Fort Pierce - Hooked on Music Festival

Its all about the belts - cool kids

The city of Fort Pierce,  or perhaps it is the Marketing dept - often have events in downtown F.P - which,  to our benefit is where the City Marina resides.  Yea.

The crowd

Joe and Janet - Anna B 

He loved Robot Ears or maybe the H- Hoop Dancer...

the Jerk Concession stand

Last Saturday night there was a music festival,  a free music festival.   With it,  came rides for the kids,  concession stands, skateboard tournaments and well bands, Florida bands,   really good bands.    First we heard Mixed Culture,  a reggae band http://www.myspace.com/mixedculture32  worth a looksee.

Drummer - Robot Ears

Mixed Culture

 Second band,   was fantastic.  Two guys,  one on drums and the other,  on his computer - maybe he was on some other instrument,  but really i think it was his laptop.. have a look at the pics,  and as usual let me know what u think.    in the meantime here is their facebook page - fantastic electronics.  http://www.facebook.com/pages/Robot-Ears/175749905787551

Laptop Player - Robot Ears

The best though,  was they were introduced - as a new band,  not heard much from,  first time at the festival... blah, blah - the crowd began dispersing and was losing interest - and BAM these two guys come on and the crowd goes wild - fantastic music.   Oh and they had their own hula hoop dancer to boot -  great visual  with the sound.

She was a great addition

Hula hoop Dancer

The last band we saw,  i liked as well  -  The Nouveaux Honkies  http://www.myspace.com/thenouveauhonkies  -

Fiddler - N. Honkies

Suit jacket - N Honkies

 they were the headliner and the crowd was ready for more - especially after Robot Ears got them all riled up.

The female lead plays the fiddle, sings and is cute - the lead guitarist wears a suit jacket and somehow that impressed me, he played and sang well, which was a nice touch.

I have more to add,  like the Tiki bars that surround a parking lot, the Riverside boat yard (and the sulphur baths)  and our 'getting ready' to cross the ocean list - but will add tomorrow or the next day - stayed tuned.
