We’re into the top 20! So, without further ado…
#20: Gong Gong Gong at Chicago’s Hideout – A lot of people were curious about Gong Gong Gong and how two dudes from Beijing could create such a weird, interesting sound. It turned out to be one of the wildest post-punk sets I saw all year.
#19: Prettiest Eyes at Levitation France – This trio put on one of the wildest sets of the entire festival. Just when you thought they couldn’t get crazier, they did.
#18: Oktober Lieber at Levitation France – This electro duo was louder and heavier than I expected and a great surprise at the festival.
#17: Shopping at Chicago’s Beat Kitchen – The first show I saw in 2018 was one of the best. Three post-punk Brits playing jumpy, skittering rock and having a great time with everyone.
#16: Ron Gallo at Levitation Austin – Ron Gallo and his mates were the first band we saw at the 2018 Levitation Austin festival, and we couldn’t have asked for a better opener. Rocking, funny, and just not quite giving a damn what you thought, they put on a great set.
The top 15 are coming your way tomorrow!
Keep your mind open.
