Bonnaroo 2009: Progging Out with The Decemberists, Mars Volta

By Julia Askenase on 1:47 PM on June 14, 2009

Still royally tuckered out from some late-night Girl Talkin', day three at Bonnaroo was pretty mellow for me. I spent most of it catching the tunes at the Sonic Stage (Brett Dennen, Grace Potter, Heartless Bastards, etc.) where the lovely Paste oasis is stationed. In early evening, I caught a solid half hour of Athens, Ga. kooks, Of Montreal, who absolutely won me over. As soon as I return from Manchester, I plan on listening to their songs that have been sullenly sitting on my iPod, just waiting to be loved. ...  read more

By Christina Hansen on 11:11 AM on February 13, 2008
