Festival Plan: I'm not sure if I should go see Grizfolk or Ryn Weaver.
Relevant Links:
Grizfolk at Firefly 2015 (setlist.fm)
Grizfolk (Wikipedia.org)
Pre-Festival Thoughts:
Overall, I rated the band fairly well: 7 out of 10.
However, for whatever reason, I only gave them 5 out of 10 with respect to my desire to see them.
Above Average: 'Waiting for You'
Slightly Above Average: 'Hymnals'
On the Fence: ~
Setlist:
1) Waiting for You
2) The Barrens -- the music was so loud
3) The Struggle -- livelier, hopping around, but louder
4) Vagabonds -- I decided to put in my earplugs during this song, the bass was too strong
5) Bounty On My Head -- nice, I love the bassist's enthusiasm!
-- this next song is for lovers:
6) Cosmic Angel
-- this is a Kendrick Lamar song:
7) Money Trees (Kendrick Lamar cover)
8) The Ripple -- crowd sings 'Oh oh, my my, gotta get lost to get it right' -- lead singer approaches the crowd
-- two more songs:
9) Suffragette City (David Bowie cover)
10) Hymnals
Post-Festival Thoughts:
My pre-festival ratings suggested I should either go see Grizfolk or Ryn Weaver.
However, since my friends were planning to see Grizfolk, I decided to see Grizfolk as well.
Overall, I thought they put on a good show. Furthermore, as alluded to in a comment, the bassist was animated and that sort of positive attitude always makes a show more enjoyable.
