Yep, it was a blisteringly hot day at the 80/35 Festival up in Des Moines yesterday but the Missus and I got our money's worth, seeing Atmosphere (probably the highlight of the day- had heard a lot of buzz about them from a few peeps from the Medium White North, but in person, they're awesome.) Leslie and the Lys (was sort of sitting there for 45 minutes in stunned amazement wondering what I was looking at- imagine if your Grandma decided that the pinnacle of Western culture was reached in 1985, got a skin-tight gold track suit and started a band. That's as close to defining a band that defies definition as I can come.) And finally Death Cab For Cutie- awesome to see them live though both the Missus and I harbored a sneaking suspicion they were reaching deep into their catalogue deliberately to be as emo as possible about it.
All in all, amazing day. Can't wait until they announce who's coming next year!
