Coachella reveals 2019 set times
April 10, 2019 by Josh Herwitt 1 Comment
Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival //
Empire Polo Club – Indio, CA
April 12th-14th & April 19th-21st, 2019 //
It's officially Coachella week, and we all know what that means: scheduling conflicts galore.
The three-day, two-weekend music and arts festival has revealed the set times for its 20th edition just after 11 a.m. PT (11:04 a.m. to be exact), about 16 hours later than it did in 2018.
Coachellans often have some tough decisions to make as to which artists they should see, and 2019 is no different in that respect. But if you're headed to the desert this month, take a look at the set times below so you can survive all three days at the Empire Polo Club.
Tell us, though … what's your biggest conflict this year and which performance are you most excited for?
WEEKEND 1 SET TIMES
There are a few minor schedule tweaks for Weekend 2, as Big Game takes Friday's opening slot on the Outdoor Theatre at 3 p.m. for Jimbo Jenkins, who has been moved to the Sahara Tent on Saturday at 12:25 p.m. More Saturday changes include More Fire Mondays replacing Gabe Real on the Coachella Stage at 1:50 p.m., CPTN KIRK taking Fundido's spot in the Gobi Tent at 12:45 p.m. and Lealani kicking things off in the Mojave Tent rather than Yeti Out at 12 p.m. bright and early (and hot, most likely).
On Sunday, Ugly Primo will now be the first act — instead of Alf Alpha — to take the Coachella Stage at 2:15 p.m. while Subsuelo gets things started in the Mojave Tent at 1:40 p.m., replacing Ericalandia, and Cre-8 has been moved in place of R3LL in the Sahara Tent at 1:50 p.m.
UPDATE (April 18th): Christine and the Queens has canceled her Weekend 2 performance at the Outdoor Theatre, sadly due to her mother's death. Héloïse Letissier announced the news on Twitter in her native tongue of French (see below).
Je n'arrive qu'à écrire des phrases très simples. J'ai perdu ma mère dans la nuit de mardi. Je suis rentrée pour traverser cette épreuve avec mes proches – je ne pourrai pas chanter ce samedi. Je vous embrasse.
— Chris (@QueensChristine) April 18, 2019
A little more than four hours after releasing its Weekend 1 set times, Coachella unveiled this year's map and it looks fairly similar to what we saw in 2018.
One of most notable differences is the relocation of the Gobi and Sonora Tents, which have traded places with the Indio Central Market and the Antarctica dome, the latter being one of the cooler (no pun intended) experiences that the festival has introduced in the past three years. The Heineken House, meanwhile, has also moved (next to Antarctica) and sits more tucked away from Coachella's eight other stages than it ever used to be.
The Mojave Tent will continue to remain in its same location, with a few new additions to the area, including the Calvin Klein, Pantene and Peet's Cold Brew tents. Believe it or not, there's even a designated place where you can pick up your Postmates order. Ah, corporate sponsors … because what would America's most Instagrammed music festival be without them now?
Happy Coachella!

Coachella drops 2019 lineup with Childish Gambino, Tame Impala & Ariana Grande headlining 20th year
January 2, 2019 by Josh Herwitt 1 Comment
Sorry, Kanye West fans.
Hours after TMZ reported that the rapper would not perform at Coachella due to negotiations over his stage setup falling through, the renowned three-day, two-weekend music festival has announced the lineup for its 20th edition.
Headlining Goldenvoice's signature event in Indio this time around will be Childish Gambino, Tame Impala and Ariana Grande. While the first two acts had been previously rumored to top the 2019 bill with both expected to unveil new albums in the coming months, the inclusion of Grande comes as somewhat of a surprise (our guess is that she was likely tabbed to be West's replacement). All three will headline Coachella for the first time, marking the second straight year that the festival has gone in that direction, although Tame Impala have performed on the polo fields several times in the past and as recently as 2015 (on the main stage before AC/DC). And for the record, Grande, at 25 years old, will be the youngest artist ever to headline.
The rest of Coachella's 2019 roster, meanwhile, includes plenty of other household names, such as Janelle Monáe, Solange, Khalid, The 1975, Kid Cudi, Weezer, Bad Bunny, RÜFÜS DU SOL, J Balvin, Dillon Francis, BLACKPINK, Billie Eilish, CHVRCHES, Anderson .Paak & the Free Nationals, YG, Kacey Musgraves, Juice WRLD, Christine and the Queens, Playboi Carti, Ella Mai, Wiz Khalifa and H.E.R. As you can see, the focus continues to be on hip-hop, pop and R&B while straying away mostly from rock. But unlike in 2018, there seems to be more electronic music once again with Zedd, DJ Snake, Gesaffelstein, Diplo, Aphex Twin, Dillon Francis, Kaytranada, Bassnectar, Four Tet, Cirez D (aka Eric Prydz), Chris Lake, Bob Moses, Gryffin, Jon Hopkins, NGHTMRE, Gorgon City, Nina Kraviz and even 90's progressive-house duo Deep Dish receiving fairly high placement on the fest's famed poster.
Coachella's first weekend is scheduled for April 12th-14th, with its second weekend slated for April 19th-21st. All tickets will go on sale for both weekends this Friday, January 4th at 11 a.m. PT here.
Ready to party in the California desert this April? Relive our five favorite moments, whether it was Jamiroquai or Eminem, from last year's installment.
Our favorite performances from 2018
December 29, 2018 by The Bam Team Leave a Comment
Holy smokes, 2018 … you were a blur. Maybe it's just us, but this year really did fly right by.
Before we officially say hello to 2019 though, it's time for us to revisit the past 12 months at Showbams. Every year we have the great privilege of witnessing some amazing moments in live music, and this year was no different. While we can't touch upon every performance we covered in looking back at the year that was, we still managed to see a wide variety of talent over the course of 2018.

