Review & some crappy snapshots by Jason Harper

DAY ONE: night

I got back in time to hear Eleni Mandell singing my anthem, Makeout King. Just kidding, that’s not my anthem. “Paying for Dinner and Having You Home by Ten” is my anthem. The pictures I got of Eleni, the festival’s biggest name and mellowest chanteuse, were all out of focus. Sorry. Roach’s own band, It’s Over, took the grand stage next, and people got up on the PA speakers and danced toward the end of the set, but the pictures I took of that sucked, too. Don’t worry, though, Anna-Marie Perry was there with her professional power-demon camera in hand, and I’ll be posting the good shit soon. (I AM ONLY ONE MAN, KANSAS CITY!) Ah what the hell. Here are a few teasers:
