ACL 2013: The Big Post of Good Stuff

We are wrapping up Austin City Limits 2013 coverage with this giant summary of links and a massive amount of photos not previously shared. We had a ton of coverage, from tweets galore to interviews of ATH faves. You can see plenty of pics from Weekend One. I didn’t have the fancy wristband that gets you up close and personal for big camera fun. I did have the most fun of any ACL I have ever been to thanks to a group of amazing friends I call fambly.

Take in the best of Weekend Two/Thirds by reading summaries from Team ATH featuring Nathan’s words and my photos:

Friday – Wild Nothing, Okkervil River, Queens of the Stone Age

Saturday – Parquet Courts, Junip, Haim, The Cure

Now comes the rest of the story, so many bands!

Day One – FIDLAR, Savages, Thao & The Get Down Stay Down, Smith Westerns, Pinback, Blind Boys of Alabama, Vampire Weekend, Arctic Monkeys

Day Two – Reignwolf, Portugal. The Man, Shakey Graves, Grimes, Wilco

Pics of the Swamp – Thanks to my buddy David Lachance for walking down the hill to get evidence.

Get to viewing people…

Day One

Vampy Weeks thrilled the crowd, so much jams their little heads exploded in a mess of Cape Cod. Pinback was mesmerizing. Savages, I liked, Nathan still doesn’t get the vocal with those loud noises. FIDLAR KILLED!

Day Two

Portugal. The Man is a giant festival band now. When did that happen? Reignwolf provided my only jump picture of the festival, but it is pretty epic. Shakey Graves proved you should spend a little time every fest at the little stage that could (BMI). Grimes was really concerned about putting on a good live show, dancers and walking out in front of the machines whilst still turning them knobs. Wilco is Wilco.

Flooded Happy Place

So much water.
