MidPoint Music Festival

I just got back from MidPoint. http://www.mpmf.com/bands.php I'm home early I know. I went to the pre-party to hear Superdrag. http://www.superdrag.com/ What a fun band! Then I went to the Know Theatre wher the International bands are playing. As I was leaving The Exchange, Sean Rhiney, one of the founders of MidPoint, told me that one of the international bands called Vanderpark were really good and I should stay at the Know long enough to hear them. Lori and I got there before any shows started and there was a very low-key happy hour going on. Free Christian Moerlein 5th and Vine Ale. Nice! Sponsor ICB Audio was giving everyone glowing blue star necklaces to make the night even better. A little after 9:00 the first band got on stage and started playing. They were quite good. After the first song they announced "We are called Vanderpark and we're from Toronto, Ontario, Canada." Sean was right! Vanderpark is really good. http://www.vanderpark.com/ I even bought a CD on my way out and I don't usually buy CDs spur-of-the-moment.

I wish I could do a music review of these bands but I am just unable to do them justice. You'll just have to take my word for it.

Tomorrow I will be working at MidPoint all night long. I hope I get to hear some good bands.
