Fruit Bats in Road Trippin' With Ice Cream Man

[ 06:22 ]

"August 22nd might seem like just another Summer day to the average person, but the people of Ashland, know better. It’s the 6th annual Ice Cream Social and for Ice Cream Man Matt Allen, it’s the time to shine! Folk rock band Fruit Bats set a beautiful soundtrack for the event.

Deer Tick and Joe Pug in Road Trippin' With Ice Cream...
When founding farther and acclaimed musician, George Wein, staged the first folk festival in Newport, he had a vision to bring established talents and fresh voices together to on one stage stage. 50 years later, he is still true to this idea with acts like Pete Seeger and Joan Baez playing along side this weeks guest performers on Road Trippin', Joe Pug and Deer Tick. Good times and good vibes in Newport's Fort Adams. song: Deer Tick "Friday XIII"; Joe Pug "Call It What You Will" Check out more videos at babelgum.com/icecreamman Check out more videos at babelgum.com/icecreamman

Atlas Sound and No Age in Road Trippin' With Ice...
ATP (All Tomorrow's Parties) Part #2, Take 2. Night Crawling around Kutsher’s, up state New York. No Age perform “Brain Burner”. We loved the recent review in the New York Times describing “Mr Randall and Mr Spunt with tendencies towards shambling concision: intentional messiness crossed with brutal efficiency.” Evident in part #2 of the hotel room session. Bradford Cox, lead singer of Deerhunter and solo artist known as Atlas Sound is about to put out his 4th record in two years (including the 2 Deerhunter records). Almost everything on this new album was recorded in one take, a perfect discipline for a performance of “Sheila” in a ATP-Special-hotel-room-Ice-Cream-Man session.

The Dodos and Fruit Bats in Road Trippin' With Ice...
What a week! One of the most beautiful in Ice Cream Man history. A staple of the Sub Pop indie music label, Fruit Bats, give us a last serenade as we wander down the west coast from Oregon to California. Anyone from this part of the country could tell you that you can't do this drive without doing two things on the way: river swimming and a wander through the redwoods. Matt does both. His 5 story rock dives can't be recommended to the faint of heart, but its sure fun to watch! Once in the bay, we met up with the ever-charming band, The Dodos for a performance that's sure to make anyone leave their heart in San Francisco. If you haven't heard this band yet, you're missing the boat . . .Check out more videos at babelgum.com/icecreamman

Avett Brothers in Road Trippin' With Ice Cream Man
Since we were (sort of) in the area we decided to hit up George Wein’s Folk Festival 50 in Newport, Rhode Island. It was the festival’s 50th year anniversary & we even got to speak to the man himself. The new song the Avett Brothers played for us really captures the vibe of the beautiful, sunny weekend. Also look out for cameos from Ben Kweller and Ramblin Jack Elliott. song: Avett Brothers "I and Love and You". Check out more videos at babelgum.com/icecreamman!

Cold War Kids and Bloodkin in Road Trippin' With...
Athen's locals Bloodkin & Madeline were well worth catching before we made the 1600 mile journey to Rothbury, MI for the annual Rothbury Festival. Now in it's second year, Rothbury is an amazing festival set in the woods. We turned up at exactly the same time as Cold War Kids, fresh off the plane from France, they dug into the box of tricks we've been collecting and performed a stunning version of "Something's Not Right With Me". Enjoy! Check out more videos at www.babelgum.com/icecreamman. song: Bloodkin: "Little Margherita", Cold War Kids "Something's Not Right With Me".

Broken Social Scene and Man Man in Road Trippin'...
Rothbury Festival, set in amongst the woods, makes for one of the more scenic festivals to catch performances from the likes of Bob Dylan and Broken Social Scene, who stopped by the truck for a creamy treat. But this weeks performance is really something special...Man Man will break your heart with this woodbound rendition of their new track "Rabbit Habits". Check out more videos at www.babelgum.com/icecreamman. song: Broken Social Scene: "Oooh Canada", Man Man "Rabbit Habits".

Daniel Johnston and Blitzen Trapper in Road Trippin'...
The summer tour wraps up at our last major festival of the year, Austin City Limits where we got a little sentimental and invited way more musicians to play than we could possibly air (if there’s any bands reading this… sorry, it only happened once). The downside of having so many artists play in or around the truck is that there wasn’t much time left to get out and see the bands that were playing. The upside was that we had a great parking space, a hundred yards or so from the Dell stage which had tons of great bands on it (Bon Iver, Felice Brothers, Andrew Bird, Dr. Dog, Grizzly Bear, Blitzen Trapper, Dirty Projectors and more) and we could listen to their sets while slinging. Daniel Johnston is the first of two legends who graced us with a rare acoustic performance of "True love will find you in the end”. Blitzen Trapper and The Henry Clay People did not disappoint, but what ever you do – don’t miss the up coming grand finale in the series...Rodriquez, Here We Go Magic, Suckers and a little ICM cathartic soul cleansing :) for more go to www.babelgum.com/icecreamman

Here We Go Magic, Rodriguez, Brett Denne and Suckers...
"Sometimes life goes to 11". It's the grand finale in the series and some of the bands we've been talking to all summer came through for us at Austin City Limits (despite the weather). The 70's folk/blues legend Rodriguez, Brett Dennen, Here We Go Magic and Suckers. Big highlight for me, giving out ice cream on stage with Preservation Hall Jazz Band at Austin City Limits. See you next summer! For more in the series go to www.babelgum.com/icecreamman

Band of Horses in Road Trippin' With Ice Cream Man
One of the best things about being backstage at the festivals is all the free BEER and ICE CREAM. This episode turned out to be a little something special.... At Lollapolooza, Band of Horses took the idea of improvising one step further and put those well earned FREE beers to work in the form of a beer-bottle orchestra for a performance of an exclusive new track, “Modelo”. Amazing. More to dig at www.babelgum.com/icecreamman

Modern Skirts and Dead Confederate in Road Trippin'...
On our way to AthFest to catch headliners Dead Confederate, we swing by Jack White's new store and HQ for Third Man Records and picked up a couple of new musical toys to add to our collection. James Husband from Of Montreal plays us a new solo track in a junk shop and Modern Skirts are the first band to actually 'play' Newt, the Ice Cream Truck. Check out more videos at www.babelgum.com/icecreamman. song: Modern Skirts "Man of the Cloth", Jamey Husband "A Grave in the Gravel", Dead Confederate "Get Off"
