ACL Week 1 Day 1

Hole In The Wall

Hickoids were second to last on a bill loaded with ass-kickers. With Purple Stickpin, The Hares, Wreckless Eric and The Sons of Hercules it's pretty much a guarantee to be a near explosive night. Add the Hickoids and .... 

We started our set rockin with "Stop It" and we kept the pace up throughout the fortyish minutes we were on stage. No slow stuff, just a bunch of good and punchy rock and roll. We also played a world better than we did Wednesday night, most likely because we went on at midnight. A starting time way more appropriate for us. 

The crowd wasn't just along for the ride, they were pushing it! It wasn't the orgy of free love we've had during the ACL's of the past, it was more of a "I'll jump if you jump" vibe. Not an adversarial thing it was a friendly "do you dare?" We dared, they jumped and the beer went flying. It was a shit ton of fun.

The Sons played after and they brought their usual glory. It cracks me up every time I see Frank spit into his hand and fling it out at the crowd. So fucking funny. 

Day two is at the Lost Well tonight.
