THE HIDEOUT BLOCK PARTY

Music Review--Day Two

Looking to take the fastest route to Uncoolville? Say this at The Hideout's Block Party: "Art Brut? Who's he?"

Guess what? Art Brut is not a "he." Art Brut is a "they." Likewise, Steely Dan is not a "he," Steely Dan is a "they." It's true! Also, the singer for Art Brut is an English bloke with a wad of almost-raunchy jokes in his pocket and an easygoing charm that more than made up for his apparent and incessant need to show off his beer belly. Also, they felt like they brought England with them to the festival, so that was kinda cool. Meteorologically confusing, but cool. Also, that was a great damn time, that Art Brut show.

But who played before Art Brut? Who shook the world? WHO MAKES LIFE WORTH LIVING?

MUCCA PAZZA IS LOVE, PEOPLE, GO GET YOU SOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Apparently there were other bands besides Art Brut and the great and awesome MUCCA PAZZA, but Team Power Love was too busy taking the above amazingly-focused, really close up pictures and interviewing high-profile rocker types to see any other sets. This jet setting rock and/or roll lifestyle is BANANAS. B-A-N-A-N-A-S!

Ohmygod--look who showed up! It's the skyline! Hello, skyline!

Dude, art.
