Friday at Comfest, 2009

By teamtim

FridayThese are my highlights for Friday. Click on the image for full size (uh, “that’s what she said”). Details and links to the bands after the jump.

Ryan Smith
Noon, Gazebo stage
Start your Comfest with the guy who used to hold my hair back in college.

Wing & Tusk
3:20, Offramp stage
You should have seen Josh and Nat at the last Pecha Kucha talking about the band. The epic story of Toadflax Tea, if nothing else, is thought-provoking.

Grafton
5:20, Offramp stage
Hard-nosed, whiskey-swilling rock.

Church of the Red Museum
6:10, Offramp stage
“As musicially deft as it is emotionally draining, the cabaret sound is a huge leap from the typical indie-rock known to pour from Columbus.” –John Ross, Columbus Alive.

Brainbow
7:00, Offramp stage
Columbus music veterans come together for progrock bliss.

This is my Suitcase
7:00, Bozo stage
Stuck around for their set because of a cute girl on keyboards (not in the band anymore), but what really turned me on was the catchy pop.

Nick Tolford
7:50, Offramp stage
Soul that makes you sweat.

Doctah X
9:20, Live Arts stage
I assume this’ll be a DJ set, and if it is, you won’t be able to prevent your head from bopping

Two Cow Garage
10:10, Bozo stage
The best classic-rock-meets-roots-punk in all of CBUS.

The rest of the weekend will be posted tomorrow and the next. Bands I overlooked? Leave them in the comments.
