An hour of emo for your summer listening, curated for you by DJ Punky
Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month was created to celebrate the history and culture of United States citizens of Asian and the Pacific Islander descent. AAPI individuals have greatly contributed to the growth and history of the United States and it is essential that these contributions are acknowledged and celebrated. According to the Federal Asian Pacific American Council, the 2022 theme for AAPI Heritage Month is “Advancing Leaders Through Collaboration.” AAPI Heritage Month helps to encourage diversity, equity, and inclusion of all AAPI people.
In my life, I have been to four music festivals. I attended one day of Music Midtown in 2014, one day of Shaky Knees in 2019, and the full weekend of Shaky Knees in 2021 and 2022. This year’s Shaky was the first time I had ever heard of a problem with phone theft, but apparently, it is a very common issue at these events.
2023 will be Shaky Knees’ 10th anniversary, which means it should be the greatest music festival of all time. I’ve made a list of ten artists/bands I would love to see make an appearance, ranging from who I believe to be most likely to least likely.
I wasn’t able to find all of them, but here are some of the setlists I heard over the weekend!
This was a band I was looking forward to seeing even though I wasn’t overly familiar with their music. I knew they were popular in the college radio scene, but I had no idea how great they would be live. Just listening to their stuff, you would not expect the crowd to be nearly as crazy as it was, but Hunny managed to get everybody off their feet and jumping around pretty effortlessly, which made for such a fun and memorable experience.
The final day of 2022’s Shaky Knees sent us off with some of the best acts of the weekend. After Saturday, my body was bruised beyond belief from all the mosh pits, and I couldn’t wait for more.
Day 2 of Shaky Knees was my most anticipated day of the weekend. Even though every day had a variety of artists I was dying to see live, Saturday took the cake pretty easily. The Regrettes, Amyl and The Sniffers, Japanese Breakfast, and King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard are some of my favorite bands out right now, and they were all playing on the same day. Not to mention they were leading up to industrial rock icons Nine Inch Nails, who would be headlining with a 90-minute set. Probably the biggest upset of the weekend was that Japanese Breakfast was on at the same time as King Gizz, making fans choose between two of the best acts at the festival, but I honestly don’t think you could go wrong either way.
This year’s Shaky kicked off on Friday, April 29 and lasted through Sunday, May 1. Even on the very first day, the lineup was already unreal. Not only did they have Pop-Punk legends Green Day headlining, the lineup also featured iconic bands like Godspeed You! Black Emperor and Spoon, up-and-comers like Faye Webster and Nilüfer Yanya, and so many others.
Just six months after their last festival, Shaky Knees is back again with yet another unbelievable lineup of artists. I have had the privilege of being granted another media credential for the weekend, and I will be sharing my daily coverage of the event and more right here on WUSC-FM’s blog.
