This band from Montreal, a last <br>minute addition this AM, had a great stage presence, great songs, great lyrics and delivered what could easily be the set of the day. In the Spirit of Unity Through Diversity the Canadian kids kept ole' Hooky cool with ice water showers and I sang Oh Canada with them after the set.

The singer got out into the crowd and got the party started. Another Fender Jaguire in the band. <br><br>Listening to Bat for Lashes. Her beats are much more powerful live. Diffently a mesmerizing performance! All female except for one male. I would call her Englands slightly more pop answer to Enya. I can't help but feel like I should be listening to this under an Elvish starlit night in Rivendale!<br><br>HookySir Hook of Warrick aka "David K Wells"http://www.blogger.com/profile/14036130304612683613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4489310405541465454.post-4827636455811812502009-08-09T13:44:53.806-07:002009-08-09T13:44:53.806-07:00Airborne Toxic Event made the heat just a little b...Airborne Toxic Event made the heat just a little bit hotter. Great party atmosphere and a fun band! I didn't realize that the female member also plays violin. Listening to recordings I assumed the strings where all sampled keyboard parts...which they did do too. Nice to see a band I've liked for a while who would otherwise be difficult to catch live!<br>HookySir Hook of Warrick aka "David K Wells"http://www.blogger.com/profile/14036130304612683613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4489310405541465454.post-79375448262592233452009-08-09T14:02:35.378-07:002009-08-09T14:02:35.378-07:00Ravonettes are just what I expected and one of tho...Ravonettes are just what I expected and one of those rare bands who carry the studio recording sound with them on stage! Excellent and well worth risking a heat stroke over! LOL! It's a freakin' 101 degrees right now! Some like it hot...but not this hot!

We have decided to retire to the Penthouse and finish listening to the bands with the air conditioning on full blast from the balcony. That means we'll miss Lou Reed (no big deal to me) and the Silversun Pickups (a slight disappointment). We're going for dinner after three days of Lolla food and then take a Taxi to catch the Killers closing set.<br><br>All in all, it's been one hell of a three days!
