[ATTENDED: September 30, 2023] Lizzy McAlpine

Sometime in April, my daughter asked if we could go to the All Things Go Festival.  I had never heard of this Festival and assumed the answer was no.  But then I saw that it was at the Merriweather Post Pavilion which is exactly three hours away from us.  So when tickets went on sale, I managed to get two pre-sale tickets for Sunday.  And then when they went on proper sale, I managed to score two more for Saturday.

Sunday was  the far more important day for music.  I mean, the whole reason she wanted to go was to see boygenius (and Lana Del Rey).  But this was a great day of music to be sure.

I had wanted to see Lizzy McAlpine for a while.  She was on my list of to-see bands, although I didn’t really know all that much about her music.  But when I listened to her a gain before this show I wasn’t sure if I really wanted to check her out.  I was actually a little more interested in Fletcher at the time, but I have since discovered t hat I don’t like Fletcher all that much either.

Anyway, this was our relaxing time.  So we crashed on the grass field and laid back listening to Lizzy.  Which is the exact wrong way to enjoy Lizzy McAlpine.  Her songs are quiet and intimate and demand close attention.

Casual listening is not really the way to go with her songs.  So I don’t have a lot to say about her set.  I have since enjoyed some of her songs, but I assumed she rocked a lot harder for some reason.

Before the show it seemed like a lot of people were there to hear her play, so I’m sure she had a good crowd.

I have no idea why the setlist was divided into acts.  The songs aren’t play in any recorded order, so it’s a mystery to me.

SETLIST

  1. ACT I:
  2. an ego thing ∉
  3. Over-the-Ocean Call (Andrew) ⊕
    ACT II:
  4. all my ghosts ∉
  5. firearm ∉

I didn’t know Dayglow and, in fact, I didn’t really see them at this event either.   We were near the Chrysalis Stage and were queuing for food and bathrooms while Dayglow was on.  The women’s bathroom lines were insane, so i feel like I heard most of Dayglow’s set while I sat on a bench and waited.

Dayglow is primarily indie-pop.  Cathy and infectious and pretty perfect on a warm summer day.  It would be hard not to smile while they were playing. (more…)

I had vaguely heard of Suki Waterhouse.  It wasn’t until she started playing that I looked her up and realized that she was an actress as well.  I had seen her in Detective Pikachu, but had no recollection of her.  My daughter loved the show of Daisy Jones and the Six, which is probably why she was interested in seeing Suki play.

I first heard about Sudan Archives a few years ago.  Her song “Confessions” is so catchy–with its excellent melody and her cool use of strings.  I loved that she could make catchy alt-pop using a violin as the main instrument.

Earlier this year I had a ticket to see her, but I didn’t really feel like going.  Her music changed a lot between the first and second album.

[ATTENDED: September 30, 2023] All Things Go [Day 1]

Sometime in April, my daughter asked if we could go to the All Things Go Festival.  I had never heard of this Festival and assumed the answer was no.  But then I saw that it was at the Merriweather Post Pavilion which is exactly three hours away from us.  So when tickets went on sale, I managed to get two pre-sale tickets for Sunday.  And then when they went on proper sale, I managed to score two more for Saturday.

If I had managed to get tickets to see boygenius at the Mann Center, we would have blown off this day, but that didn’t happen, so we hunkered down for our first Festival day (and her first Festival).

I was excited for the Festival too, as there were a bunch of bands that I wanted to see.  But this was a Festival for her, so I told her, that I wanted to arrive in time to see Sudan Archives and then the rest of the day was up to her.  I wanted to see Maggie Rogers and a few other bands during the day, but I’d go where she wanted.

I’ll write a separate post for each band we saw.

The Festival was set up very nicely with the Chrysalis Stage within easy walking distance from the main stage (and from the food and merch).  And there was free parking.

We arrived and, even though we had VIP entrance passes, we waited on line, not quite realizing how it worked.  Well, they sent us back to get our wristbands which allowed us quick entrance (very useful on Sunday).  These wrist bands also go us a swag bag full of weird goodies.

The rest was a Festival.  The food was overpriced, the bathrooms were inadequate, the water lines were really long.  At least it was September and not July.  The first day worked out great weather-wise as it was overcast and a little cooler.

I felt a little bad because we didn’t stop for lunch on the way down (tight schedule), so I made my daughter wait in line for food so I could see Sudan Archives.  I told her, that it was the last time that I’d make her do anything like this, and she was cool with it.

I enjoyed Sudan Archives in the sun, she sat in the shade and enjoyed the video screens. (more…)
