Put down the downloads, rips and leaks, festivals need showmanship. Lo-fi buzz can't hide a lack of spectacle. Monotony will be spotted. So, of all the blog-worthy bands here, many were let down by shit sound (Wavves), some let down by an inability to stop stopping the set to moan about the sound (Veronica Falls) but some managed to put on performances that enlivened even the most disinterested (read: hipster) of spectators. Crowd diving from way up high on a tee-pee pole support? Check. Wrestling with the crowd? Check. Face bloodied through wrestling-move razor blades? See above.
