[...] released their debut album, yet they’ve already opened for Muse and The Killers. I caught a short set of their’s at BFD as I had been hearing such good things about them, and was intrigued but reserving full approval [...]

Two other major improvements this year to note : both crowd-related and out of anyone’s control.

1) The kids swarm this events which is always a little overwhelming. I would too if I was there age so I cannot resent them for it. Yet somehow they seemed more manageable this year. Even cute. (as in adorable, not sexy. I don’t do underage.)

I didn’t have to look far for some 12 year old gonna-be-a-rockstar-if-it-kills-me (or my parents) kid. Very entertaining. Wish I was that cool at their age.

2) Maybe I was so entranced with this year’s line-up and experience that I didn’t notice it, but there was an astonishing lack of concert goers immediately donning the bfd shirt they bought upon entrance. Well done kids! Did you read my rant from last year?

Dear Hard Rock Chick,

We’re glad you had a great time! It’s awesome that BFD is an annual part of your summer concert experience. Just wanted to mention that while we book the bands and promote the show, etc, a lot of the staging, parking stuff is handled by the Shoreline people. This is our 14th(!) BFD and we’re learning as we go … like with the side by stages… so hopefully next year will be even more fun and smooth.

And you really should have stayed for Bloc Party. A self-proclaimed hipster like yourself would have loved them!
