#SHAKYKNEES

They were amazing in Atlanta a month ago. Gave all the other much younger bands at #ShakyKnees a run for their money.

And they skipped Satisfaction :-)

I think this picture sums it up. It's always such a blast and a blur but magnificent nonetheless. See y'all next year. #ShakyKnees

Franz Ferdinand at #ShakyKnees in Atlanta. Alex talked a LOT but nailed all the classics too.

Is there any reason why there's no Miller Lite in VIP???
Why would I pay extra money for NOTHING!

I dressed on theme of who I was most excited to see each day -

Joey Valence & Brae 😈
My Chemical Romance 💔
Blink 182 👽

Schedule | Shaky Knees Festival

Day 1 of #ShakyKnees in Atlanta was fun. Very well run. www.shakykneesfestival.com/schedule

Spoon were excellent, as was Lenny Kravitz.

Pixes were very good, but for me there were too many slow draggy songs.

Sound quality on the above was first rate.

Deftones? Muddy & distorted. I left, sorry.