Now, it's time for The Bam Team to present our favorite performances from 2018.
Listen to The Bam Team's favorite songs of 2018:
Date: March 3rd
Location: Exposition Park – Los Angeles
For those in LA who missed Cut Copy 10 months ago when they visited the Shrine Expo Hall with De Lux, Palmbomen II and Cooper Saver also on the bill, their headlining performance last Friday at The Wiltern was another chance to dance the night away upon hearing several classics such as "Need You Now", "Free Your Mind", "Future", "Hearts on Fire" and to close, "Lights & Music". In fact, the last time that we caught them back in March, a mini downpour erupted at Shaun White's Air + Style (read our festival review here), but it didn't phase them. Who said playing — and dancing — in the rain isn't fun anyway? -Josh Herwitt, photo courtesy of Air + Style
Date: March 4th
In what was easily the most visually stimulating (and pleasing) show we witnessed at Expo Park, Ernest Greene, who performs under the moniker Washed Out, entranced a completely packed crowd at the smaller Summer Stage with a slew of trippy visuals and his chilled-out tunes. We had been wanting to see Washed Out in SoCal for several months now, ever since Greene released the project's third LP Mister Mellow last year, and after missing his gig with Nick Murphy at the Shrine Expo Hall in October, we were glad to finally hear him play "Hard to Say Goodbye" (one of our favorite songs of 2017) and "Feel It All Around" live as any loyal "Portlandia" fan would be. With Toro y Moi venturing away from the chillwave movement he helped pioneer, it's up to Greene to lead the charge, and so far, he has done one hell of a job. -Josh Herwitt, photo courtesy of Air + Style
After what we thought was an underwhelming way to wrap up Day 1, Air + Style closed with a bang thanks to Phoenix's energizing, 16-song set. The French indie-pop outfit have headlined Coachella before, and it was more than worthy of that billing for this occasion. Kicking things off with the opening track "J-Boy" from their sixth studio album Ti Amo that dropped back in June, Thomas Mars and company gave us exactly what we wanted to hear: a hit-ladden show featuring singles like "Lisztomania", "Trying to Be Cool", "Too Young" and "1901". No, there wasn't a Daft Punk or R. Kelly appearance — not that we expected one — but Phoenix put an exclamation point on an otherwise successful weekend. We may not have known the quartet could rock that hard after the last time we saw them, but we definitely do now. -Josh Herwitt, photo courtesy of Air + Style
Date: March 26th
Location: Apogee Studio – Santa Monica, CA
His guitar playing, meanwhile, may be just as impressive, if not surprising to some. Less than two weeks before Moby stepped into Bob Clearmountain's diminutive recording studio, I was fortunate enough to catch him the final of his three shows at The Echo, and it was there as he performed a variety of songs from Everything Was Beautiful, and Nothing Hurt, Play and a few other albums, that I fully realized just how talented he is with a black Gibson SG in his hands. He may be an electronic musician, but unlike a lot of them today, Moby is a musician in every sense of the word. While his vocals at times sound more like spoken word than actual singing, he has found more than capable sidekicks in Julie Mintz (keyboards, vocals) and Mindy Jones (vocals) to assist him in that department. Jones' ranging voice, in particular, is one that suits his music well, and when you hear her sing, her pipes elevate the song to a whole new level. -Josh Herwitt, photo by Brian Feinzimer
Date: April 13th
Location: Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, Weekend 1 – Indio, CA
Weeks before The War on Drugs released their fourth LP A Deeper Understanding last year, we were fortunate enough to hear Adam Granduciel and company perform a handful of cuts from the new album in an intimate setting for KCRW. It was then and there that we knew the follow-up to 2014's Lost in a Dream was another masterpiece, and that impression was only validated when A Deeper Understanding won the Grammy for "Best Rock Album" just a few months ago. On Day 1 of Coachella, the Philadelphia band brought some of those same songs we witnessed at Apogee Studio to life, though sadly, this time "Holding On" wasn't part of the setlist. But we did get to experience "An Ocean in Between the Waves" in all of its glory, and we still have yet to come across another piece of music in more recent years that will make you want to play air guitar as much as the seven-minute track from Lost in a Dream does. Who said rock was dead? -Josh Herwitt, photo courtesy of Goldenvoice
Thirteen years. That's how long it has been since Jamiroquai last performed in the U.S. With that in mind, there was no way we were going to miss Jay Kay and the rest of his sidekicks in favor of The Weeknd's headlining performance (sorry, Abel), and after what ended up being close to a 90-minute set from the London nu-funk/acid jazz group, we had no regrets about our decision. The only regret we have is that they ran out of time and didn't get to play their smash hit "Virtual Insanity" in its entirety, and you could tell Jay Kay felt bad about it as he jumped down from the stage to greet some overjoyed fans after wrapping the show up with "Love Foolosophy" from 2001's A Funk Odyssey. But while Weekend 2 attendees got the full version of the Travelling Without Moving single, we were treated to a massive surprise when Snoop Dogg came out to rap on "Dr. Buzz" with a huge blunt in his hand. It was the kind of collaboration you never expect to see, except at Coachella of all places. -Josh Herwitt, photo courtesy of Coachella
While we can't say that we were completely thrilled with Goldenvoice's choices for this year's headliners, we were excited to see Eminem finally play Coachella (he had never performed in an official capacity before) and close out the festival on Sunday night. Sure, his newest album Revival didn't exactly receive rave reviews from critics when it dropped at the end of 2017, but watching one of hip-hop's most talented emcees run through his hits all while bringing out 50 Cent and Dr. Dre was undoubtedly THE highlight from Day 3. For this "stan," just crossing Em off my concert bucket list would have been enough to send me home with a smile. Fortunately for those of us who were there though, the real Slim Shady lived up to the hype and more. -Josh Herwitt, photo courtesy of Coachella
Location: Echoplex – Los Angeles
At Echoplex, we were treated to the "rapper" and the man himself as bass-heavy party starters like the title-track opener and "Confetti" from 4eva Is a Mighty Long Time got everyone hyped, while Atlanta's T.I. came out to perform his verse on "Big Bank". After singling out one excited fan, who was wearing a shirt with a giant picture of his face, during the easygoing "1999" and paying homage to Southern rap pioneers UGK, Big K.R.I.T. took the latter half of his hour-long set to connect with the crowd. -Joseph Gray, photo by Joseph Gray
Location: The Fonda Theatre – Los Angeles
While Soulwax's recorded music has always been perfectly enjoyable, in person it becomes something else entirely. Their new, three-drummer lineup was the ideal format to hear new tracks like "Is It Always Binary" while giving older tracks such as "KracK" a newly textured and complex sound. Sitting stage right, drummer Victoria Smith, for one, offered the group some serious personality thanks to her animated facial expressions. -Zach Bourque, photo by Zach Bourque
NxWorries
Date: June 16th
Location: The Queen Mary – Long Beach, CA
I fall somewhere in the middle between those two age groups, so it was fitting that the uber-talented rapper/singer/drummer Anderson .Paak had just walked onto the "Free Your Mind" main stage when I showed up. .Paak, 32, wore a smile as expressive as his music, packaged with a bright nautical-themed ensemble. He effortlessly impressed with standouts "Suede", "Another Time" and "What More Can I Say" off Yes Lawd!, his 2016 LP with Los Angeles hip-hop producer Knxwledge as part of their collaborative project NxWorries (pronounced "No Worries"). The duo's set would eventually culminate in a playful dance-off between women, which fans showed their appreciation for before .Paak and Knxwledge said their goodbyes. -Joseph Gray, photo by Joseph Gray
However, anticipation for The Roots kept me at the main stage. It proved to be a wise decision, as their nearly hour-long performance reminded me why the Grammy-winning band is still so revered after more than three decades. Black Thought got the crowd riled up with a 10-minute barrage of lyrical proficiency that so many have come to know as his "Hot 97 Freestyle" after it hit the internet in December and quickly went viral, while his bandmates exuberantly jumped with sousaphones and guitars during "You Got Me" and a number of other hits. But providing a jolt like he only can, the one and only Busta Rhymes showed up for a quick-but-memorable performance of "Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Can See" and "Pass the Courvoisier, Part II". -Joseph Gray, photo by Joseph Gray
Date: July 16th
Location: Great American Music Hall – San Francisco
I'm far from an expert on this kind of thing (because I'm not), but I didn't expect to see the Melvins perform with the amount of energy that they showcased. For a band that has been touring and putting out new material for the past 35 years, they performed as if everything depended on it. You weren't going to catch "King Buzzo" standing in one place for too long, with his signature fro whipping in the wind from the fans that were on the stage, McDonald and Pinkus holding it down on their own instruments, and Crover beating the living hell out of his drums. Fans were ready to receive the band and responded to the various sonic blasts coming from the amplifiers. During the thrashy songs, they formed a brutal pit, and during the sludgier songs, they lit up joints and bobbed their heads to the music. -Andrew Pohl, photo by Mike Rosati
Glassjaw
Location: Observatory OC – Santa Ana, CA
Glassjaw's show covered their entire discography, and very few fan favorites were left off the setlist. While it was to be expected that newer tunes like "Shira" and "New White Extremity" would rock, it was staggering how well their older songs held up in a live setting. Palumbo's voice, though slightly less manic than it once was, is still unmatched in its vocal range and shear intensity. -Zach Bourque, photo by Zach Bourque
Location: The Forum – Inglewood, CA
That's not to say that Cuomo isn't a talented musician. In fact, quite the opposite is true. The Harvard grad shreds without question, something I never really realized until he uncorked a number of guitar solos, whether it was during "Buddy Holly" to open Weezer's performance or "Say It Ain't So" (with a snippet of Black Sabbath's "Paranoid") to put a bow on the show. And while there aren't many lead singers who can do both, Cuomo certainly remains among some elite company, with Jack White, Trey Anastasio (Phish), Jim James (My Morning Jacket) and Josh Homme (Queens of the Stone Age) also immediately coming to mind. -Josh Herwitt, photo by Josh Herwitt

