Hollerado

The most energetic show I experienced at Hillside was Hollerado. I was still on a high from seeing Mother Mother and I drifted into the Island stage tent in which an unimaginable amount of people packed themselves. They were packed in like sardines. People were standing on picnic tables which gave the illusion of a sea of people frozen in mid-wave. It was beautiful.

The music was energetic and the musicians were putting their all into it. It was a zillion degrees, everyone was sweating and dancing and having a great time. Massive glowing orbs bounced around the crowd and at one point a confetti canon was set off. It was magical. It helped that I was a bit tipsy as well....

At the show, they did a rehashing of Amy Winehouse's Rehab to commemorate her death, which was either the same day or day after it was announced. They also covered The Bird is the Word, which was surprisingly amazing.

The album Record in a Bag is a great party album, especially the song Juliette. I also really enjoy Americanarama, Fake Drugs and Hard Love. Solid band to listen to with an incredible vibe. Fantastic.
