NOTES
Festy Fun 2010 - Telluride Bluegrass Festival - Telluride, CO Recommendations from your trusty Vags on must-see bands at this summer’s hottest festivals. The bluegrass faithful come from across the country to experience this banjo pickin’ good time. Your resident bluegrass Vagabond has got the recs on who you should check out if you were lucky enough to get a camp site. L.Sizzle says… The Carolina Chocolate Drops- as mentioned in our Bonnaroo Festy Fun post, this amazing trio learned from the best, old-time fiddler Joe Thompson. Check out the band Rolling Stone dubs “dirt-floor-dance-electricity”. The Del McCoury Band- Experience the LEGEND. Hot Rize- featuring the exceptional Bryan Sutton on guitar, this Colorado band will never dissapoint. Playing only a few times a year, this is a great chance to see one of the great bluegrass groups of the 20th century. Mumford & Sons- Hailing from London, Mumford & Sons almost sounds like a bluegrassy Dave Matthews Band. See for yourself. Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros- We’ve told you about this group before and continue to be big fans. Not exactly the quintessential band for the festival but not to be missed! Also make sure to check out Yonder Mountain String Band, Leftover Salmon, Sam Bush, and a collaboration between Bela Fleck, Edgar Meyer and Zakir Hussain. The full line up with time slots and stages is here: http://www.bluegrass.com/telluride/lineup.html Music to your ears - from mine - with love <3 L.Sizzle

Festy Fun 2010 - Bonnaroo- Manchester, TN Recommendations from your trusty Vags on must-see bands at this summer&#8217;s hottest festivals. In the first of our summer Festy Fun posts, we highlight MusicVagabond&#8217;s faves for this year&#8217;s Bonnaroo line-up. Over the year&#8217;s Bonnaroo has evolved to feature vastly different genres, varying just as much as our tastes here at MV. L.Sizzle says&#8230; check out Thievery Corporation for some Dub Reggae goodness. No matter what your state of mind, you can groove. Grab some of your favorite mind altering treats and check out Lotus, you will NOT stop dancing. The Carolina Chocolate Drops will give you that southern experience- get your Bluegrass fix!  Matt says&#8230; Here We Go Magic - Brooklyn-based band Here We Go Magic evoke a modern-day CSNY so they should fit right into the modern-day Woodstock. Listen to their song &#8220;Fangela&#8221; for a taste of what you can expect. Aziz Ansari - Though strictly falling on the comedy side of the Bonnaroo line-up, Aziz Ansari is currently working on a mixtape, so you never know what he could bust out. I&#8217;m just hoping that he continues to rip on BP. Jay says&#8230; The Entrance Band - This three piece rock and roll outfit will get you going with a blast of sonic dominance. Look out as their highly ironic, 120 lbs frontman dominates the crowd with his growling voice and shredding guitar riffs. Miike Snow - Grab your favorite pharmaceuticals and get over to see Miike Snow if you want to dance your face off. This three piece quasi electronic band has all the right stuff to keep your glowsticks and imaginary balls moving throughout the night. Jeff says&#8230; GWAR - what&#8217;s a summer music festival without a troupe of sadomasochistic chaos warriors screaming about their hatred of all things alive. go see it and be drunk. The XX - has this South London trio survived its tidal 2k9 hypewave? we think so. maybe Jamie (on the e-drums) will pull out some of his mix skills to beat up that big crowd. Also, our very own Kylie will be rockin out at the festival so get in touch with her via @shallowleak on Twitter!   Music to your ears - from ours - with love &lt;3 MusicVagabonds