There was a bit of controversy surrounding Saturday's main slot as Florence + the Machine officially made the move to full-blown festival headliner. Some festivalgoers had their own doubts after FYF Fest 2018 was canceled with a near-identical top billing, but Florence and her bandmates proved, many times over, that she is more than capable of commanding any stage as her energy is unlike many others. She debuted a brand-new show, which featured "June" in the opening slot and was book-ended by "Big God" and "Shake It Out" for a two-song encore. -Kevin Quandt, photo by Norm de Veyra
The incomparable Janelle Monáe was a tad late to take the stage, as she was fighting off a stomach bug, but when she did, she captivated the masses with a suite of tracks from her most recent release Dirty Computer and tossed in a fair amount of costume changes over a nearly hour-long set. Monáe proved that she's easily one of the best in the business at the moment and will only continue to climb upwards. -Kevin Quandt, photo by Norm de Veyra
Location: The Wiltern – Los Angeles
Fortunately, Deafheaven haven't bowed to convention or criticism. Their fourth studio album Ordinary Corrupt Human Love, which ANTI‐ released last month, is their arguably their most experimental to date, spanning more than an hour over seven songs. There's a sense of angst and nostalgia in the music that leans far more positive and hopeful than their previous work. There are still echoes of black metal at times, but you can feel this is a band that's embracing its differences instead of defending them. -Zach Bourque, photo by Zach Bourque
Location: Santa Barbara Bowl – Santa Barbara, CA
Yet, for as eclectic and wide-ranging as White's output has been over two decades, it's the unpredictable nature of his live shows that makes them so intriguing to see. This time, we were treated to a rare cover of The Stooges' "T.V. Eye" from their 1970 album Fun House, as well as a number of fan favorites, from set closer "Ball and Biscuit" to an eight-song encore that featured "Icky Thump" (with some amusing "Icky Trump" messaging), "Steady, as She Goes" (with a snippet of Richard Berry's 1955 song "Louie Louie"), and of course, what has easily become the biggest stadium anthem in the world, "Seven Nation Army". And though the show didn't conclude without a few hiccups during some of White's improvised playing between songs, he hasn't lost his unique ability to surprise an audience — whether it means bringing out his mother in Detroit to perform "Hotel Yorba" with him or covering Pearl Jam's "Daughter" in Seattle — at any given moment, especially when we all aren't staring down at our phones. -Josh Herwitt, photo courtesy of Jack White
Date: August 22nd
Location: Bill Graham Civic Auditorium – San Francisco
As the show progressed into his songs "Here" and "Lazy", Byrne's band joined him onstage. The light changed and filled in the stage, giving the audience a happier tone and providing a seamless transition into a Talking Heads interlude. Then, later on during "Blind", one of the more stunning visual elements was made possible by a simple lamp that was placed in front of the band, casting whirling shadows on the strands of beads hanging behind them. -Tim O'Shea, photo by Tim O'Shea
Date: September 20th
Location: Hollywood Palladium – Los Angeles
Right before that final aforementioned single, they brought out Phoebe Bridgers to help them perform "Sorrow" from 2010's High Violet, as Berninger and the 24-year-old singer-songwriter, who said during her brief opening set that The National were her favorite band, traded vocals on the tune they once played 105 times in a row, with the performance at an art installation in New York lasting all of six hours. We weren't quite as fortunate to get that kind of show in LA, as The National opted for one of their more traditional, two-hour events. But whether you've been a fan from the start or one like myself who arrived rather late to the party, The National continue to make some of the most compelling music in rock, expanding their fan base with each and every album they release. That's the sign of any good band these days, and though there's only a handful of others that could even say the same right now, The National should take comfort in knowing they're one of those select few. -Josh Herwitt, photo by Josh Herwitt
Date: September 23rd
Location: Hollywood Bowl – Los Angeles
Similarly, the gig also marked one of Grizzly Bear's last performances in support of their fifth LP Painted Ruins, which they released last year on RCA Records, and having already played a two-night run at The Wiltern back in December, this was more of a victory lap than a coming-out party. Unfortunately for us, the five-piece had to cut things short due to the venue's strict Sunday night curfew, ending on a rather sudden note. That's just part of the deal at the Bowl, though. For those of us who have to work on Monday morning, it's actually more of a blessing in disguise than a disservice to the overall concert experience as we've come to realize. -Josh Herwitt, photo by Josh Herwitt

When she wasn't sharing the spotlight with Waxahatchee, Barnett was sharing it equally with the rest of her stellar backing band, but it was mostly just difficult to take your eyes off of her. Everything she does feels casual, from her outfit to her guitar playing, slinging her instrument around like it was an extension of herself. Even her delivery of the wrenching reality that the 30-year-old Australian singer-songwriter articulates so well is casual, singing like the end of the world isn't a mere 22 years away. -Rochelle Shipman, photo by Rochelle Shipman
Location: Glen Helen Regional Park & Festival Grounds – San Bernardino, CA
By the time we got through security and stepped inside the gates, Manchester Orchestra had just finished their 45-minute set on the main stage, which essentially was the 65,000-person Glen Helen Amphitheater that was constructed back in 1982 for the first US Festival. Next up was Greta Van Fleet, and boy, do these kids know how to rock. Zeppelin clearly runs deep in these four Michiganders' veins, as they showcased songs off their forthcoming debut album Anthem of the Peaceful Army with frontman Josh Kiszka commanding the stage and offering his best Robert Plant impression. He even dresses the part, sporting some tight, white jeans with a water-colored blouse and necklace of feathers while his brothers Jake and Sam wore vests or shirts that looked like what you would find at a vintage clothing store. -Josh Herwitt, photo by Josh Herwitt
As the Foos left the stage for their encore break, we waited patiently for them to return. The crowd, by now, had been taken for a two-hour ride with Grohl firmly at the wheel, pumping adrenaline into our veins with every minute that passed as the Foo Fighters know how to do so well during their usual two-and-a-half-hour jaunts. The video screens on each side of the stage were black until suddenly some backstage footage appeared showing Grohl with Krist Novoselic and what looked like Joan Jett. All of that would end up coming true in the last 30 minutes of Cal Jam 18, but it was a six-song encore with Grohl on drums, Novoselic on bass, the Foo Fighters' Pat Smear on guitar and Deer Tick frontman John McAuley on both vocals and guitar as Kurt Cobain's fill-in who got us hyped. Nirvana fans have waited 25 years for a reunion since Cobain's sudden passing, and when you put it in perspective, it will probably go down as one of the year's biggest surprises, even at a time in music when many industry experts say that rock now stands in the shadows of hip-hop and EDM. -Josh Herwitt, photo by Josh Herwitt

But U.S. Girls were the highlight of the weekend for us. A nine-piece experimental pop act, they put on a stunning 45-minute set that culminated in an entrancing rendition of "Time", the closing track on their critically acclaimed studio effort In a Poem Unlimited, that lasted more than 10 minutes. The energy, instrumentation and vocal capabilities were absolutely stunning. Easily one of this year's most exciting new acts, and we can't wait to catch them again soon. -Brett Ruffenach, photo by Brendan Mansfield

