So this is more of a PSA than anything else, but this weekend is the Austin City Limits music festival. If you’re not lucky enough to be there, AT&T is streaming the show in their blue room.
I’ve gotta say, if you have a good internet connection, and are at least curious about the bands playing this weekend, the blue room is a great service. I was lucky enough to catch most of this years Bonnaroo on there, and it was a great experience, even if I couldn’t actually be there.
The fest starts on Friday and lasts through Sunday, so theres no excuse to not catch at least one group.
The bands that jump out at me are:
For Friday, Guster at 2:30PM, Nickel Creek at 4:30, Thievery Corporation at 6:30, and John Mayer at 8:15.
For Saturday, Ben Kweller at 2:30PM, The Secret Machines at 3:30, Los Lobos at 4:30, String Cheese Incident at 6:30, and Los Lonely Boys at 9:00.
For Sunday, KT Tunstall at 2:30PM, Calexico at 4:30, the Flaming Lips at 6:30, Ben Harper at 7:00, Muse and then Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers wrapping up the night.
By the way, all those times are central, so adjust accordingly, or you might miss whoever you wanted to see…if you live on the west coast.
Yes, I know listed more than half the bands for almost every day. I’ll probably be watching the ones I didn’t list as well, if I’m free. Thankfully, the festival format introduces fans to bands they aren’t really familliar with.
So, watch these great performances, if you can. That is all.
