Outside Lands 2017

When dancers in LED cone hats or leafy crowns or duck-billed caps were dancing vigorously at center stage, attention was siphoned off from the sound of the music to admire the novelty of this animated eye candy.

in a light, breezy sort of way, Bleachers’ set was one of the most purely enjoyable of the day, a chance to let loose and truly have a little fun before the festival closed its gates.

Taccone brought a vivacious energy to his performance, in particular with his groovy dancing, which was perfectly in sync with his band’s easygoing style.

He had a comment for practically every single song. That is, every one except “Riptide” — nobody needed an introduction to that one.

While the band’s performance was relatively low-key, its music is energetic and electric — and live, the pure talent of the young musicians is even clearer.

It isn’t easy to approach a festival as big and daunting as Outside Lands, but The She’s tamed it and cut it down to size, to the well voiced approval of the crowd, proving that the band’s sound and style can hold their own.
