The Weekend with The Ragbirds & Pretty Lights

In the Nest with The Ragbirds & In the Skies with Pretty Lights
This weekend was a great weekend for music in the Midwest! It all kicked off on Saturday at the Mousetrap when the Knollfest crew went to see one of our very own bands; The Ragbirds. The show was an incredibly funky musical blend filled with guitar melodies, drum beats, and beautiful lyrics sung by the band’s lead singer and violinist (among other interesting instruments), Erin Zindle.
The Ragbirds’ Upcoming Shows:
- October 30th 2009 – Casa Cantina
- October 31st, 2009 – Royal Oak Music Theatre
- November 5th, 2009 – Two Stick Sushi
The Ragbirds – Live @ The Green Room Festival 2009
On Sunday, the crew traveled just a few miles south of Indianapolis to Bloomington, Indiana, to see one of our personal favorites; Pretty Lights! As always, they brought the noise. Derek Smith (DJ), and Cory Eberhard (Live Drummer) lit up the crowd with a few fan favorites such as Hot Like Sauce, as well as a new undoubtedly smash hit version of Jay-Z’s single, Death of Auto-Tune.
The lights could have been prettier as The Bluebird could not handle their massive energy-sucking LED light show, but that didn’t matter. The dance floor was still jam-packed as fans began hopping on stage halfway through the show because just like us, they just could not get enough Pretty Lights! The crew enjoyed the company of Derek and Cory after the show (Thanks, guys!) on their tour bus.
These guys really are true professionals and energetic music heads who love to share their love for music with everyone. We highly suggest everyone in the area check them out next time they are in town; although this won’t be for awhile, as their tour is traveling across the United States to places like New York, Boston, Texas, and Florida.
If you’re in the area tonight, you can check them out in Louisville, Kentucky playing at the Headliners Music Hall. Click here to get your ticket for tonight’s show!