Outside Lands 2018: A return to form in Year 11

Outside Lands Music and Arts Festival //
Golden Gate Park – San Francisco
August 10th-12th, 2018 //
As another summer festival season winds down, we look back at the 2018 edition of Outside Lands with highlights, thoughts, musings and enough images to make you nostalgic for the Bay Area's banner music festival. With the Superfly, Another Planet Entertainment and Starr Hill event celebrating its 11th edition, this incarnation of the annual Golden Gate Park soirée saw more of a return to form over the past year while also experiencing a notable shift in the sound that could be heard emanating through the eucalyptus and other flora.
While cancellations left a slightly sour taste in the mouths of last year's attendees, this year only saw limited lineup hiccups. However, the bigger story at hand surrounds the changing tides of popular music. Sure, you've heard folks state "rock is dead," but is a once-amusing quip starting to take greater shape as the youth clamor for a different sound and aesthetic? Though it was pretty evident on the 2018 lineup poster when it dropped in April, this query started to take greater shape once you were on the grounds and bouncing between sets. So, let's jump straight into this now.
Day 1 at Outside Lands tends to be a slow trickle of fans entering the park as some are able to play hooky, bounce from the office early or only show up for the headliners. Sure, some folks had to deal with longer-than-expected box office lines and others even had to bear the fest's new bag policies, but luckily those in attendance were blessed with some clear skies instead of the usual August dread of the Outer Lands.
While Billie Eilish was relishing in her rising appeal on the Lands End stage, covering Drake and running through the majority of her singles, Rex Orange County was trying his hand at something a bit new and terrifying. The UK wunderkind was forced to play his first-ever solo festival set as his band and their gear ran into transit issues on the way to SF from the Pacific Northwest. The young crooner seemed a bit nervous about this predicament but competently knocked out a solid, eight-song performance that included "Sunflower" and closer "Loving Is Easy".
N.E.R.D., meanwhile, played their first SF show in many years to a raucous crowd, opening with "Anti Matter" as a hyped Pharrell Williams feverishly worked every corner of the huge Lands End stage. The set featured a massive medley of tracks by The Neptunes, a cover of "Seven Nation Army" and a double dose of "Lemon" to send us on our way to the next set.
Simultaneously, Carly Rae Jepsen was apparently throwing down one of Outside Lands' most enjoyable performances in front of a rather large crowd. While the pop sensation pleased the masses with a rendition of her breakout hit "Call Me Maybe", she also performed more recent songs like "Emotion".
ODESZA obviously drew a large crowd for their main stage afternoon showcase, putting the spotlight on the changing tides and tastes of the youth music market. That kind of youthful angst and energy seemed to be danced out to ODESZA, DJ Snake and Big Gigantic compared to the pits of rock bands from the 2000's, be it Queens of the Stone Age, System of a Down or Deftones.
With the under-25 crowd predominantly stationed at Lands End, you could say there was a more intimate feeling at Twin Peaks for Father John Misty. Touting his expanded band that featured a string section and dialing back his quirky stage banter, Josh Tillman's latest tour has been pretty much about presenting his music as faithfully as he can. "Nancy From Now On" opened his career-spanning performance as the shadows began to drape the park.
While FJM's attendance was noticeably a bit small for a rock act, the king of "jizz jazz," aka Mac DeMarco, was able to attract a rowdy crowd for his closing set on the Sutro stage. When the synth sections of "On the Level" opened DeMarco's set, a certain air of relaxation swept the crowd as various smokeables were consumed in honor of indie-slacker royalty onstage.
Abel Tesfaye, popularly known as The Weeknd, enjoyed a sort of victory lap as he headlined the festival's first day with an onslaught of hits such as "Starboy", "Can't Feel My Face" and "The Hills", along with a few select covers of Future, Belly, Drake and Ty Dolla $ign. Though Tesfaye's current large-scale show is nothing new to the live music circuit, he still threw one helluva party before sending the masses into the wilds of the City.
It has been a couple of years since Outside Lands was fortunate enough to have a truly clear, sunny Saturday — and not just for a few hours, but the whole damn day. Plus, it was topped off with another insanely gorgeous sunset, but let's not jump the gun here.
As the day got underway, New York indie artist Amen Dunes performed an extremely tight set, showcasing his wavy take on psychedelic rock/folk. Led by Damon McMahon, the trio played heavy off its most recent release Freedom while also not completely ignoring its back catalog. Moreover, McMahon's stage presence was infectious and somewhat akin to R.E.M.'s Michael Stipe, as his slender build moved to the emotive nature of his craft.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, Lizzo was bringing down the early-afternoon house as she decimated the Lands End stage. "Fitness" opened her 10-song set as her pair of dancers, as well as Lizzo herself, left everything on the stage for the sizable crowd that was yearning for her energy, and some even yearned for a shot of tequila from her bottle of Patrón as she entered the photo pit for an up-close appearance during closing song "Good as Hell".
When the Lizzo crowd dispersed, Broken Social Scene fans got prime real estate to catch the Canadian indie-rock demigods perform a blistering set of guitar-heavy tunes like opener "KC Accidental" and closer "Anthems for a Seventeen Year-Old Girl". Even in such a large setting, the massive band was able to cook up a sense of intimacy and really engage.
While OSL this year leaned more toward R&B, electronic pop and other hip genres, UK jazz purveyors GoGo Penguin delivered a stunning set of avant-garde-leaning jazz. This punchy trio showed their chops over tracks like "One Percent" and set closer "Window" and could easily be compared to The Bad Plus. GoGo were a perfect palate cleanser before heading to more current stylings from either SOB X RBE or CHVRCHES.
Local legend Tycho performed to an enthusiastic crowd while Scott Hansen stated this would be the last incarnation of this phase for the group (we look forward to the next chapter). Back over at Lands End, Bon Iver delivered a prototypically powerful set as the sunlight dwindled, simultaneously providing a seriously stunning sunset.
As the limited amount of darkness fell over the park, one-third of The xx was preparing to hold court as the Sutro crowd swelled, moving their dancing feet to the new-school dance pioneer known as Jamie xx (born James Smith). Even as Jamie xx eased into his intro (The Animals' "San Francisco Nights") and more fans pushed in, it was rather evident that the Sutro's sound system wasn't able to fully reach the volume many were looking for. But an Above & Beyond nod ("Sun in Your Eyes") eventually led straight into Smith's mix of "On Hold" and all was right in the world, if only for about eight minutes.
There was a bit of controversy surrounding Saturday's main slot as Florence + the Machine officially made the move to full-blown festival headliner. Some festivalgoers had their own doubts after FYF Fest 2018 was canceled with a near-identical top billing, but Florence and her bandmates proved, many times over, that she is more than capable of commanding any stage as her energy is unlike many others. She debuted a brand-new show, which featured "June" in the opening slot and was book-ended by "Big God" and "Shake It Out" for a two-song encore.
On the final day, the weather was back on track; by that, I mean it was cold, blustery and generally moist. Most were thankful for the two previous days as opposed to three days of "Karl the Fog," as has been tradition for a good 3-4 years now.
The early afternoon of Sunday bore witness to some very lively performances from up-and-comers like Rainbow Kitten Surprise and Hobo Johnson & the Lovemakers, both of who are primed to make moves in the festival circuit over the next year if they play their cards right.
Continuing with the trend of electro-leaning acts playing to some big crowds, BØRNS fully commanded a youthful contingent with hits such as "10,000 Emerald Pools" and set closer "Electric Love".
The incomparable Janelle Monáe was a tad late to take the stage, as she was fighting off a stomach bug, but when she did, she captivated the masses with a suite of tracks from her most recent release Dirty Computer and tossed in a fair amount of costume changes over a nearly hour-long set. Monáe proved that she's easily one of the best in the business at the moment and will only continue to climb upwards.
Over at the Twin Peaks stage, The Internet was trying to hash out some sort of technical difficulties before beginning their abbreviated performance, which seemed to be a little lopsided and uneven as they did their best to deal with the 30 minutes that they had left. Fortunately, "Girl" got the majority who stuck around swaying to Syd's sultry vocals and generally chilled demeanor.
Portugal. The Man held a fleeting rock slot on the main stage, putting their quirky brand of psych-leaning pop rock on display. Moreover, they tossed in some oddly placed Pink Floyd and Beatles covers before closing with their breakthrough hit "Feel It Still".
Aussie newcomer Tash Sultana, meanwhile, was putting on a masterclass in instrumentation and looping. Sultana has really had one of the biggest breakout years in independent music, and it was clearly evident as she had a carefree stage presence backed by some truly unique, solo-delivered music ripe with psychedelic and world elements. The 23-year-old is certainly a name to watch over the next year and beyond.
As the last set of OSL artists got ready to play, James Blake brought us to church for this year's final performance on the Sutro stage, failing to disappoint while the fog grew slightly thicker in Lindley Meadow. Highlights from Blake's dreamy set were easily his take on Untold's track "Stop What You're Doing" and a semi-rare rendition of "Modern Soul".
Some say Janet Jackson couldn't pull in big crowds amid the current shifting landscape of large-scale music festivals, and although she didn't pull in record-breaking numbers on a rugged SF night, it was clearly evident that those fans who stayed to watch her were all-in. Jackson's career-spanning show touched on more than 35 songs and was accompanied by some fierce choreography and production elements. Sure, she wasn't singing much of the time, but that didn't stop a wide range of fans from showering Jackson with affection. Her closing performance was highlighted by "That's the Way Love Goes" and later on, the MJ collaboration "Scream" that transitioned into "Rhythm Nation".
As the music festival industry continues to deal with a shifting crowd and demand, Outside Lands regained its stride after a few hiccups in 2017. And while this year's lineup might not have appealed to the core demographic from its incarnation, the event still offers something for everyone.

