While you were digging out all your wooly sweaters this weekend, a whole lot of stuff was happening in the world of live music. Here are some highlights.
Mac DeMarco jumped out of a cake at Brooklyn venue Baby's All Right
Actually, to be perfectly accurate, Mac DeMarco jumped out of a cake, then threw the cake into the crowd, then crowdsurfed after it while Connan Mockasin and Perfect Pussy's Meredith Graves crowdsurfed after it and the audience took off their clothes. The venue was celebrating its first birthday.
The Foo Fighters played the venue where Dave Grohl saw his first show
Back in 1982, 13-year-old Dave Grohl went to visit his aunt and uncle in Evanston, Ill. While he was there, his older cousin Tracy took him into Chicago to his first show, Naked Raygun at the Cubby Bear. More than three decades later, Grohl went back to Cubby Bear with the Foo Fighters, to play the small club as part of their new HBO show Sonic Highways. Ragyun frontman Jeff Pezzati was among the artists who joined the band onstage.
Here's the quote from festival organizer John Giddings:
"We're not building headliners anymore. Nobody can invest in building a band over five albums. And if boring acts like Ed Sheeran are the future then we're all screwed!"
He later told NME he was being "tongue in cheek."
