NewChief:
Chance the Rapper (you said you liked KL, so you should like Chance as well. He's amazing. Check out free mixtape AcidRap) *I have one Chance the Rapper song on Itunes. Can't remember what the song is called, but think it's pretty cool. I'll have top check more of it out.
Father John Misty (hard to describe. Member of Fleet Foxes who left and became very different) * My bro and I became fans of Fleet Foxes after watching them in the rain at Lolla 4 years ago...my bro burned me a FJM CD, and I like his stuff MORE than FF. I had that CD in my car for about a week straight without taking it out...definitely seeing his show. He was funny at the Fleet Foxes show at Lolla a couple years ago. During a break, he was like, "whoa, I looked at one of the screens and was like, 'who is that Harry and the Hendersons looking beast?!?! Then I realized it was me. That's a weird feeling'"
Ghost B.C. (crazy metal act) * I'll have to check these guys out.
Frightened Rabbit (lots of hype on these guys) * I'll have to check these guys out.
Local Natives (Gorilla Manor was probably one of my favorite albums that year. Wasn't as jazzed on the followup, but they're still awesome) * I have that album as well. My bro burned it for me. They are a Sub-Pop group, right? I like them and will likely see them for the 2nd time...saw them at Lolla a couple years ago.
Death Grips (Watching Stef go ****ing insane on stage is worth the price of admission.) * I LOVE this dude.
Foals (Been listening to the hell out of these guys lately) * I really like what I've heard from Foals, but they play at the same time as Heartless Bastards, which is another band I like. This will be a situational decision when it comes.
Heartless Bastards (I've seen them a couple of times. They put on a good show, and the singer's voice is amazing). * Haha, I didn't notice you included them when I read what you wrote about Foals. Kind of a shitty situation, eh? I missed these guys a couple years ago and regretted it....
Alt-J (I really liked this album) * I have 2 of their songs. What I've heard is pretty unique..can't really compare them to anyone in particular. They'll be playing at same time as Two Door Cinema Club, which has a couple songs I like, but they are playing right before and on same side as Grizzly Bear...a show I refuse to miss, so I will probably go to Alt-J.
Vampire Weekend (probably one of my favorite bands who seem to be getting better with each release. Their new album is fantastic. They can be hit or miss live). * I have "Self Titled" and "Contra." Haven't heard anything from "Modern Vampires of the City." I saw them a couple years ago at Lolla and wasn't blown away, but wasn't disappointed. They were enthusiastic and seemed to be having a lot of fun. I will probably miss this show because they will be playing at the same time as Grizzly Bear...which will piss my wife off because VW is one of her fave bands and she's never seen them. I may be solo at Grizzly Bear while everyone else is at VW. I thought it was kind of weird that they scheduled those two bands at the same time.
Baroness (**** yes!) * I'll have to check these guys out.
* A couple of other bands that I am intrigued by are; Bright Light Social Hour, Ben Howard, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Dada Life, The Lumineers, Matt and Kim, Frontier Ruckus, The Vaccines, Imagine Dragons, O' Brother, Wild Country, DllV and Atlas Genius.
* Really, really stoked about this band, Twenty-One Pilots. I've never heard a band that sounds quite like them. I would highly encourage anyone to check their shit out. If you do check them out, start with "Ode to Sleep," then go to "Holding On to You," "Trees," "Migraine" and "Car Radio." As odd as this sounds, to me, they seem like a combination of; Queen, Eminem and Ben Folds Five...... GREAT band.
