Music to Our Ears

Music to Our Ears

Over the last few months, we’ve had Atomicdusters skip out early on Fridays to go off and enjoy music festivals in far off cities like Chicago and Tennessee, so imagine our relief when we found out the next big music festival would be right here in our own hometown. 

On August 28th and 29th, several Atomicdust employees spent the weekend in Forest Park at the inaugural LouFest Music Festival. The festival featured eighteen bands on two stages and included both local and national acts. A few Atomicdust favorites were Broken Social Scene, Fruit Bats, She and Him, and Jeff Tweedy (who is pictured here). 

Besides music, Loufest had food, ice cold beverages, and local vendors touting everything from CDs and T-shirts to wireless data plans. And while the official gear may have been blue and orange, this festival was as green as it gets- with water and recycling stations, valet parking for bikes, and an EcoZone featuring local organizations committed to conservation, recycling, and clean energy.

And one of our own, Jason Stoff- designer by day, concert photographer by night- had the pleasure of documenting the event. You can see his images on Flickr and read more about the festival over at the Riverfront Times.

Thanks Loufest. You gave some of our employees a great weekend of live music, and allowed them to hold on to one of their coveted vacation days.
