ACL 2018: Residente

Saturday at 5:30 we have 3 main options: Blood Orange, Marion Hill, or Trampled by Turtles.  We caught a bit of Blood Orange at SXSW in 2013.  Did we see Marion Hill when they played ACL in 2015?  It was on Sunday at noon.  Did we see Trampled by Turtles at ACL in 2012? I need a better memory.  Needless to say, I'm not blown away by any of them so I'd be fine with whatever we decide.  The other option at 5:30 is Bazzi, a singer-songwriter that cites Justin Timberlake as an influence.  He gets this time slot thanks to his song, "Mine", that blew up on the internet.  104 Million views on Youtube.  Pass.

As for the rest of Saturday...slim pickings.  6:30 is Chvrches which is a no-brainer.  They're on opposite a techno DJ (San Holo) and metal band Disturbed.  7:30 is St. Vincent, French techno DJs Justice, and this Puerto Rican rapper that raps in Spanish. I think it's mostly dance party stuff but this song was good. 

We'll probably be tired from staying late Friday and getting up early Saturday so I'm fine leaving early.

Desencuentro
