The Duke Spirit was great at the New American Music Union. Unfortunately, we had to blow out of there after the third song in order to get back for the Saturday press conference (which I still have video from). However, enjoy this rendition of “Dog Roses” from their set.

Check it out. Racounteurs, The Roots, The Black Keys and more…

I also have some shaky handheld video shot from the pit that I’m going to post very soon. But for now, look at the professionally shot good stuff.

Also, my review of the New American Music Union has been submitted to Blender. I’ll post the link when they put it up.

Festival curator Anthony Kiedis from the Red Hot Chili Peppers, NASA and The Black Keys… slightly boomy audio but it’s all there. Enjoy.

Here’s a couple of shots from the Tiny Masters of Today set.

The card reader I brought won’t read my SD video card so I can’t dump the video I shot until I get home. I’m sorting through my photos, the best of which I’ll give to Blender for the festival review but I’ll post the rest here. Definitely got some good stuff from the pit. 

This one’s from the press conference shot with my real camera. I like it because Anthony Kiedis looks like he wants to jump off the stage and punch me in the throat.

Well I’m here at LAX, about to catch the red eye to Pittsburgh so I can moonlight as a journalist covering the New American Music Union music festival featuring Bob Dylan, Spoon and a bunch of other bands I can’t remember because I’m so exhausted.

Stay tuned to this blog because I’ll be updating it from the show.

Wish me luck…
