The audience was obviously shocked by that at first, but I think most people appreciated the fact that MS MR added their own, unique spin to an indie favorite. True to their style, they kept the entire song mellow and ominous. What was surprising about MS MR’s cover, however, was their take on those transitions. One of the most memorable moments of MS MR’s set was their cover of LCD Soundsystem’s “Dance Yrself Clean.” Now, this song is famous for its sudden transitions from barely audible to explosively upbeat. Waning applause from the previous show faded into MS MR’s dark wave rendition of Arctic Monkeys’ “Do I Wanna Know?” They also played “Dark Doo Wop” and other favorites from Secondhand Rapture. They wowed the crowd and made everyone dance, all the while paying tribute to their southern roots with a bluesy, twang-laden tune or two.Īfter hearing Secondhand Rapture, MS MR’s debut album, I was pretty excited to see the band perform live, and they met all my expectations.
They were really fun to watch, as they gave a really energetic performance. Thao & The Get Down Stay Down is a jammin’ indie-folk band originally from Virginia, now based in San Francisco. This was the first band I saw at Bonnaroo. It’ll seriously change your life.) It’s the combination of all of these things that forms the enjoyable, wild, and totally unique experience that is Bonnaroo.Īll ramblings aside, here is a breakdown of some of my favorite shows from my weekend down on “The Farm.” (side note: speaking of food, for anyone planning to attend Bonnaroo in the future, you have to try an Amish doughnut. Bonnaroo, like any other music festival, isn’t just about the music there are other factors that add to the overall experience: the festivalgoers, the campsites, the food, etc. If you’ve never been to Bonnaroo, you may be wondering what makes it so special, what distinguishes it from all the other summer music festivals. Well first of all, I’ll say when I set out for Bonnaroo on Wednesday night, I knew it’d be a great time, but I had no idea that after I got back home on Sunday, I’d be thinking I had the best weekend of my life. As I wrote this post, I had a difficult time formulating the proper words to describe my experience.
