The crowd nearly doubled when Los Angeles-based Abe Vigoda took the stage at the Levi’s/Fader Fort concert, but any fans of the self-described “tropical punk band” know that the band puts out the kind of stage energy that draws attention from even the casual observer. Their energy was a welcome late-afternoon relief and a good pick me up for a crowd loaded with free Southern Comfort and Budweiser. While the band’s music did not leave a memorable impression, listening now to studio performances it’s clear why Abe Vigoda has built such a strong following. There’s a lot more depth to the music apparent in the studio than was accessible to a first-impression look at their live performance. Im definitely intrigued.

Chopin and Òlafur Arnalds aren’t even really worth a comparison. Their music is nothing alike.

There was definitely a guy surfing in a wheelchair. I tried to capture it with my camera, but it was a total blur. He came over the barricade 3 times. The first time, he came over AFTER his wheelchair.
