OUT TO SEE: SILVERLAKE JUBILEE PART 2 OF 2

If you missed my Part I, click here to read about Day 1 of Silverlake Jubilee.

Sunday, Day 2

Day 2 at the Silverlake Jubilee started later than Day 1 for me. I had brunch with friends at around 1 p.m. Come around 2:30 p.m., I went home and took a 30 minute nap. I was exhausted from my Saturday activities (once again, see Part I). After my nap, I drove on down to Silverlake Jubilee, parking along Hyperion (this is actually a semi-important point).

Santa Monica Stage

Silverlake Jubilee was on a tighter schedule for day 2 versus day 1. The first band of the afternoon for me was Lilofee. They started their set with an awesome wall of sound.

Comment: “We’re so excited to play here. We’re half way from Los Angeles and half way from San Francisco.”

Noticed: Lead singer had this female claw motion.

  

  

  

  

  

Sunset Stage

Next was a brief encounter with Seasons. I only caught half their set, if that. By missing half of Seasons’ set, I realized that Silverlake Jubilee had Sunday’s schedule tightened up compared to Saturday’s.

Comment: “We’ve got to make sure we’re in tune for our last song.”

Santa Monica Stage

I caught part of Division Day’s set where I heard the lead singer doing the sound check by saying, “Potato. Potato. Potato. Banana. Banana. Banana. Elephant. Elephant. Elephant. Potato.

Noticed: Couldn’t help but notice the yellow shaker used by the drummer. I have no clue why this caught my attention, but it did.

Sunset Stage

Yes, at this point I was spinning with my constant back and forth between the two stages and had to settle down.

I stuck around the Sunset Stage to catch the Monolators’ full set. While standing near the stage, one of the band members kicked an opened Gatorade bottle. Gatorade flew towards the audience and the handful of us near the stage back paddled a couple feet. “I just wanted to add some special effects,” was the comment made afterwards.

Comment:Does anyone know what a fop tie is?(more…)
