Solillaquists Of Sound pretty much blew the crowd away before Michael Franti & Spearhead began their set. The Orlando, Fla. quartet got the crowd roaring with their opening slot by sound manipulator DiVinci simultaneously playing three beat machines. He played two with his hands and one with his face, and used the latter to pump out most of...

By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) September 9, 2008 1:48 pm
There's arguably no one who's more of a musical chameleon than Michael Franti. He and his band Spearhead have played everything from rock and folk to hip-hop and reggae.

I'm typing the majority of this review back at my campsite — as Michael Franti & Spearhead play the last few songs of their set. There's a pocket of two-and-a-half hours between Franti and The Flaming Lips' midnight performance in which the only band playing is Kings Of Leon. And while I mean no disrespect to the Kings, after you've seen them...
