Drove from Atlanta to Raleigh (the new Portland) yesterday for Day One of the Hopscotch Music Festival. More details to follow, but here are the bands that I saw and heard:
TOON & THE REAL LAWW
Local, Raleigh hip-hop crew with good lyrical flow and some pretty funny lines, none of which I can remember this morning.
DE LA SOUL
Iconic, hip-hop legends from Long Island performing in Richmond City Plaza.
SUN CLUB
At the Lincoln Theater, this young, energetic band played party music not dissimilar to Louisiana's Givers.
AMERICAN AQUARIUM
Alt-country from nationally-recognized Raleigh band.
WHITE LACES
Psychedelic "ambient dream punk" from Richmond, Virginia. Bonus points for the Boston Celtics t-shirt.
THE WAR ON DRUGS
The pride of Philadelphia played loud and played long, not wrapping up their set until well after 2 am.
