Band of Horses at Midpoint Music Festival

Band of Horses played a long set of their best songs at Midpoint Music Festival this year. Midpoint showcased about 60 bands in three days and the Band of Horses set on night three stood out. Upon seeing them at Bonnaroo and Forecastle this year, this show at Midpoint really rocked. The crowd seemed very eager for them to go on and play all of their best tracks from all of their albums, including the new lp Why Are You OK? The band delivered.

Midpoint Music Festival 2013

Midpoint Music Festival is the Midwest's version of the SXSW Music Fest held in Austin. The festival features several large acts and several small acts of different genres, all lumped into one great weekend of music. On the bill this year were national acts such as Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, The Head and the Heart, The Breeders, Cody Chesnutt, Shuggie Ottis, Daughter, Leogun, Larry and His Flask, The Thermals, Kurt Vile and many more. Some of my favorite local acts were The Harlequins, Wussy, Tweens, Cliftones, and OH Knife.
