94/7 Birthday Bash // Portland, OR
To celebrate 21 years as Portland’s go-to alternative radio station, 94/7 threw its second annual “Birthday Bash,” this time extending the party over two days. As per 94/7 style, each lineup was stacked with both well-established bands, such as Young the Giant and AWOLNATION, and up-and-comers, like Chef’Special and Coleman Hell. Not only did the radio station produce a killer lineup, but they made drastic improvements on last year’s 20th birthday bash. A misting tent was set up as a sanctuary from the 90+ degree weather, as well as a water-refill station, a large area to lay blankets down, and two jumbo screens on either side of the stage so everyone could see. Highlights of the fest included the long awaited return to Portland of Young the Giant, Coleman Hell’s incredibly energetic start to day 2 despite the blazing heat, Robert Delong’s dazzling one-man show, and AWOLNATION’s strong finish to the unforgettable weekend. If this is what 94/7 did for their 21st birthday, I can’t wait to see what happens next year when they’re feelin’ 22.

Governors Ball Music Festival 2015 // NYC
Music Festivals in NYC have historically been a flop, sometimes even cancelled before they have a chance to flop. Poor weather conditions, low ticket sales, lack of wide open spaces to handle the crowds are all contributing factors.
Fortunately Governors Ball Music Festival on NYC’s Randall’s Island is one festival that seems to have survived, and thrived against all odds (we will not soon forget Mud Ball 2013). Not only has it thrived, but it was even voted “Festival of Year” by Consequence of Sound in 2014.
I spent three great days on Randall Island to cover Governors Ball for Impose Magazine this year, and here are some of the best things I saw at Gov Ball 2015!
