Every year The Hideout, a local venue that usually one has +21 shows, has it's all ages Block Party. Last year it happened to be called the Touch and Go festival because Touch and Go Records sponsored it and I think all Touch and Go bands played including the amazing Ted Leo and the Pharmacists. The festival is usually two days and has two stages that alternate performances. It's a good time.I was quite happy with this year's line-up. Due to traffic and poor planning on my part, I did miss a few acts I would have liked to see, but I caught all the bands I truly wanted to see. The line-up for the first day was as follows:
Bloc Party
The 1900s
The Changes
Scotland Yard Gospel Choir
The Cinematics
The Cinematics
I had hoped to see the Cinematics, but I got there late, so I missed them. I caught the end of The Changes set and I wasn't impressed. I then hung out in the back for the 1900s because I hadn't really heard anything by them before. They were ok, but still not really anything special. Finally, Bloc Party came on and put on a decent show. I quite adore Bloc Party, but their live show was just ok. I would see them again if they come to town, but for some reason they just didn't quite meet my high expectations.
After all the acts finished up, there was this puppet show-esk thing going on out of the back of a truck next to one of the stages. I later found out it was called Scary Toesy Theatre (I may have botched the spelling). Quite honestly, they only way to have enjoyed it was if you were on drugs. It made absolutely no sense, however it was hard to look away because it was just so odd. All in all, the first day was a little bit of a let down. The second day, however, made up for it...
