I went to the Great Blue Heron Music Festival once again. This was my second year to do so and I again camped there for the weekend. If you’ve never gone to anything like this, you should, at least once, because it’s an experience you’ll never forget. It’s total immersion in a different world, a place where everyone is friendly and only the simplest of rules, the Golden Rule, for instance, matter.
I’ll comment on things, bands mostly, as music is why I go there, in random order. I’ll also keep each topic short. No sense belaboring any one point.
Also, I took pictures. Over a thousand of them. It pretty much tells most of the story that way and I’m uploading them a little at a time to the Gallery. Read the rest of this entry »
I received an email with the link to this cool, if not eeriely troubling, video on YouTube. I don’t know where it took place, but the band is mostly The Vores, and I think I saw Guillermo Isquidero on mando, as well. I assume the intent of the email was to dare me to post it!
From their recent Town Ballroom show, Chris Trapper (Push Stars, grew up in Buffalo) and Guillermo Izquierdo (The Corrections, Original Skin) are caught on video. (Thanks to Guillermo for passing on this link.)
A great piece of Buffalo music from YouTube. Guillermo promises more when he gets time, so check back there later.