Outside Lands 2018: Don't miss these performances

Well, another year of Outside Lands descends upon our foggy metropolis once again, packing a varied, even genre-shifting bill of up-and-coming acts across three days and a multitude of stages. And as the music festival celebrates its 11th year in Golden Gate Park, Another Planet Entertainment and Superfly continue to stack on new and exciting elements. Some changes that attendees should be in store for include a slightly updated location for the Gastromagic stage and the addition of a cannabis-centric installation, appropriately named Grass Lands. In the meanwhile, let's dig into what this event is all about … the music.
Also, don't forget to create your own schedule here.
This is ladies' night … oh, what a night
Artist: Carly Rae Jepsen
Set date/time: Friday, 5:15-6:05 p.m.
Location: Twin Peaks
The "Call Me Maybe" star has shifted her sound over the past few years, and while she has traded in some of her pop sentiment for something more akin to indie dance, she has held steadfast to her popularity. Her Outside Lands Night Show at The Independent sold out in record time, but those shut out will still be able to see her on Day 1. While we haven't seen much new music from CRJ, clamoring fans can hope to hear a new track or two.
Artist: Florence + the Machine
Set date/time: Saturday, 8:25-9:55 p.m.
Location: Lands End
It has been a long three years for Florence Welch fans as they patiently awaited the follow-up to 2015's How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful. Alas, the indie-rock queen has returned, making the jump to festival headliner with her beauty-meets-power stage presence. While Florence + the Machine might not seem like top-billing material, her live show will definitely command your attention. Plus, this set will also be a tad more special now with the cancellation of FYF, making this her first U.S. performance since the release of her fourth LP High as Hope as well as the debut of her brand-new stage setup.
Artist: Tash Sultana
Set date/time: Sunday, 6:15-7:05 p.m.
Location: Sutro
While the two aforementioned female artists have become household names over the last half decade, it's 23-year-old Tash Sultana who is poised to make the larger splash at Outside Lands in 2018. This Australian export has been turning heads in big ways for the past year or so and is on the cusp of stardom. While Sultana's true calling is the guitar, this multi-instrumentalist weaves psych-leaning rock with reggae flare through a multitude of loops. Her artistry is hard to deny and will easily pull you in on Day 3.
For the indie heads
Artist: Father John Misty
The return of Josh Tillman to Golden Gate Park took a solid six years to come to fruition, and boy how things have changed since those early Fear Fun days. Long gone are the days of LSD-slogan shirts and kitschy, from-the-pulpit rants, which he has traded in for a slick new, no-BS style that's truly refreshing. The release of his fourth studio album God's Favorite Customer in June, with its string flourishes and lush organ arrangements, has given fans a multifaceted LP to dig into as Tillman still strives to provide lyrics that are part reflection, part meta. Expect at Outside Lands a largely expanded live band, coupled with less witty banter.
Artist: Jamie xx
Even though some might claim that this year's Outside Lands lineup looks a tad homogenized on paper, there are luckily a few rare treats that make a fest vet perk up, and in 2018, Jamie xx (born James Smith) holds that title. Other banner dance names such as DJ Snake and ODESZA may pull larger crowds, but the purists will surely congregate for one-third of The xx as Smith lays down far-out selections as well as tracks from his 2015 banner release In Colour. Jamie xx live sets have become increasingly rare nowadays, so this performance will likely serve as the best jumping off point for your Day 2 closer, whether you go with Future or Florence.
Artist: James Blake
SF was treated to a handful of James Blake shows in December at the Herbst Theatre, but we'll certainly take another appearance from this UK dubstepper-gone-crooner. Some new material has trickled out over the last year with his next record on the horizon … somewhere. However, the main reason we included him in this list has more to do with location, time and vibe. With the Sutro stage hosting a more electronic lineup in 2018 (i.e. Jamie xx, Big Gigantic and Tycho) than in years past, the thought and likelihood of a thick fog rolling through GGP's eucalyptus grove as the final light dwindles gives us those sought-after music chills. If he plays "Modern Soul" though, we'll have to upgrade that status to full-blown goose pimples.
Artist: Cuco
This LA native has recently captured the attention of music lovers both young and old with his blend of jizz jazz, downtempo beats and multilingual singles. Fans of Mac DeMarco and The Internet should plan to be in attendance for this one as Omar Banos' lo-fi song crafting will unequivocally get you swaying on a Saturday afternoon at Outside Lands. Moreover, his super-fresh collaborative track titled "Drown" that he dropped with fellow heatseeker Clairo should soon send his stock flying through the roof.
Artist: Hobo Johnson & the Lovemakers
Frank Lopes, aka Hobo Johnson, arrived in 2018 out of nowhere due to the popularity of his breakout single "Peach Scone" along with its viral music video for NPR's Tiny Desk Contest. This quirky collective whips up a musical style that's unlike any other and what some might label as spoken word and/or alternative hip-hop. Sure, there's a layer of novelty to Johnson's select tracks, but he's simply lovable and so easy to root for, much like his contemporary Rex Orange County.

Outside Lands releases its 2018 schedule
July 25, 2018 by Josh Herwitt Leave a Comment
With Outside Lands just a little more than two weeks away, the three-day music festival has revealed what many fans have been waiting for since this year's lineup dropped: set times!
Check out the fest's schedule for its 11th edition here and start making your plans for which artists you'll be seeing at Golden Gate Park this August.
As usual, there are enough scheduling conflicts to sort through in 2018. Friday's action will see festivalgoers choosing between Rex Orange County/Perfume Genius, N.E.R.D./Chicano Batman/Carly Rae Jepsen, ODESZA/The Growlers/Father John Misty and The Weeknd/Mac DeMarco/Beck, while Saturday offers its own assortment of difficult decisions with Broken Social Scene, Poolside and Daniel Caesar pitted up against one another. Of course, there's also CHVRCHES vs. Big Gigantic, Bon Iver vs. Tycho and Florence + the Machine vs. Future that the masses will have to consider on Day 2.
Sunday's slate offers even more, with Janelle Monáe and LP scheduled only 15 minutes apart and The Internet on 10 minutes later. Portugal. The Man's and Tash Sultana's performances, meanwhile, are only separated by five minutes, and to close out the weekend, attendees will have to choose between Janet Jackson and DJ Snake, which presents quite a dichotomy.
Trying to decide who to see might feel a little overwhelming right now, but just remember you really can't go wrong with whatever you choose. Much like every year, there are so many good options at Outside Lands that it's not worth stressing over in the long run. Just be sure to wear a comfortable pair of shoes and download the mobile app here before you head to the park.

