Spring Scream

Every year, there is a big music festival in the south of Taiwan called Spring Scream. I played at it last year and it was awesome. This year I was lucky enough to play at it again - this time in two different bands. It was also a four day weekend because of a holiday. It was great to get out of the big city.

This is a shot of Militant Hippi. We are kind of hip-hop, reggae, and funk with a bit of blues and rock.

We played early (around 5:00PM) but there was a good crowd there.

One of our songs requires back up singers. There's Lindsay in the middle.
The Militant Hippi girls before the show. Also note the cabin. The festival was held on this resort with three hundred cabins. There were six stages. Even a pool, though I never went swimming. That's our cabin right there.
The third day of the festival, the other band I'm in played. We are called Faye and the Slacks. Faye is a singer-songwriter. She's great. She has her own cd and everything.This shot was taken early. Before it started raining.
There was a good sized crowd for this show too and they stayed for the entire set, dancing in the pouring rain. I must admit, that feels pretty good as a musician. If people stay in the rain to listen to you, you must sound alright.
This was taken the night of the Militant Hippi show. Perhaps very late at night.

Thoroughly intrigued by the wonderful contradiction of 'militant' and 'hippie'
BTW, when are you gonna get that book published?
