For Day 2 at ACL, the rains came… and they came all day long. Not enough to cancel shows, mind you. But enough to make everything a muddy soup. The crowds, however, were still large, so Austin gets an A+ for being hardcore. Here are some of the best things I saw on Saturday.
John Vanderslice was my favorite of the day. Didn’t mind at all that I was standing in pouring rain and mud while he was playing. Amazing songs, great voice… band was so good.
Alberta Cross
Bell X1
Bon Iver – So I wasn’t in a great spot, could hardly see for the umbrellas and camera guy, but I love this song.
Deertick
John Vanderslice
The Scabs – always great. Bob Schneider is a talented dude!

I’m so glad you liked John Vanderslice! I saw him with the Mountain Goats here in D.C. several months ago. Good stuff.
