Nelsonville Music Festival

Cincinnati's The Hiders were the first electric band to put the Porch Stage sound system through its paces yesterday. Here's the final song from their set.

Reigning Sound reigned supreme at the Porch Stage for the hearty folks who waited out the rain.

Old Light opened the main stage on Thursday and returned for a second time on the porch stage yesterday. Their music is a psyched-out mix of styles.

The Nelsonville Music festival is in full swing. Thursday night offered up some of Athens' finest local acts, including Hex Net, Unmonumental, D-Rays, and the Makebelieves.

Headliners Gogol Bordello killed it. I don't have any pictures from their set, but trust me. They set the stage on fire. Jeff Tweedy should just turned the bus around right now and head back to Chicago, for Gogol Bordello will not be topped.

Nelsonville Pro Tip #1: If you actually want to sleep, request Family Camping when you pull into the campsite. Our campsite rules and it even has wifi.
