This past saturday, Rollins College hosted WPRK's 60th Anniversary party. The station is central Florida's oldest in basement radio, and just recently got it's license renewed after a lame FCC battle, and managed to get the funding to keep on playing the beats. So there was much cause for celebration, and some of Florida's best bands were jamming on the lawn.
Plus, Shipyard Brewery set up a keg on the lawn and we got $5 Export Ale's alllll day long.
Hundred Waters
These guys occupy a really cool space somewhere between traditional folk music and electronica. Synth-folk? They have beautiful voices and simple percussion, it's easy to get hooked. Listen to the whole album for free above.
Laney Jones
Is apparently a Rollins student, and she plays an excellent Banjo. She played at Bonaroo this year, as well.
Yip-Yip
By far the most interesting band to play the festival was Yip-Yip. I felt like I was coming down from something for their whole set- it was very confusing, but I still liked it. The duo plays a shitload of analog synths and things I couldn't identify, as well as sometimes a saxophone. I heard from an inside source that they really like pizza, which would have only sort of explained the costumes.
Beebs & Her Money Makers
I saw these guys & gal open for Galactic a few months ago and was blown away at how awesome they were. Jazz-funk-ska-dance-hip-hop that won't let you stop moving.
