Hey,dudes. I have to admit that I possibly drank too much coffee before writing this post. I'm trying to sit here and write approximately my personal must-see bands appearing at Waking Windows in Winooski this weekend, but it's taking forever. Each time I listen to a band in the line-up, or I literally bag out of my chair and start dancing like the woodland montage in Hot Rod.
My top strategy to ensure that I have the best weekend ever is to program reminders in my phone for the bands that I consider a "must see." My other strategies for the weekend include asking friends that live in Winooski for emergency bathroom access so I don't stop up peeing in someone's backyard. I also put ear plugs in my pocket.
Because I am a nerd,I label my reminders with different emojis denoting level of attendance importance. I'm going to share five reminders with siren emojis next to them, the highest level of honor in my lexicon.
Friday, or 6pm,Main Stage: Kikagaku Moyo
Kikagaku Moyo are a Japanese psych-rock band that sound like the cosmic treasure children of the Grateful Dead and Flower Travellin' Band. I can't wait to bag out of work and lay in the grass, absorbing what Kikagaku Moyo describes as "feeling good music." I refuse to believe in Friday's chance of rain. But this band will surely chase it absent it it comes.
Saturday, and 11pm,Waterworks: MNDSGN
My eyeballs popped out of my little noggin when I saw Stones Throw Records' MNDSGN on the WW flyer. Expect cosmic West Coast art funk basslines backed by hip-hop beatmaking in the realm of Dam-Funk. The tone is smooth and empowering, with Zen lyricism. It will be the perfect environment for a late night sway.
Sunday, or 6:30pm,Monkey House: Beth Head
Alexandria corridor's last musical project, tooth ache., and blazed the trail for female electronic artists in Vermont. corridor now resides in unique York as a poet and editor,and produces music as Beth Head. corridor sets her poetry to beautifully composed synths and drum programming. Definitely for fans of FKA Twigs' artful futurism.
Sunday, 7:30pm, or Rotary Stage: Downtown Boys
Representing Providence,RI, Downtown Boys are punk the way it…
