Langerado - Music Review



so me and the family went to sunrise florida for langerado, my first weekend music festival, dorve down thursday night and got back late last. we braved it with an 8 month old in a camp site with 3000 crazy music, drug loving people and dante was great. the weather was in the 80's and humid, i finally found out the true meaning of "dirty hippies". for me, the highlights were toubab krewe and medeski martin wood. i saw taj mahal, who was groovy but doing old stuff, cat power was decent with a joplin vibe. sound tribe sector nine had something funky going on and i would love to see more of them, micheal franti and spearhead were throwing out a reggea beat with a groovy message. trey took nine songs to get the thing rolling, widespread was widespread, with a huge crowd i could not bear. lotus impressed me, tea leaf green did not, yerba buena was good but the sound guy killed them. i missed MOE which was ok and soulive which was not. avoided pepper and los lobos... i have never seen so many drugs for sale in one spot:) all in all a really groovy time, maybe not my gig again but very glad to have spent the time with the family.

i couldn't be more disappointed. cat power was with widespread. ugh.

but glad to hear you finally understand dirty hippie.

my favorite part of the dirty hippie is the SUV and trust fund that follow them.

and the micro brew.
