I’m in no mood for frilly language and waxing poetic about shit, so let’s cut to the chase and get down with the bands you want to see and why.
Meat Puppets (4:00, Broad Street Stage) – Lots of folks forget these dudes were right in the think of it back in the ye olde grunge explosion, and they’re still out there doing the deal. No frills rock at it’s best, even though I’m still weirded out that I heard “Backwater” playing in Wal-Mart while I was standing in line a few weeks ago – proof that the Meat Puppets have their little special place in history.
Baroness (4:45, Center Square Stage) – We blow a lot of hot air about how great Baroness is, and with good reason, because they are amazing. If you show up to see one minute of one band make it Baroness, who are riding high on last years’ ‘Blue Record’, the album that came out of nowhere and I am still amazed by even a couple hundred listens later.
Anvil (6:30, Center Square Stage) – Anvil is the little band that made a big movie about how fucked up and amazing music is all at once. They will deliver face-melting solos and solid old-school metal and you will wave your devil horns high with glee. Plus, you’ll probably end up seeing these guys anyway since you will still be flat on your back from Baroness.
Surfer Blood (7:30, Broad Street Stage) – This would be a cool band to throw shit at for taking such a cool name and pairing it with shitty music.
The Spits (9:15, EMP Sky Church) – If I have to explain, then you need to go straight to the record store and do some homework.
