music fills the sky

Although I didn't get to see Rock the Garden I was able to hear some of it. We sat in the park, while indulging in cheap wine and heard Cloud Cults entire set. They were very good! Not surprising at all! They come from the great city of Minneapolis. Their music has been described as experimental indie rock. What I love most about this band besides the wonderful music is the way that they are so environmentally friendly! I wish I could have been able to actually see them since I know that during their performances they actually have people painting on stage! At the end of the set they auction off the painting!!! What a wonderful way to combine art with music! We didn't stay for the rest of the set list unfortunately my friend way feeling sick.... but as I walked to the liquor store later on I was surprised that when I took off my ever present headphones the air was filled with Andrew Bird. I could see the wonderful light show they set up and it was absolutely amazing to hear that so out of the blue. I completely forgot that he would be playing around that time! It brought a smile to my face to hear such a breathtaking performance just blocks from my house. I had to sit outside for a while to hear more! Breathtaking! So I'm going to try to do some more writing on here, due to boredom at work! Some post may be shorter cd reviews, but I will be trying my hardest to hit up more concerts here! Friday, the amazingly talented Dosh will be playing in Minneapolis! I am completely looking forward to that!!!

I will leave you with a search for now since I don't feel right giving links to artist music! Song to look for---- "Um, Circles and Squares" by Dosh.... let me know what you think!
