Saturday at ACL

Day two of ACL did not disappoint!

Dan Croll

We kicked off the day with this guy's concert. Though we'd never heard of him before, he put on a really good show with some relaxed indie rock music.  He was very humble, charismatic, and adorably British, even saying that this was the biggest crowd he'd ever played for. I'll definitely be looking into his music.

Haim

Despite the horrifically unforgiving heat, these girls totally blew us away. We'd heard a little bit of their music before and thought it would be fun to just pop in and see how they were. Little did we know what a good show that we were in for. From their stage presence, to their great playing, to their unique music, to their style and "take it or leave it" personalities that shone through, we would definitely go see them again and have already listened to their brand new album, Days are Gone, twice.

Portugal: The Man

Ok, we only half watched this one - we were eating lunch and nearly dozing off towards the back at the same time. But from what we could tell, they were pretty good.  Their songs all sounded exactly the same, but it was nice to relax to and have as background music.

Kings of Leon

Amazing. Like Muse, you have to go see them yourself to really understand. But they were fantastic players and performers. Their music was really fun to dance to and there were a lot of hardcore fans shouting along to every song.  All in all, it was a great way to end our weekend.
