KXT Summer Cut: An Ecelctic Fun Fest

The Flaming Lips

Friday night publicly funded station KXT 91.7 pulled together an eclectic group of musicians for the first annual Happy Funtime Fest. Two stages, 9 bands and a few food trucks turned the Gexa Energy Pavilion into a mini festival. Thanks to the fabulous peeps here at GoodBAMMSho not only was I on hand to soak in all the tunes, but I had the incredible opportunity to play photog for a night in the press pit! 

Playing on the main stage were Telegraph Canyon, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Fitz & The Tantrums, St. Vincent, and headliners The Flaming Lips. A small area by the concessions was carved out for Walk Off The Earth, Quiet Corral, Smile Smile and Air Review on the second stage.

Bowling Green, KY people... who knows what I'm talking about?  Ok, forget I asked. Point being the guys from Morning Teleportation know a thing or seven about said Kentucky Home considering that's where it all began for Travis Goodwin, Tres Cocker (great name!) and Paul Wilkerson who ran into Tiger Merritt by way of Chicago who was attending college in BG.
This group of dudes have been around the country and back, lived in crazy places like Oregon (no idea?) and even played Letterman last year just to give you an idea of how they roll.
Cage the Elephant (another BG band) actually convinced/suggested the guys should take the next step into a pro career as musicians, according to past articles.
