We chatted to the duo about Daytrotter, their album release and chocolatey legs. Enjoy!
I may or may not have lost a memory card with a few videos on it, but here are some views into last weekend’s festival:

I’m slowly uploading videos, but couldn’t help but post this one separately, because it is truly in a category of its own — Ryan Groff performing Radiohead’s “Nude” at Blues BBQ during Pygmalion’s Thursday daytime shows. It’s downright stunning. The videography a little shaky (blasted iced coffee-induced hand shakes), but take a listen:
Gorgeous, no?

There’s more than one way to tell a story. And, considering a picture is worth a thousand words, there’s a lot of photos needed to explain the fantastic madness that was Pygmalion Music Festival. If you’ve posted photos online from the fest, feel free to share a link to them in the comments section and I’ll put them up here, but for now, here’s a look through a few different lenses:

It’s clear by now that YouTube is not my friend. To upload a video, I have to upload it two or three times to the site (it always cancels at the end and doesn’t go through) and each upload takes about 45-80 minutes. So, Pygmalion videos will be floating onto the site late, but will still come in bit by bit.
Here are the vids from Thursday nights show. Hope ya dig!
