Alicia Lyman gives you minute by minute coverage of the Anti Pop Music Festival in downtown Orlando
Summerbirds In The Cellar
After the way last night went and the way Saturday night (the last of the festival) I decided to have Amber bring her camera and that we'd split up the coverage just in case any stage times were off. So that meant that'd she'd have to write too. She was pretty nervous about the whole thing but I knew that she could do it. So a lot of what you'll be reading is from her perspective, and trust me...I've put this poor girl through enough over the last year of documenting festivals and big marathon concerts that I knew she could handle it. Here's what she had to say:
SUMMERBIRDS IN THE CELLAR
Before I even get started, I want to apologize for my writing. I am no where near as good as Alicia so you will have to bear with me. Now that I have that off my chest, here goes nothing…
Anxiously making my way up Orange Avenue toward Firestone, I was hoping that the band I was about to shoot would stir me up and get me energized for the rest of my night. Upon entering Firestone and taking note of the significantly large crowd, I began to worry about my chances making it up to the stage. Much to my surprise the fans of Summerbirds in the Cellar allowed me to make my way to the front of the stage to get my job done. So if you were at the show, thank you.
Once the guitar reverberated through the venue and the drums and bass kicked in, I knew that tonight was going to be much better than last night was for me (don’t get me started on last night). Summerbirds in the Cellar’s indie/elecronic sound was soothing to my ears. While most melodious bands usually turn out to be less than energetic, that was not the case for these guys. Don’t get me wrong they didn’t jump around the stage like mad-men, but they exuberated a certain energy that helped me make it through the walk back down Orange Ave. I’m definitely going to try to catch these guys again when they perform at Backbooth next month.
