Soon after I got there, The Paint Movement took stage. They had a very cool dance party vibe, but still of the indie variety. Gotta love the abundance of reverb on the guitars & vocals, it added to the spacey keyboard as well as having a rockin' Sax player. They were lots of fun, I didn't get very good pics/video of them but I found something online of them playing a show in Ontario, cool stuff!
The other band I got to check out on night 1 of HPX was One Hundred Dollars. A mix of folk, alt country, rockabilly & a little bit of a Fleetwood Mac thing going on. I don't think I've ever danced to a good country shuffle like that night. I say that as a good thing as I'm not big on country but this was pretty interesting, story teller kinda music that still rocked.
And that was the first night! A decent start to HPX, 4 more days of fun to follow.
