Holiday Hoot 2007 in a few words
I didn’t “cover” the KBZT’s Holiday Hoot so much as I went to hang out. But here are some tidbits on what you missed.
- Me in my coonskin cap.
- Shiny gold glitter wristbands for the drinking crowd.
- A revolving stage. Totally practical considering the large lineup and very techie cool.
- A great performance by the Kooks that was topped off by a near meltdown by their lead singer, Luke who thought the sound guy was an asshole, but wanted to make sure that we knew that he loved us.
- The mass exodus of everyone to the beer garden when Louis XIV went on.
- A stellar performance by Pinback. Rob seemed to be in a good mood and joked around about the camera showing his fat on the big screen. But my favorite of his wise-ass cracks? When he introduced “Penelope” as a new song. (Hearing it sandwiched in between “Fortress” and the set ending “A.F.K.” was awesome BTW.)
- Josh Homme telling us all that we all dance like we fuck. Um, thanks for that visual, Mr. Swivel Hips.
Oh and what about those Dave Grohl rumours? Anyone have the scoop on what happened there? Sigh. In any case, a good night and a good show made better by the company I kept and what have you.
The Kooks - Naive
