MPMF.10!!! - Thursday

This was the 9th Mid Point Music Festival and I must say it was pretty awesome. My only regret is not getting to see more bands. Usually it's all about checking out bands I've never heard of or seen until MPMF, but this year they had some bigger names and being a monster Heads fan I couldn't pass up seeing Tom Tom Club. I also couldn't miss Caribou or Phantogram, both of which blew my mind. And for Holy F*ck, they will make you put panties on your head and run around on stage.

The first show of the night was the bratty sounding Best Coast at the Grammers tent.





Via Tania was great at the Segway room, instead of trying to write something about her sound and amazing voice, I'll just copy snippets I've read online: "from Portishead to Beth Orton" - "a cooing, shivering, meowing tendril of a voice with vocal turns that breath and purr and whisper hauntingly" - "she crafts a form of trip-hop and post-rock that is often compared to Sade".







The last band we saw on Thursday night was Holy F*ck at the Cincinnati Club, they were super intense and high energy, and a cool venue to boot, despite the low stage.

He kept pulling this tape like object up an out of some machine. I have no idea what kind of instrument that was.

How does that mic taste?
