.
Hot Panda - Canadian rock band. We've seen them before at the Grist Mill in Waterloo. They were good. Slightly heavier sounding than the first time we saw them.
The Tender Box - Rock band, they were good. We caught the end of their set before Wintersleep started.
Wintersleep - They were another great Canadian band. I only knew one of their songs, but I enjoyed them all. (They sing Weighty Ghost, which has been popular on the radio in the past).
The Morning After Girls - Also good. I don't remember anything distinctive to mention, but I enjoyed them. We mostly saw them because we wanted to see Perry Farrell and they were the act before; we were worried about not being able to get in so we went early.
Perry Farrell - (Lead singer of Jane's Addiction) This was different than we expected... Jane's Addiction had been in the city, as they played a party the other night (we weren't lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time to get wrist bands to get into the party, but we've heard that it was awesome.) This wasn't Jane's Addiction. He's gone all dance/techno as a solo act. It was quite strange to see. He looked a little out of place. And the dance remixes of the JA songs were a little odd, but it was interesting to see none-the-less.

I was going to get to those, we've been traveling along since leaving Austin. I wanted to post photos along with it and I'm just too lazy, so I haven't posted anything. In the mean time, Justin has been posting a bit about everyday I think on his travel blog (link on the side of main page.)
