fun ^3

So it's a little late for the recap and most of you got it all in during the fest but let me just say that these two videos were from my favorite shows the entire weekend.

Don't get me wrong, there were some fantastic sets from most performers.

Death, Mika Miko, Atlas Sound, Lucero, Dj Nu Mark, Pharcyde, Gza, and so many others.

But my faves were locals saying goodbye to one of their members in a tribute set [obviously emotional] and once a local freestylin' with a clever stream of consciousness about squirrels, syphilis, and lost lunches.

Bankrupt & The Borrowers.
I've been meaning to see them this past year, but being that they were local, i'd 'go to their next show'.
Unfortunately, due to the loss of one of their members in an electrical fire, this was the last show they will play as this band. RIP Jon Pettis.



I don't know the members of this band personally, but by the end of this set, my heart went out to all of those who lost someone. I had goosebumps the entire time during this song and for good reason. This set was the best goodbye anyone could ever give.


On a lighter note, I've always been a fan of seattle based MC, Andy Bothwell aka Astronautalis. And he is a fan of Texas just as much.
But before taking off on tour in the UK, he stopped in for a bit of fun.fun. and fun.

Known for his set freestyle, where he gets subjects from the fans/crowd themselves, and won't repeat something that has been done in a previous act. He spits lyrics flowing from that blonde head of his with enough talent that it should be written down somewhere!




Besides his freestyle, his lastest album, Pomegranate is fantastic. When he performs I feel as though a bit of Tom Waits comes through with his throaty bluesy vocal tracks and admirable red face, knowing he's giving it as hard as he can.
Also, one of my faaaaavorite tracks, is not on his album at all, but it's a ghost track he did with P.O.S's on his lastest album, Never Better, called Handmade Hand Gun

This guy is not only all over the place touring, but doing his thing with the cream of the crop. So if you haven't make sure you check him out ASAP. You won't regret it.


Even through all the rain and muck that occured on Sunday, the entire fest was great. a] i got to sleep in my own bed, which is a favorite past time of mine annnnnd b] all of my friends were there [that includes you :) ] and c] best line up EVAR!!!!!!!

Don't miss out on next years festival because you know Transmission will only outdo themselves again.
