Summerfest
Jul. 5th, 2014 02:30 pmI caught the end of Sigmund Snopek's set. He's doing a more popular thing now, than his comedic sets of old. Had a guy singing an imitation of. Also did "Who Stole the Kishka," and some polkas, so it wasn't all bad.
Saw a rootsy rock band - some old guys in black t-shirts - called Lorenzo Menzerschmidt, who apparently included Victor DeLorenzo.
The KNE new music stage had The Black Knights, who seemed to model themselves on Guns 'N' Roses. Later on, they had Lords of Trident. They're a Madison band who sounded much like Iron Maiden, and dressed in costumes. Black robes or armor. Pretty over-the-top.
Boomer Nation, classic rock covers - Led Zeppelin, The James Gang, Cream, Mountain, etc. I sat and watched them for a while.
Saw bluesman Michael Coleman and the New Backbreakers. Old school blues, like Muddy Waters. His hollow body guitar sounded really sweet.
Caught the last couple of songs from Substitute, a Who tribute band. I would like to have heard more from them. Didn't realize they were playing.
Stop Light Observations was a wild bunch of kids. Kindof a party band. Funny, one of them wore a red cape, as did one of the guys in Lords of Trident.
Also saw Pat McCurdy, The Sweetwater Band, and the Balkun Brothers.
I don't much care for the crowds anymore, so I go in the afternoon. The bands aren't all that great early in the day, but then I can wander around and see more of them.