Outside Lands taps The Weeknd, Florence + the Machine, Janet Jackson to lead 2018 lineup
April 3, 2018 by Josh Herwitt Leave a Comment
Outside Lands is bringing some heavy hitters to Golden Gate Park this August.
The three-day music festival, which celebrated its 10th anniversary last year, has inked The Weeknd, Florence + the Machine and Janet Jackson to headline its 2018 edition, and we had good reason to believe that the latter, who was already confirmed for FYF Fest in July, would come true as early as a few days ago.
Last week, Ranger Dave started releasing lineup clues via Twitter, including one in particular that indicated Jackson would be on the bill as well as others hinting that Bon Iver, Huey Lewis and the News, Mac DeMarco, Jessie Ware, Big Gigantic, BØRNS, Rex Orange County, SOBxRBE and to get things started, Portugal. The Man, would perform.
Now, we have this year's complete roster that also boasts Future, Beck, ODESZA, DJ Snake, N.E.R.D., CHVRCHES, James Blake, Jamie xx, Illenium, Tycho, Father John Misty, Carly Rae Jepsen, Chromeo, The Internet, Gryffin, The Growlers, Tash Sultana, Broken Social Scene, Rainbow Kitten Surprise, Daniel Caesar, Perfume Genius, Goldlink, Chicano Batman, Jessie Reyez, LP, Sabrina Claudio, Margo Price, Kelela, Claptone, The Mountain Goats, Lauv, Lizzo, Whethan, Smokepurpp, Quinn XCII, Poolside, Bahamas, CUCO, Amen Dunes, Shannon and the Clams, Aquilo and many more.
The festival's culinary program, meanwhile, will continue to expand in 2018, with access to more than 200 menu items from some of the Bay Area's top restaurants that you'll be able to pair with hundreds of Northern Californian wines and beers and a collection of the region's best cocktail bars. Taste of the Bay Area, Wine Lands, Beer Lands, The Back Wine, Cocktail Magic and GastroMagic are all back as well, so there's plenty to be excited about in regard to the unique food and drink experiences that Outside Lands has to offer (and stayed tuned for the full food and drink lineup coming soon).
Moreover, adding to the overall experience will be Outsider Art, Eco Lands and The Barbary, which is named in honor of SF's Barbary Coast district and features some of the best comedy and cabaret around. The environment has long been an important cause for Outside Lands, and its organizers aren't afraid to say that after contributing more than $20 million to the SF Recreation & Park Department and rather remarkably turning 91 percent of 2017's waste into reusable, recyclable and compostable materials.
Outside Lands has delivered seven consecutive sellouts since 2011, so you won't want to wait on getting your tickets when they go on sale here this Thursday, April 5th at 10 a.m. PT. Plus, for the first time ever, the fest is offering fans the option for a three-day GA and VIP layaway plan that will allow them to pay for their passes in four installments. After last year saw an increase in ticket prices, three-day GA passes will start once again at $375 while VIP passes will be available for $795.
UPDATE (June 5th): Outside Lands has revealed its daily lineups for 2018, with The Weeknd gracing the stage Friday, Florence + the Machine playing Saturday and Janet Jackson closing down the festival Sunday. See the daily schedules below before single-day tickets go on sale for $149.50 (GA) and $345 (VIP) this Thursday, June 7th at 10 a.m. PT here.

Five emerging artists you need to hear
August 4, 2017 by Krystal Beez Leave a Comment
Get ready to discover your new favorite artist.
1. SABRINA CLAUDIO
Who: Sabrina Claudio
Origin: Miami, Florida
What she's about: Growing up in Miami, Claudio would eventually be drawn to pop-oriented contemporary R&B, similar to that of Mariah Carey. Despite only being on the scene for about two years, she's already set to be the next big thing in R&B. Last year she dropped six-song EP, which has gained millions of plays and highlights her raw talent and astounding songwriting abilities. The title track "Confidently Lost", for one, showcases the sultry vulnerability in her voice. Claudio describes the song as being inspired by her own experience being "vulnerable and lost, (but) almost like a good kind of lost." Check out the full breakdown on Genius here, and watch her latest music video release below.
File next to: Jorja Smith. Jhene Aiko. H.E.R.
Follow: Facebook. Soundcloud. Twitter. Spotify.
2. LITTLE SIMZ
Who: Simbiatu Ajikawo
Origin: London, UK
What she's about: Simbiatu Ajikawo, aka Little Simz, might not be considered an emerging artist in her native London. In fact, she was named Breakthrough Artist of the Year at BBC DJ Gilles Peterson's Worldwide Awards in 2015. However, here in the U.S., you probably haven't heard much of Little Simz. Well, get ready because you're about to. In 2016, Simz dropped the phenomenal Stillness in Wonderland on her own Age 101 label. The record contains her lucid storytelling skills and speaks to her touring lifestyle while featuring collaborations with Bibi Bourelly as well as Syd and Chronixx. Most recently, the UK native released an introspective and compelling track called "Backseat" in addition to another collaboration she worked on with Bourelly that's titled "Customz" and is a raw and unmastered gem about the highs and lows of a traveling artist. Make sure to keep an eye on Simz.
File next to: GoldLink. Kehlani. Lauryn Hill.
3. GRACE MITCHELL
Who: Grace Mitchell
Origin: Portland, Oregon
What she's about: Arriving on the scene at the tender age of 16, Mitchell first opened eyes with her R&B influenced cover of Hall & Oates' "Maneater", which was on the soundtrack for "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty". Since then, she has released two EPs with standout tracks like "NoLo" and "White Iverson", creating a sound that blends alt-pop and R&B with an air of attitude and candor — something that is truly hard to come by these days. So far this year, she has released four new songs that have me eagerly awaiting more. 2017 is going to be the year that Mitchell takes off, and if you missed her at Coachella (read our festival review here), see her perform on Friday, August 11th at Outside Lands. You can also check out her latest release below, which surely doesn't disappoint.
File next to: Verite. Anna of the North. Phoebe Ryan.
4. AMY SHARK
Who: Amy Billings
Origin: Gold Coast, Australia
What she's about: Better known by her stage name Amy Shark, Billings is an indie-pop singer-songwriter from Down Under. The Aussie has been an active musician on YouTube since 2014, but her career really took off last year with her single "Adore" (listen to it below). The song was voted at No. 2 on the Triple J Hot 100 (with Flume's "Never Be Like You" coming in at No. 1) and went double platinum. It was also remixed by Dave Sitek of TV on the Radio. Shark's personal lyrics and in-your-face chorus arm her with a uniquely emotional sound that connects and resonates with the listener — and you can't help but want to hear it again and again. Some might think that Shark is just a one-hit wonder, but "Weekends" proves that is not the case. And judging from the response of her recent performance at Australia's famous Splendour in the Grass festival, you are going to want to see her perform live when she arrives in the U.S. You've been warned.
File next to: Vera Blue. Maggie Rogers. Paramore.
5. TRANSVIOLET
Who: Sarah McTaggart, Judah McCarthy, Michael Panek and Jon Garcia
Origin: Los Angeles, California
What they're about: This foursome will satisfy all of your indie-electropop needs. Their slick debut single "Girls Your Age" made waves in 2015 and was remixed by Twin Shadow. And this year, they're back and ready to take over the world after releasing their explosive single titled "Kaleidoscopes" and featuring Reo Cragun, followed by their eponymous EP, which is full of exceptional songwriting and shimmery synths. You're going to want to get to know this band, so listen to their latest single, a brooding and delicious slice of electropop goodness, below.

