dill vegas: rock make skreet fest

yesterday was the Rock Make street festival. free event between 17th/18th & treat in the mission district that was put on by The Bay Bridged. there was a stage on either end of the block, & vendors in between. we got to see the band Odawas. their sound can best be described as ambient folk w/ an occasional touch of electronica, & heavily drenched in reverb.

on their records they create beautiful orchestal landscapes (totes gorge) w/ layers of strings, synths, & tranquil piano parts, usually backed by a sampled drum beat. it kind of ends up resembling a pure mood soundtrack, in the best possible way. i mean who doesnt dig a lil enya, "sail away"? real talk, that sh*t is the ILLest. anyway, Odawas played a great set live as a 5 piece; they used a harmonium @ one point, & also dropped down a mandolin. it was pretty packt. pictures/video below.
