As warm weather fades away, Dance Your Face Off! has been seeking shelter at the indoor shows around New England. The month of October gave Massachusetts a solid variety of music offerings, spread out to venues all across the state. We covered a reggae rock show headlined by Passafire, Chadwick Stokes (of Dispatch and State Radio) who brought a mix of classic and new songs to his show, and a rock/metal event headlined by Clutch.
It was a busy and productive last few months here at www.danceyourfaceoff.com (DYFO!). In our second summer of operation, we were fortunate enough to cover many magnificent shows and festivals throughout the country.
The ball got rolling in April when we traveled to Myrtle Beach for the California Roots Carolina Sessions. The star-studded lineup featured reggae acts including The Movement, Fortunate Youth, Passafire, and Stick Figure, with headliners Soja and 311. As great as the festival was, there was a bit of disruption throughout that was quite an annoyance; Soja’s Jacob Hemphill had to call out the security team (attendees referred to them as SWAT) for hauling off ‘potheads’ left and right and causing commotion. The festival organizers have since acknowledged this, and have vowed to loosen things up for next year. We look forward to that and to attending again.
