On a weekend in June in the year 2011, a group of friends put on a three day music festival in the city of Chicago, and we filmed it all. Behold, the Fearsome and Mammoth PRFBBQ2011 Video Playlist which contains all 179 songs that were performed over the 3 day event running a little over 12 hours of music.
If you don’t want to watch it all in order, head on over to youtube and select RANDOM for the playlist queue. It is highly recommended.
The Blind Shake explode live at The Observatory in Chicago, IL as part of the PRFBBQ2011. For more info on the band, please visit https://theblindshake.com/ and purchase everything they have ever recorded, you will not be disappointed.
The Infrasonics perform live at The Observatory in Chicago, IL as part of the PRFBBQ2011. With an absent Matt Engstrom, Steve and I ordered a couple of cheap Russian laborers from a catalog, and forced them to learn every song from the PRF Songwriting Challenge. Vladimir and Igor, who were formerly Soviet Officers for the Russian Navy on a 941 Akula Typhoon Class submarine in Lake Chany near Novoyablonovka, Novosibirskaya oblast, Russian Federation, took quickly to these, the songs of the PRF. They were fed porridge and mp3’s and were only allowed to leave the studio to go to the туалет and the хомяк магазине. They did well and are now currently back home melting down old aluminum submarine parts to make instruments from.
In this set are awesome songs by 2207, Max Benson and PEPPER! For more info on the band, and to go where the music sounds nothing like this, please visit https://theinfrasonics.bandcamp.com/.
Here are the most popular videos for 2011, based on views in 2011. There are some obvious videos that I noticed that were shared amongst friends, some that got embedded in blogs and venues websites, and some that surprised even me! I hope you enjoy.
