Junebug



I was scrolling through Buster's calendar of shows and came across the Cardinal Hill Junebug Festival, which looks like it will be a hell of a show. The headliner is Free Energy, whose video I posted last week, and the other acts' music genres range from electro-pop to folk. It will be fun for all.

Here is a review of Free Energy by the NY Press. It is one of the best I have read in a while.

“Free Energy is one of the best live bands in America. After Friday night’s show at Brooklyn Bowl, I’m ready to call them five of the best people in the world, hands down, and give them any accompanying awards (note to self – check if there is a Rock ‘N’ Roll Noble Prize, award to Free Energy if so), just based on the amount of joy the band brings into the world with its music. Not in a “joy to the world” way, either, but in a “Trans Am going 120 miles an hour while you’re out of your mind on whiskey and weed” way. If there is a heaven, Free Energy will be the house band.”

Check out the Lexington bases band: Englishman, who will be playing the show. They are unsigned but recently did a session at Daytrotter.
