post.outside.lands 2012

Outside Lands was amazing this year, but the weather was typical San Francisco, cold, foggy, and at times misty.  On the upside, the lineup this year presented bands that kept you dancing the entire set. Some of the highlights for me we're seeing up-and-coming bands such as Geographer and Animal Kingdom, and classics like Stevie Wonder and Niel Young.

A new band that started in 2008, Geographer is an American indie rock band that combines catchy beats with soothing vocals. The band itself is fairly new, and they even reminisced during their show about how they attended OSL 5 years ago to see Radiohead. They couldn't believe that they would be in the lineup of the same festival just a couple years later. I was not only impressed with their live show, but I thought that they were really humble guys who were touched by the outpouring of fans that showed up that day. One of their hits - 'Kites' was shot in downtown San Francisco, and I couldn't resist sharing.
