Welcome back, friends. Thanks, as always, for watching my videos. This week's video is my behind the scenes recap video of this year's Outlandia Music Festival. Since the festival's inception in 2022, I have been fortunate enough to work as the stage manager for the two day event. So, this video will show you a little peak behind the scenes in the set up of the festival, as well as some close up video of many of the artists that performed.
Fortunately, the weather cooperated this year, and we didn't reach skin melting temperatures. All of the bands were excellent, and their accompanying crews were great to work with. My personal favorite set this year was from Buffalo Tom. I've been a fan for nearly 35 years, but had never seen the band live until now. By the way, if you are a BT fan, did you see my catalog ranking video on them: https://youtu.be/sWJFjR8UgpY?si=ZgwqLC5H1uAffmk3.
Unfortunately, Dinosaur Jr. was forced to cancel at the last minute due the death of a very close friend of J. Mascis. Buffalo Tom, Flipturn, and The Revivalists each played an extra 15 minutes to make up for the absence (to the extent it could be). While speaking to Chris Colbourn of Buffalo Tom before the show, he told me that J had planned to join Buffalo Tom onstage to play a couple of songs with them. They are old friends, and in fact, J. Mascis produced the first two Buffalo Tom albums way back in the 1900s.
Here are all the artists who performed this year: The Flaming Lips, Men I Trust, The Faint, Vacations, Twinsmith, Ex Lover, The Head and The Heart, The Revivalists, Flipturn, Buffalo Tom, Devotchka, and The Eye.
