Doe Bay Festival 2010

Doe Bay

So, yeah, I'm a lazy bastard and just finally got done working on my Doe Bay Festival photos from last August.


Doe Bay Camping

I'll be honest, I could have gotten these done much, much sooner. I did work a few hours on these back in August and in October and January, and finally wrapped them up last night.


Hey Marseilles

The 2010 edition was like an slightly expanded version of 2009, which was one of my favorite concert-going experiences of my lifetime.

There were a few holdover bands from the previous year, like Hey Marseilles, the Maldives and Drew Grow and the Pastors' Wives who performed the now legendary performance in the hot and humid yoga studio to be the surprise of the festival last year.


Drew Grow

Drew Grow was on the main stage this year and was joined by Kelli Schaefer or a few songs.


Don Slack

Don Slack was back again as the MC and introduced the bands to the main stage. Some of the new bands for 2010 were:
the Fruit Bats
Fences
Black Whales
Grand Hallway
Zoe Muth and the High Rollers
Kimo Muraki
the Portland Cello Project (who told a funny story of their t-shirts modeled after the "I (heart) NY" with "I (heart) PCP")


The Maldives

This year's festival had a slightly more cohesive vibe as the community of fans and artists bonded over impromptu forest performances, carrot cake cupcakes and a makeshift slip and slide.


The Fruit Bats

If the notion of attending this year's festival is even a tingle in the back of your mind, pounce on it, and pounce on it soon. This will sell out fast.

As always, click on the photo to get transported to my Flickr page to see more.
