Ghostland Observatory

Posted on by

I know it’s a few days post ACL but I can’t stop thinking about this band I saw on the last night of the festival. That band was Ghostland Observatory. They were the most energetic and thrilling band aside from Bjork. I didn’t know what they would be like because I only glanced at them last year as I was passing the stage they were on. Quite honestly, I was like what the fuck was that! I thought it was a chick b/c I was so far away all I could see was a pink shirt and braided hair in “pig tail” form and I heard a very high voice. Up close this is what he looked like…

Thankfully this year they got a night time slot and were able to show off with some spectacular stage lights…

I was up towards the camera rigging and the lights were constantly blinding my camera so my shots weren’t great. I was dancing anyways because the beats were so infectious.

This performance is kind of calm compared to live shows..but you can see the energy he has in studio…it’s only say 10x’s that when he’s got the crowd he had at ACL.

16 Days..that’s all that’s left of my glorious summer!!!!

After that, it’s back to the grindstone of drive to work/ drive to workout/ drive to school/ drive home. My days will start @ 5 am and end around 11 pm. I rarely say it out loud but Texas Fucking Sucks! Nothing is actually close to each other, no decent public transportation exist, causing me to spend upwards of 2 hours or more a day on the road.

Oh well, at least Austin City Limits is coming up in September. I get to have a few days off from work and enjoy some great music. My big problem with that right now is that there are 2 days where bands are playing at the same time causing me to really have to debate who I want to see. I mean how can I choose between Arcade Fire & The White Stripes??? Both are phenomenal artists and both are said to be amazing to see live.

And speaking of concerts, next up on my schedule is Rufus Wainwright and Neko Case August 10th. Smashing Pumpkins in November..Tori Amos after that..It’s a busy concert year for me!

Well it’s about time I get back to my insanely busy job. Here’s Rufus Wainwright singing My Phone’s on Vibrate For You….
