I thought I arrived at Monolith too late catch Roadside Graves’ set, but was thrilled to be wrong. They were playing the smaller stage at the bottom of everything (which I nicknamed the “Inconvenient Stage”) but had assembled a good sized crowd. Everyone standing around seemed to really enjoy their set, and you can definitely count me in with that group.

MP3: Roadside Graves – Far and Wide

Roadside Graves also had the best quote about Monolith: “We’re just a bunch of drunks from New Jersey, so just being here is incredible.” Well, for a bunch of Jersey drunks (there’s another kind? yuk yuk yuk), they did a fantastic job. They borrowed some instruments from Avi Buffalo and had to use a garbage bin as a replacement snare drum. Tough going for any band, but Roadside Graves didn’t seem to miss a beat.
