Countdown to Bonnaroo: 6 Days – Artist of the Day: Arcade Fire

3 Jun

Since winning a Grammy for Album of the Year with Suburbs, Arcade Fire has been spreading like a wildfire as headliners for just about every festival in 2011, an honor that is well deserved.  The first time I ever heard Arcade Fire was at VEGOOSE in 2005 after they had release Funeral (which was nominated for a Grammy) and I remember being impressed but not knowing too much.  This year at Bonnaroo I am well aware and can’t wait to see the performance which should be an epic one for sure.

Countdown to Bonnaroo: 7 Days – Artist of the Day: The Black Keys

2 Jun

Here we go, one week from today the 10th Anniversary of Bonnaroo commences.  The best thing to come out of Akron isn’t Lebron James but The Black Keys.  It took a while but Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney finally hit it big with last year’s Brothers and have been riding a high since.  I’ve seen the duo twice already this year and the gritty rock riffs from Auerbach and Carney’s wailing on the drums left me craving more both times.

Countdown to Bonnaroo: 8 Days – Artist of the Day: Lil Wayne

1 Jun

I don’t think I’d purchase a ticket to his concert but the simple fact that he’s performing at a festival, yeah I’ll check out Lil Wayne.  I’m actually getting excited to see his late night set because I’m sure he’ll put on one heck of a performance, he has a grip of songs that I think everyone knows and more than anything, he’s part of the Cash Money family and was part of the Hot Boys.  I also think since it’s the grand stage of Bonnaroo, Wayne has some surprises in store, maybe Drake?  Wayne did show up at Drake’s gig in Vegas over MDW in Vegas…..
