On The Scene at Langerado

• Matisyahu in reference to his apparently impromptu Disco Biscuits sit-in: “My friends and I walked over to the Disco Biscuits set and I just felt the fire. The music sounded so good I just wanted to rock it. I made my way up to the front and asked to sit-in. It was a magical moment, the band was on fire and I was on fire. It was super cool.” 
• Los Lobos’ David Hidalgo and Taj Mahal pointing at each other when asked what band they most wanted to see
• A guy was trying to motivate a group of his friends to see Explosions In The Sky. His friends just weren’t having it: “Oh, you are gonna see Panic? Sweet, I’m sure you’ve never seen them before. God forbid you actually see a new band.”
• Two girls were walking by the balcony of a nearby hotel when they spotted a guy and his girl drinking beers on the second floor. The girls asked if they could come up and have a beer, to which the kind couple obliged. Then one of the girls asked the couple “You aren’t gonna rape us are you?” It was pretty weird to see one woman tell another, “No it’s cool, we aren’t gonna rape you.” Langerado: No rape!
• O.A.R. after finishing its set: “Thanks guys, and we’ll see you over at Panic’s set.”
• “Oh, you missed their set? Just go to OINK and download their album, they suck live anyways.”
• Chris Harford of Band of Changes strolling the grounds
• Biscuits’ bassist Marc Brownstein getting lots of smiles and high fives as he rode around the park on a golf cart
• Taj Mahal watching the Toots and the Maytals set
• Trevor Garrod of Tea Leaf Green with a permagrin at the Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks show (Ace had one, too)
• “Don’t ever hit a bowl someone passes you at a Biscuits show”
• Jeff Lloyd of the Heavy Pets making the most of his opportunity by seeing multiple bands throughout the day on Sunday
• Jeff Coffin discussing the Flecktones recent Grammy win: “Being able to do what we do for a living is enough, but getting that kind of recognition is icing on the cake.”

As Ace mentioned, we still have plenty of stories, reviews, and interviews to come from our weekend at Langerado. Hopefully you saw our kickass T-shirts at the festie. Thanks to our friend Ginz for our new tag line: “My Band Can Beat Up Your Band.” If you saw the shirt, you saw us. We saw you.