Outside Lands 2016: Top sets, awards & what we overheard at Golden Gate Park

August 5th-7th, 2016 //
Celebrating its ninth annual year as Northern California's premier music, comedy, food and arts festival, Outside Lands took over Golden Gate Park last weekend and entertained crowds of more than 60,000 attendees each day with a massive roster of world-renowned talent. This year's highlights surmounted all previous editions and exceeded the expectations of the most veteran festivalgoers.
Beyond the daily artist lineups, mouth-watering fare and unparalleled comedy showcases, Outside Lands kicked it up a notch in 2016, playing to what seemed like a more refined crowd on a local and national level. The festival's organizers created an environment that appealed to both novices and seasoned attendees, with convenience being the key factor and a running theme that helped establish a flow to the fairgrounds that was unattainable in past years.
The fest also worked with PayPal to set up an option for cashless transactions by uploading "Bison Bucks" to your wristband, creating a seamless navigation of all the food/beverage and merchandise options. Furthermore, the debut of additional boutique concessions at Oyster Lands and Cocktail Lands provided a reprieve from the long lines at food trucks, booths and beer stands for the mature palette.
Even the structure and pace of this year's Outside Lands schedule felt more conducive to less park-length traversing, with each stage focusing more on specific genres and demographics. There are still certain aspects that could use improvement, such as an increased availability of trash receptacles, bathroom options and crowd control at the festival's entrance, but the issues that Outside Lands faced this year were no different or more overbearing than any other large-scale production.
Now nine years on the circuit, the Bay Area's premiere destination for festival revelers has definitely matured to an impressive standard in the live music business. As Outside Lands continues to set the bar high thanks to its innovative features, top-notch billing and overall experience, here are our favorite moments from 2016.
TOP SETS:
Headliner: LCD Soundsystem
Hip-Hop: Anderson .Paak
Pop: Grimes
Singer-Songwriter: Lana Del Rey
Rock: FOALS
EDM: Zedd
Jazz: Kamasi Washington
Experimental: Air
Breakthrough artist: Jidenna
Local act: Down and Outlaws
Heineken Dome: Warren G & E-40 (pop-up performance)
OUTSIDE LANDS 2016 AWARDS:
Biggest Crowd: Chance the Rapper
In one of the few transcendent moments of the weekend, a set that had everyone throughout the fairgrounds hyped into an anticipatory frenzy, Chance the Rapper performed at the Lands End stage on Sunday afternoon for easily the largest crowd of the entire weekend. Even those who stood their ground through Third Eye Blind's preceding set felt the drastic change in both crowd size and personal space as the Polo Fields flooded and temperatures rose. Even though Chance could have used this to his advantage and conducted an explosive show, igniting the tightly configured crowd into a combustive state, he instead took his fans "to church" with a spiritually centered gospel set, making sure everyone was attentive and of course, that "his part" resonated among the masses.
Honorable Mention: Lana Del Rey, J. Cole
Most Magical Outside Lands Moment: Dr. Teeth and The Electric Mayhem
One of the biggest questions on everyone's mind coming into Outside Lands was, "Who were Dr. Teeth and The Electric Mayhem?" For those who knew, it was, "How in the hell were the Muppets going to fill a Sunday slot on the main stage?" Because the band had never played a show of such magnitude or outside the context of a TV/film studio, no one had any clue what to expect during this early-afternoon slot. Though some festivalgoers (mistakenly) decided to forego the experience altogether, those present will not forget the incredible feat that Another Planet Entertainment and Jim Henson Enterprises were able to pull off for what was one of the most emotionally nostalgic, blissfully complex and once-in-a-lifetime festival performances maybe ever. The Muppet house band both effortlessly managed to pluck the heartstrings of multiple generations of fans while delivering the most conceptually beautiful "love letter" to the city of SF, blanketing the grounds in a sea of love and collective euphoria for a brief, yet unforgettable moment. Relive the full performance here.
Honorable Mention: Big Boi's set at Heineken Dome (pop-up performance), Jason Isabel performing with Ryan Adams
Funniest Stage Banter: Ryan Adams and The Shining
Known to be quite the comedian with his sassy stage banter and on-the-spot ad libs, Ryan Adams and his backing band, The Shining, catered to the Bay Area audience by revisiting a moment from his 2014 Hardly Strictly Bluegrass set with a rousing reprise of "3 Balloons". He not only called out his attending family's and audience members' concert etiquette faux pas, but he also mentioned his annoyance with the bass of Major Lazer's simultaneous set as well as referenced the standout beacon of this year's festival, which was hoisted up by a group of super fans watching from the crowd. Check out it here.
Honorable Mention: Dr. Teeth and The Electric Mayhem, Lionel Richie
Most Jaw-Dropping Performance: Peaches
For those familiar with the raunchy revelry that a Peaches show entails, we were front and center when the pro-sex powerhouse took the Panhandle stage on Saturday. As for novice audience members or anyone really within the general vicinity during the set, this festival performance was one that frontwoman Merrill Nisker was determined to make sure would be burned into our Outside Lands memories for life. Somewhat of a crossbreed between live sex show and avant-garde performance art, Peaches paired hard-hitting bass lines with spitfire lyrics and a stage show of elaborately X-rated costumes and choreography that left the crowd on one hand speechless and on the other frantically screaming for more.
Honorable Mention: Grimes, The Claypool Lennon Delirium
Best GastroMagic Moment: Skew It on the Bar B with Big Boi, Animal's Jon Shook & Vinny Dotolo and State Bird's Stuart Brioza
On the third and final day of Outside Lands, most attendees were camped out at their favorite stage, decompressing from the first two days of excitement and settling in to watch the final performances of the weekend. But if you happened to be one of the few wandering through the Choco Lands overpass or happened to remember Big Boi's scheduled performance at the GastroMagic stage, you were in for a treat. Those present in the intimate crowd not only got a mini set of both Outkast and solo hits from the vivacious emcee, but they also got samples of some of the most sought-after BBQ shrimp in the Bay Area while listening to remixed versions of each song that incorporated the word "shrimp" into every chorus. Hilariously ridiculous and insanely delicious, those present may never hear those songs performed the same way again. In fact, we're still giggling and singing "I like the way you shrimp" days later.
Honorable Mention: Beignets and Bounce Brunch (with Big Freedia and Brenda's Soul Food), Shark Bites (with Jauz, Mother of Pearl and Guittard Chocolate Company)
Sarah Barthel of Big Grams
Most "Thirst-Inducing" Performers of the Weekend: Big Gram's Sarah Barthel, Miguel
Worst Decisions of the Weekend: The girl who climbed the windmill during J. Cole's set and fell (watch here), deciding to bring a bag with you to the festival
Best Totems: The Red Balloon
Honorable Mention: Rick & Morty, Stranger Things Dustin
Biggest Festival Wear Trend of 2016: Hipster Bandito
Honorable Mention: Animal-themed onesies, flower crowns/bedazzled body parts
Best "Taste of the Bay" Menu Item: Bacon Bacon CA BBQ Bacon Burritos
Best Adult Beverage: Elixir's Whatamelon Cocktail
Best Non-Alcoholic Nectar of the Gods: Straw's Basil Strawberry Lemonade
Best Festival Feature: Cocktail Lands
Best Way to Waste Time Between Sets: PayPal Video Game Arcade

