Young Man at Lincoln Hall on June 26, 2012

written by: Jason Radford on June 28, 2012

There were no special tricks in their June 26th show at Lincoln Hall—no covers, few spits of dialogue and very little motion on stage—and at times, when the show lagged, it wouldn’t have hurt to see some spice.

Bonnaroo 2012 – Red Hot Chili Peppers

written by: Taylor Brennan on June 13, 2012

Red Hot Chili Peppers ( WHAT STAGE – 10PM ) I now understand the phrase ignorance is bliss. I feel like how Dorothy must have felt, looking behind the curtain to find her beloved wizard was just a goofy little twerp. I have spent the better part of the 90’s and 2000’s respecting and admiring […]

written by: Taylor Brennan on June 13, 2012

My feet were sore, my lower back was throbbing. I didn’t make my lofty goal of staying up past 1 am and watching the insanity that is Skrillex (and I even wanted to catch a 3:45 am showing of Wet Hot American Summer…also didn’t happen). Now was not a time to sit back and relax…Sunday […]

With day one in the books, Friday at Bonnaroo really kicks the festival into high gear, and begs important questions. How late can you sleep in your tent before roasting? To shower or not to shower?

Bonnaroo 2012 – Thursday, June 7

written by: Taylor Brennan on June 13, 2012

The first and shortest of the festival’s four day stint, Thursday really is a warm-up for the rest of the weekend. None of the three banner headliners performed on this day, but there was plenty to be excited about. Music lasted until 2am, and comedy shows and movies lasted even longer. Those walking through the […]

written by: Taylor Brennan on June 13, 2012

The excitement of a first timers’ trip to Bonnaroo pales in comparison to those that fully understand what they are in for. The weekend warriors that have made the trip in the past for a June weekend of music, comedy, and varying levels of debauchery share prior experiences like war stories. The way they smile […]

written by: Alex Bahler on June 12, 2012

“We’re full grown men/But we act like kids.” Indeed, they looked like kids playing dress up, donning vintage suits of varying fits like musically inclined used car salesmen.
