Eastern Conference Champions/Francisco the Man/Sego at Bootleg HiFi

Eastern Conference Champions. Yes!!! It was time for some Eastern Conference Champions.  I so hope that this band breaks out big time in the not so near future.  This band transitions so easily from the emotional laden to the rock pounding.  Moments during the set:  Melissa Dougherty's guitar strap broke.  So she quickly ran over to a guitar that Joshua Ostrander wasn't using at the moment and took that strap.  Later in the set when Joshua needed to use that guitar, he had no strap to use.  A guy from one of the other bands handed him over a guitar strap.  One problem, there is a height difference between the two guys, which caused some minor inconvenience for Joshua.  

Francisco the Man.  Has anyone ever gone to the beach and stood near the water's edge and allowed the tide to slowly remove the sand from around one's feet?  I'm sure all have.  For me, there is this feeling that I'm being slowly drawn into a thrill ride.  And that's the feeling one gets listening to Francisco the Man.  

Sego.  So I got approached twice before Sego took the stage.  One individual was their light guy.  He had set up different types of lights across the stage.  Another guy mentioned to me that he learned of Sego via a podcast.  He felt that they sounded like early Beck.  To me, they have an interesting eclectic sound that at times almost feels like a modified rap and at other times takes on the feel of a laid back jam.
