Dispatch Form TasteFest - Day Two - July 5th, 2007

And it was Epic by any other word

and i do mean that, if you where there you know about, if you where not there you made be kicking yourself big time today, seeing the Epic of all show at cityfest and the crowd it was something to believe, But it will get to that as the post go along.

Day two was a little bit early un-Like day one the only hick-up was house sitting duties and the Weather there was a T-Storms for the Wayne until 4:45 pm, the New Center only got rain and the really bad stuff was west of us so so it did not get bad of so i thought.

So i did not see the first band i want to see the all female band hellen, but there drummer Emily told me they did not go on at 3 P.M. because of the rough weather and worst after the rain did pass there did played there set but they were on a tight Schualeh there set was really, Really short.

the 1st band i saw was the Fondas who played a very good set for a for a early crowd and not only that i get to enjoy the raven hair Lead girl of the the band Juile Benjmen, since the other stage did not get on going un 6 PM i was stuck on the park stage and for the second time i saw the fairly brand new band called "Serenity Court", The ferndale base is made up of Ex-Outrageous Cherry Drummer Carey Gustafson, Her sister Emily, and Annette Walowicz, and since there was on a bigger stage they have seven birds on stage[The member of Serenity Court and Four other Musician who was dress up as Birds].

They were very good with there Minimalist Lyrical style and with the dress up birds that was a nice kick, I left earil so i can just the see a Scrummage match from the Detroit Derby Girls Who have there Championship Game in about two weeks so the did a half speed[remember there were on the Concert parking lot] demo for all crowd to see and a roller Nijia who works the a bar down the street from the Fisher gave me a bummer sticker.

so my next stop was the park stage to see the one of the many side project Eddie Baranek "Shotgun Wedding" it was a very good and very mellow set of mostly country music and it was also the chanced to rest my feet after walking for mosty of the day so i relax on the park and near of the end of it set there was a mighting wind that blew over the whole city fest area with Napkin and paper Filing around the corner of Second and West Grand now the wind was strong enough to blow some fo the sings and shut down a few booths, but i did now rain as the Gray clouds Move East of the New Center.

so after getting out of Danger, I head back to the Pure Detroit Stage to see everybody fave under the radar band "The Hentechmen" which was real good as they as they play dispute the wind picking up after that i was taking a shortcut in side the fisher building ducking fans of "High School Musical: The Show playing at the Fisher Theater and making a stop by to the norther light Lounge, i Did see the local rock band the "Thunderbird Are Now" i saw there last four songs of there set and there was really, really good in all there zaniest, even one of the Member of the band took one of the Hula-Hoops from the punk rock Fitness as part of there act.

It did get a good side crowd at the park stage, but the main stage was something to believe a Hugh side crowd wittiness a Epic show by the one and only "Wired Al" Yankovic as he play a nearly two hours show and it have "Wired Al" Playing all the pardey hit you can Muster and yes there was a lot of costume changes during the long set mix with light and bubbles and Crazy video on the big Screen as he play all the songs form his long history of mocking all the big his and Dressing up a p-Diddy, Emmem, Kurt Cobain, A Jedi masters singing and yes Michael Jackson.

during his long costume changes, The big Screen played all his old clips from his varor tv gig and his old show Al T.V. , and some made just for this show including a really, really Funny interview with K-Fed tell him he is a no-Talent Hack, Brilliant, now most of the people i talk to thought the show was fantastic, i Called it a Huge Epic and not only that it was the biggest crowd i have ever seen for a main Stage show in a long, long time, I was Awesome.

So after the festival area close i went to the Northern Light Lounge to see a post show gig from from the one and only Esquire back up by his long-time DJ Dviant and his back -up dancer Korie and Shelby as they push for Linda Lovelace for Perdesent.

Tomorrow at Cityfest - Day three with music from SSM,carjack., The Sanit Peaches,The Syeens,The Siren and The Detroit Cobras and the best part yet i get a haircut yeah!
