Show Review / Bumbershoot Bumbershoot Sunday: Passing Impressions
Posted by Eric Grandy on Mon, Sep 7, 2009 at 12:52 PM
You can't catch everything, but sometimes you catch just a drift of something as you're passing by en route to somewhere else. So, a couple passing impressions:
-Dyme Def: Big World Breaks, all decked out in Dyme Def t-shirts, were pretty impressive—guitars, two woodwinds, a three-person choir, big drums and extensive percussion—but for their first song at least, all that instrumental activity threatened to drown the MCs out.
-Common Market: Rappa ternt sanga! RA Scion, also playing with a full band, was working some old-timey, semi-vaudevillian bluesman thing, singing in an almost Waits-ish growl; I'm not sure I'm feeling at least not on 30 seconds of exposure.
-The crowd: I wondered about attendance dropping on Saturday, and predicted that Sunday's rain might clear the place, but it seemed more crowded yesterday than the day before. It still wasn't the overwhelming choke I've seen in past years, though. (And, of course, the rain looks just a touch worse today.)
