Grimes (currently on tour with Austra), was a hot mess. My only complaint for their show was that it was too short, clocking in at just over forty minutes. They played tracks from their excellent debut Feel It Break as well as one unreleased track. Vocalist Katie Stelmanis long with her twin back-up singers were captivating. Their blend of dark dance music and ethereal vocals was spot on. The biggest change was the Animoog Playground outdoor venue, this was a smart addition on the organizer’s part because it allowed for multiple larger acts to play at the same time.Īustra kicked off the musical part of the festival with a bang. The format and venues were primarily the same as last years but there were a couple of minor changes. I can happily say that not only did the festival meet those expectations, but exceeded them.

Based off my experience at last year’s festival, my expectations were set very high for this year. Asheville is the current home of Moog Music and the city in which Bob spent the last years of his life. Asheville North Carolina’s annual Moogfest is a three day music festival dedicated to Bob Moog and the wonderful influence that his instruments have had on electronic music.
