Live Reviews / Videos / News Live review: TV on the Radio

TV on the Radio w/ Dirty Projectors
Amos' Southend
June 11, 2009
The Deal: TV on the Radio played Amos’ Southend with openers Dirty Projectors.
The Good: Any sincere music lover will admit to one truth – never say never. In order for musical tastes to evolve, as they always do, one must be willing to maintain an open mind, to give sounds that once aggravated the ear drums a chance to insert themselves in the psyche. Anyone who’s ever hated the first listen of a particular album only to love it a few weeks later knows what I’m talking about. The same holds true for bands in general. Such is the case with my relationship with TV on the Radio. In 2006, I saw them live after hearing bits and pieces from their earlier albums. The live show, as is often the case, was the deciding factor for this listener. They bored me immensely; I merely waited for my beloved cape-wearing Goths, Bauhaus and their kin, the headlining Nine Inch Nails to take the stage.

Photos / Live Reviews / Blogaroo / News Blogaroo from Bonnaroo '09: Wrap-up Part 2
Posted By Jeff Hahne on Mon, Jun 15, 2009 at 4:29 PM
Sunday started out with a quick interview with the bluegrass/Americana trio The Lovell Sisters. Though they're young, the band has been together for five years and built a solid foundation at Merlefest. They performed at This Tent to open the day there.
A.A. Bonday had a folk set in The Other Tent while Cage the Elephant tore up That Tent in what amounted in the first of a number of metal shows there. (The Dillinger Escape Plan, High On Fire, Shadows Fall and Coheed and Cambria played later.)

I gave a quick rundown of Saturday, but here are a few more details - and then I'll get into Sunday in Part 2.
Buffett looked like a late addition, but at a press conference shortly after his performance, he said that he knew for about six months that he was likely to perform at Bonnaroo. It may have been billed as a Ilo and the Coral Reefer Allstars show, but it was basically a Buffett show - in the daytime.

OK, so, here's the situation... The Internet service here is complete crap. I'm working on another night of four hours of sleep and my frustration level is quickly growing.
I'll give a brief rundown of Saturday, but will update with a full report on Monday of the weekend's events, with photos.
I hope you understand, but if I don't - my computer will be thrown through a window or off the top of the nearest high-rise.
The day got started with Jimmy Buffett and the Coral Reefer Allstars, who kicked off their set with "Why Don't We Get Drunk and Screw."
