NOTES: 
Outside of listening to a couple songs on YouTube from these guys prior to the festival, I was pretty unfamiliar with them (other than I knew it featured Jeff Ament from Pearl Jam)...but I have to say I was quite impressed with these guys.  It felt like good ol' 90's alternative mixed with just the right amount of grunge.  I guess just think of the all those early 90's bands like Jesus Lizard, Dinosaur Jr., Fitz of Depression, etc.  This was a great way to kick off the early afternoon.  And outside of an annoying whistler (how do I get stuck next to annoying members of the audience almost every time?), the recording turned out great as well.  If you like alternative, grunge, 90
s rock, and of course a fan of anything and everything Pearl Jam related, then give this a listen.

I also admit that prior to listening and tracking this recording, I had no idea Joesph Arthur was the lead singer.  Learn something new every day :)
