2010 Basilica Block Party: Photos from Weezer and Spoon

Posted on by

The weather was perfect on Friday for an outdoor show, and I was actually fairly impressed with the crowd’s behavior (there was practically no line for beer!). I caught Grace Potter and the Nocturnals, Spoon, and Weezer, all of which put on a great act. The only bummer of the night was that for some reason, no local photographers were let into the photo pit at the last minute for Weezer. Thanks to Stacy Schwartz for letting me use her telephoto for a few shots.

OPEN EXPOSURE FEATURING TAPES ‘N TAPES, EYEDEA & ABILITIES, AND TOTAL BABE

Check out The Walker’s Open Field Event this Sunday starting at 1 PM and going all day. This event excites me more than Rock The Garden, and best of all, it’s free. Hopefully the weather will hold.

From The Walker:

Walker Open Field/Minneapolis Sculpture Garden

Soak in the sun and take in the sounds of Tapes ‘N Tapes, Eyedea & Abilities, Total Babe, and four high school bands on the Walker’s rolling hillside. This daylong festival of music brings high school musicians into the mix with established bands, rappers, and performers.

In addition to featured acts on the main stage, bring your best music mixes to trade in a mix tape exchange, create your own musical instruments in our art-making tent, and make connections or learn more about the professional arts community at the Young Artists Resource Fair. Presented by the Walker Art Center Teen Arts Council (WACTAC).
