The entire thing was a "music festival", which I discovered upon entry into the Bowery Ballroom. I knew there were going to be a lot of opening acts, but I never knew opening acts could get an hour set. And some of the bands were complete garbage, like Freelance Whales. Then little surprises came along, like Findlay Brown, who dressed like a Johnny Cash and performed like Ray Orbinson, he was amazing beyond words. Then finally, at around 12 AM, Midnight Juggernauts came on, played about 6 songs, and left. The hell? I waited through crappy opening acts to get to the band I wanted to see, and they were off the stage in a flash. The crew setting up was longer than the actual performance. Overall, very disappointing.
