Thievery Corporation

The DJ introducing this set sums it up well: Thievery Corporation is a gypsy carnival, an amalgamation of whatever instruments, vocals, and ambient sounds the acid jazz-loving band members bring to the table.

If you're familiar with the 2004 "Garden State" soundtrack, then you've probably been entranced by Thievery Corporation's best-known song, "Lebanese Blonde," which was featured in the movie. In today's featured performance, that song (which was originally released as a single in 1998) is second on the setlist, beginning around 6:20 with the recognizable sitar riff. Most all their songs give the same flavor as the hashish-praising "Lebanese Blonde" -- a bass groove,  meaty and echo-y female vocals, and relaxed drum beats with elements of dub, bossa, and Middle Eastern. This is music to sit on the side of the hill and groove to, as they've proved with a few past Lolla performances, including the Brazil festival in 2012. Clearly, Perry Ferrall is a fan:
