Tortoise
I had never listened to Tortoise prior to Bonnaroo. I’m a fan of the Sea and Cake, so I was excited to see what John McIntire’s main project had to offer. The instrumental five-piece’s genre-bending post-rock was a perfect fit for the new festival demographic. It was jamming enough to please the patchouli-friendly folk and artistic and credible enough to attract the indie crowd. But all appeasing aside, this band is insanely talented and created a variety of instrumentals that left this guy scratching his head in bewilderment. And I was sober. I can’t imagine what that bug-eyed dude next to me must have been thinking.
