THE REPLACEMENTS Sunday, […]
True sounds of American Alternative Rock rang from Atlanta, GA on May 9-11, 2014 at the Shaky Knees Festival. With headlining acts like The Violent Femmes, The Replacements, Alabama Shakes, and The National, the event drew large crowds and made good on the ticket, but the venue had ample space, sparing attendees the typical troubles of summer festival overcrowding. The line-up even featured some of Denver’s own musical talent, including singer-songwriter Gregory Alan Isakov and Folk/Baroque Pop band Paper Bird.
After a beautiful day on Saturday, Sunday brought the rain to Byers, Co and Riot Fest. Sunday’s headliner, Blink 182 didn’t hit the stage after midnight due to a long weather delay and the mud that was caked onto everything brought out the inner Punk Rocker in everyone. Clothes were soaked with water and blood but the hardcore fans stuck it out. Rain or shine the tickets said, and many wouldn’t have traded anything for a weekend that brought acts like The Replacements, Iggy and the Stooges, Public Enemy, and Rancid to the Mile High City.