In America, economic inequality and racial inequality are hard to disentangle.
The huge income gap between white and black Americans is well known – but is it a function of where people are most likely to start off in life (and therefore America's low level of social mobility), or are black Americans more likely to earn less regardless of which income group they're born into?
A new study led by researchers from Stanford, Harvard and the Census Bureau presents compelling evidence that the latter is true.
"White boys who grow up rich are likely to remain that way. Black boys raised at the top, however, are more likely to become poor than to stay wealthy in their own adult households.
It's worth reiterating that last point – the 'better' the neighbourhood, the more unequal the outcomes for the children who grow up there.
According to the stunning graphics that accompany the article, black women actually do slightly better than their white counterparts.
"The disparities that remain also can't be explained by differences in cognitive ability, an argument made by people who cite racial gaps in test scores that appear for both black boys and girls. If such inherent differences existed by race, 'you've got to explain to me why these putative ability differences aren't handicapping women,' said David Grusky, a Stanford sociologist who has reviewed the research.
So is racial discrimination the main factor? If it is, then it has to be in a form that falls more heavily on black men than black women – and black men much more than most other ethnic minorities (for whom the income gap with white Americans is either narrower or non-existent).
There were a few neighbourhoods where the black-white gap in life chances is much narrower than the norm. Is this random variation or is there anything else distinctive about these areas?
"…these pockets — including parts of the Maryland suburbs of Washington, and corners of Queens and the Bronx — were the places where many lower-income black children had fathers at home. Poor black boys did well in such places, whether their own fathers were present or not.
Fathers aren't just good for their own families they can also provide boys in other families with "role models and mentors".
To me, this is further evidence for an argument that I made in another context, which is that family formation isn't just about private life, it also forms culture – and shapes life outcomes across entire communities.
Marriage is a uniquely stabilising force: are liberals finally getting the message?
To raise issues like family and fatherhood is not to dismiss the impact of racial or economic inequality on life outcomes. On the contrary, it is saying that when young people face unfairness and discrimination, they need all the help they can get – starting with what is the first and most important of all support structures.

Eni at Capalbio Libri with "On the Road"
San Donato Milanese (Milan), 06 August 2012 – Eni is partner of the sixth edition of the Capalbio Libri literary festival, held in Piazza Magenta August 1-12.
The 2012 Capalbio will host twelve evening appointments focused on a range of themes including culture, literature, current events, politics, economics and music, with discussions and debate beginning at 19:00.
Tomorrow evening's appointment will include "On the Road', a photographic volume published by Il Sole24Ore, dedicated to Eni's service stations. The book is comprised of photographs collected as part of Eni's tradition for documenting the company's history. With more than 500,000 images, Eni's photographic archive is one of the most comprehensive collections of Italy's industrial landscape.
The book is a relevant tribute to the Italian economy and uses the network of service stations, long regarded as a symbol of transit, to depict the evolution of Italy during years of economic boom. As an icon of culture on the road, service stations are a nostalgic and important place due to their role in shaping and modernizing Italy's society. Today, new multi-energy service stations have helped to evolve this symbol into one of efficiency and multi-functionality.
Tomorrow's discussion will feature Mario Pirano, Eni's manager who oversaw the establishment of the company's first service station during Italy's economic boom who then became director of the magazine L'Europeo, Daniele Protti, current director of L'Europeo and Alessandra Carini, journalist of La Repubblica.. The past and present join together once again to look toward the future.

First impressions of the Canon EOS 1DX
For years and years, I've been shooting with the same camera. A trusty and reliable Canon EOS 1D Mark II (or Mark IIN). It may have been the finest 8 megapixel camera ever made. With that being said, it was getting a little long in tooth.
Canon (and I'm sure other camera brands) only service their cameras for so long. After eight years or so, they stop manufacturing parts for and supporting "experienced" camera bodies. The 1d Mark II recently crossed that threshold.
Our cameras that were rated for 150,000 shutter actuations were all close or above 300,000. They were knocking on deaths door. Heck, my backup camera was almost at 350,000. That's a lot of pictures and a testament to the build quality of the camera.
As the cameras started to die off, it came time to replace our old but loyal companion. The Canon EOS 1DX was the rebound I needed.
Without getting into too much technical mumbo jumbo, the 1DX is lightyears ahead of that Mark II in every way. Probably the feature that I anticipated the most was the low light capabilities built into the camera.
The 1D Mark II had a native ISO range of 100-1600, expandable to 50 on the low end and 3200 on the high end. The higher ISO you use, the grainier the images look. Photojournalists often work in dark environments and push their cameras to the limit.
My 1D Mark II spent much of its life at 1600 or 3200 ISO. Earlier in April, I shot a table tennis tournament at 3200.

MAX GERSH/ROCKFORD REGISTER STAR ©2013
The camera had a tremendously difficult time focusing. This was one of the few action frames that was reasonably sharp. Due to the camera's limitations, I couldn't shoot with a high enough shutter speed to freeze the action. The above image was shot at 1/320th second exposure at f/2.8 and ISO 3200.
Fast forward to yesterday. My first night shooting with the new camera. I had a great assignment to test its capabilities. A boxing gym. One side of the building was a wall of windows letting in the evening light. The only other lighting was the overhead florescent.
The 1DX has a native ISO range of 100-51200, expandable to 50 on the low end and 204800 on the high side.
I worked the camera in a variety of scenarios and it performed flawlessly. I shot subjects front lit, back lit, side lit, not lit. Every single time, the lens instantly snapped to focus.
Just like the previous image, this next picture was shot at ISO 3200. The shutter speed was 1/500th a second and shot at f/2.8.

Notice how much sharper, richer and cleaner the image is. Every little detail pops.
The old cameras tended to be rather contrasty. Images would often have blown out highlights or shadows would sink into complete darkness. Midtones were muddy at best. The 1DX has a much better dynamic range, holding onto the shadow and highlight detail much better.
ISO 5000, 1/500th sec at f/2.8

Skin tones seem much more accurate, especially in low light situations.

The only downside with the camera can't even be considered a downside. The motor drive on the 1D Mark II drove the camera at 8.5 frames per second. That's a lot of frames. The 1DX screams past at 12 frames per second. Sure, you get the moment while shooting sports, but you also end up with a bunch of garbage frames that slow down the editing process. The camera's drive speed can easily be limited in the menu options.
I'm learning more and more about this camera every day. I'll post more of my thoughts as they come to be. However, I'll leave you with this – a goofy self portrait (if you can call it that) shot at 51,200 ISO.

Bob LaRouche says:
Max – thanks for the review and illustrations. The iso speed is totally outside my experience or belief. I guess I would believe it if I used the camera. I go all the way back to days when I used a Kodak recording film and graphic arts developer to produce grainographs at something like 3200.
And I was happy with the results – shooting jazz musicians at a jazz club. There was a sandpaper
surface of grain – but the images had a gritty, moody look.
Fight College is a good subject.
Keep in touch. — Bob
Max Gersh says:
Bob, the difference for me, going from an early 2000's model 1D to the current generation, is totally night and day. It's amazing how far technology has taken us.

What Exactly Causes A Hangover?
One of the main things that can cause a headache is not having enough water in your body. Your body can get extremely dehydrated when you drink a lot of alcohol. This is due to your body flushing your system as you drink. Your body can get extremely dehydrated when you drink a lot of alcohol. This is due to your body flushing your system as you drink. You have likely noticed that as you drink, you tend to urinate more often. This is your body flushing your system.
Therefore, if you do not replenish your body with the right kind of hydration while you are drinking and/or prior to drinking, to begin with, you are likely going to experience symptoms of dehydration the next morning. Therefore, it is directly caused by a lack of hydration. Thus, to minimize these effects, you will want to be sure to fill your body with fluids prior to drinking and while you are drinking. A good rule of thumb is to drink a glass of water every alcoholic beverage that you take in.
2. You Didn't Eat Enough.
Another big problem that comes with drinking is forgetting to eat or not eating enough. You are going to be much more likely to experience symptoms of a hangover when you do not eat enough. You want to take in enough carbohydrates while you are drinking and after you drink because your brain is not going to have enough fuel. Your body will likely be running low on fuel the morning after you drink which can lead to a headache.
Therefore, you want to replenish the quick fuel that your brain nrrfd by taking in a good carbohydrate loaded breakfast. A good way to minimize this from becoming a problem is by eating a healthy meal prior to going out drinking. Also, you could eat while you are drinking.
