a few final thoughts on Shaky Knees 2015 + more photos

I’ve already posted quick recaps of each day of Shaky Knees Music Festival last weekend in Atlanta’s Central Park, and I’ve posted some larger galleries too — Interpol, The Avett Brothers, Tame Impala, The Strokes, Mastodon. I’ve also posted about…

8 Shaky Knees acts you should have seen (but probably didn’t)

The attendance seemed pretty strong to me throughout the 3-day Shaky Knees Festival in Atlanta, and all the acts here had fairly good crowds. But more people should have turned out for all of them — a lot more. It’s…
