People were charging through the wading pool in front of the stage, throwing beer buckets full of water on each other, or stumbling backwards on the beach as the wall of sound hit us like a bulldozer.Įveryone stay healthy in 2022 so we can see more shows. Yes, I know every Osees show is bonkers, but you could tell they had a lot of pent-up energy from not being able to play in front of a crowd for two years. Osees closed the 2021 Psycho Music Festival’s outdoor stage on the last night of the four-night festival. #1: Osees – Psycho Music Festival – August 22nd
I heard someone in another crowd later raving about them and telling everyone he could to listen to them. It was their first gig in two years, and they came out gunning. It was my first time seeing FATW live, and the first time many in the crowd had heard them. This set stunned everyone at the Mandalay House of Blues. #2: Frankie and the Witch Fingers – Psycho Music Festival – August 22nd Everyone stopped caring about the heat and humidity, the overpriced food, and the terrible screamo bands on the lineup and started cheering, dancing, and singing. I’m not sure I saw a more delighted crowd at any show in 2021. They played a few new cuts and a lot of stuff from early in their catalogue they hadn’t played in a long while. Wayne’s Piere’s – September 29thĬlutch are always a top tier live band, and this show kept their reputation intact. The power coming across the water was stunning. Playing on a stage atop a wave pool, Ty Segall and his band put on one of the loudest, fiercest sets of the 2021 Psycho Music Festival. #5: Ty Segall – Psycho Music Festival – August 20th I hope to see more than 30 bands in 2022, but the future is now – so let’s get to it.
