Farmfest was a fun way to spend a Saturday. The venue/farm was nice, not too many people, adequate and clean bathrooms, and good music. I caught Whoarfrost (fast crazy drumming, with timing, but good), the Rez (not great), the Slow Jerks (not good at all, and due to the fact that they were supposed to be the Morning After Girls replacement, not a good switch. I can think of tons of local bands which would have been better), Lazlo Lee and the Motherless Children (fun set, good boogie rock), the Flying Eyes (one of my favorites, the only thing was their music didn?t really seem to warrant a mosh pit, but that didn?t stop everyone from slamming around almost every song), the Vandelles (I listened to this from my tent, the music was easily my favorite of the night and I want to see them play at a club now, I think the open air setting killed the potential of what should have been monstrous guitars), and An Albatross (what the hell? Some of the craziest music I have had the pleasure/misfortune to listen to. I listened to this one in my tent also, and it was truly a weird set. They had insanely fast drumming, saxophones, so guy seeming to randomly screaming, and other interesting musical moments). All in all it was a fun, non corporate rock fest. Setting it on a farm in the middle of no where and having no vendors and camping right in front of the stage contributed to a truly unique festival experience for me. I also got to meet and hang with Jaguar, which was very cool. And hang with Double Daggers drummer's mom. The only drawback of the night was deciding to ?camp?. The other campers kept me up all night, from the end of music around 2:30 to when I tore the tent down and left at 5:30. I would have been much better off just leaving before they closed the parking lot off from leaving at 2:00/
