Austin City Limits Music Festival is an annual three-day music festival in Austin’s Zilker Park. The Festival brings together more than 130 bands on eight stages and attracts a crowd of about 65,000 visitors each day. This is their eigth year.

This is who we saw:

Phoenix - Usually what would happen is we’d be driving and a Phoenix song would come on the iPod and one of us would say “Oh, I like this, who is it?”  And it was always Phoenix.  The Frenchies put on a solid show. 

Raphael Saadiq - Kevin loves Raphael Saadiq (from Tony! Toni! Tone!).  This is his favorite song.

K’Naan - I felt really cool because I had heard of K’Naan from Mohamed at work.  Somali born rapper, emigrated to Canada.  Raps about his life growing up.  He really engaged the crowd and was fun to watch. 

John Legend – LOVE him.

Them Crooked Vultures - Dave Grohl’s new band with Josh Homme (Queens of the Stone Age) and John Paul Jones (Led Zeppelin).

Kings of Leon - SO GOOD!  We’ve wanted to see the Tennessee brothers and cousin for awhile now.  Eddie Vedder came out and closed the show with them, singing Slow Night, So Long.  AWESOME!  *Two very random side notes*  Eddie Vedder is wearing the same shirt he wore the Monday before at the Seattle Pearl Jam concert (also an amazing show).  Later, we accidently ran into one of the fans that caught a tambourine Eddie threw into the crowd.

Another day on our feet, we were pretty beat but we had heard about this free after party at the abandoned, soon to be demolished, Austin Power Plant.  We managed to get wrist bands to get in but quickly found out the party was outside.  Only VIPs were allowed inside the power plant.  Not wanting to kick it with the all ages crowd we left to close out one of the bars on 5th, dancing the night away.
