McLovins Video -Gathering of the Vibes 7/31/10 -Purple Trees - Rappers Delight- Tweeprise

Purple Trees is a McLovin original from the Conundrum CD. An ode to phantasy tour and social media. With the notes of Purple Trees as the sample, drummer and lead vocalist, Jake Huffman then launches into a perfect rendition of Sugarhill Gang's Rapper's Delight which then sequed into Tweeprise.

Now, I may be biased since I know the boys but this was easily one of the best performances of Gathering of the Vibes. Before the McLovins set I marched with "Uncle Dave" Smith and a bunch of other McLovin fans in the 1000 Hippie McLovin March to get people over to the Green Vibes tent. I had told my friend Meredith of the View Skewed blog to make sure she didnt miss the McLovin's set which she had at Nateva. Meredith looked at me and said "You said they are good, but boy they are really really good"

Here is how one festival goer described Ax Lovin: Jeff Howard

... It's not that he is just technically good, he plays with a tremendous amount of soul.. He is bleeds every note up their on stage...

After watching him, I was kind of disappointed with Umphrey's McGee.
