This is fine.
Have you recovered from your weekend debauchery at ACL Fest by now? I know the ATH crew has been struggling this week, but we’re ready for more shows this weekend. Now we shared with you our thoughts about Day 1 yesterday so naturally today we’ll be discussing Day two (Saturday). We’ve got some fancy photos and a few opinions on what went down. Check it out after the jump.
Weekend one of ACL is now over, so naturally it’s time to reflect on what went down during the 3 day festival. Today we’ll be focusing on Friday of the first weekend and offering our thoughts on bands that played along with the general atmosphere. Each ATH member will share their opinion and we’ll also get some fancy photos from our man B.Gray.
Follow the jump for photos and recaps.

Unless you’ve been under a rock or something, I’m sure you are aware that our annual ACL Festival is taking place this weekend in Zilker park. Now we’ve already shared a few interviews with you guys and today we’re pumping out several more. This one features up and coming indie-electro group Nightbox. Every band member gets in on this one with some great responses. Follow the jump for more.
You can almost smell it in the air can’t you? That’s right folks, ACL is just a mere week away and ATH is once again pumped for the fun and debauchery. Today I’m excited to share with you an interview I did recently with Nashville based rock band The Wans. They’re playing ACL, and we’re pumped to welcome them to town. Follow the jump for full interview.
As we’ve previously mentioned, ACL festival is only a short 2 weeks away. As we are known to do, we’ll be interviewing a whole slew of bands leading up to the weekend. Today we begin with Beat Connection. Follow the jump to see what they have to say.
It is time. Though it’s hard for me to believe, it’s time for us to start gearing up for yet another ACL Festival in October. ATH has done this thing a few times now so we feel like we’ve earned the right to offer a little bit of advice about bands to see and the proper way to go about attending. I’m jumping off our coverage today with a list of 5 bands I think you should see over the 2 weekend event. As a disclaimer, I typically recommend bands that many people either don’t know very well or write off for whatever reason. So yeah go see Spoon & The Replacements for sure, but let’s not forget about the underdogs. Let it begin after the jump.
Doing this music site, photo thing, I get to go to some cool stuff and ACL Tapings certainly top the list. Nine Inch Nails, Radiohead, Nick Cave…
The latest run-through the rules by Terry Licona was to introduce Thao the Get Down Stay Down. Back to the normal formula after the Nick Cave experiment, Thao’s set was webcast, as well. Their set from ACL was really fun. Festival band all the way, but how would it translate to the taping format? Happy to announce, quite well.
Read on for thoughts and a few pics from the night and some shots of her performance by the great Scott Newton.
I had a fun year.
I took a lot of photos. I met a lot of artists. I took some portraits. I got jumpshots. I found the interesting people in the crowd, friends and strangers alike. I rejected releases and used my cell phone (looking at you Adam Ant). I went to festivals and went elbow to elbow with besties, frenemies and national media to get you the goods. I got to shoot The Cure and New Order. I saw new great bands breaking out and great bands before breaking up. I took pics of bands for which Nathan released records. I had a fun year.
I hope you enjoy browsing and clicking. They are a collection of random things and happenings.
Head over to the big photo site, search and get a print, if you feel so inclined…
I’ll take things seen at a festival for $1000, Alex.
Weekend One of ACL was nothing but fun. Hopefully, you followed along on the intarwebs with the Twitter and Bookface. Me and the people I like a lot spent time in the sun, luckily. It was like a fest of two halves split by a cold front. Oppressing heat and humidity dominated until about 3pm on Saturday and after that, Chamber of Commerce. I will be making a #dontmovehere flag for next year just in case the stars align to give us that glorious cold front of blue skies.
I loved Wild Cub, Electric Six, Lionel Richie, Depeche Mode and The Cure. The collection of photos includes plenty of random revelers that we know as festival people. Click through for a couple extra notes and plenty of pics. See if you can find yourself…
