[...] silent disco events. The SD craze was all the rage throughout Europe and is slowly but surely invading the U.S. festival and live music scene. With Kuder’s upcoming move to Philadelphia, and Gayl’s to San Francisco, Silent Storm Sound [...]

thanks for the comments!

i’m not trying to sound like a hater– but i’m trying to give my opinion about the festy without just saying “it was fun!” of course i had a great time. for a first-year festy it was super organized, had a great crowd and great vibe overall. but i had a hard time reviewing it because i was comparing it to rothy the whole time. is it fair? eh probably not, but that’s where i was coming from when i wrote it. but you are correct- while i didn’t get to see every band there i can attest to the fact that passion pit threw down.

also- speaking on the drug scene note: something i didn’t mention in the review but did notice was the complete lack of nitrus. i’ve never been to a nitrus-free festy, and i do think it speaks to the potential that this festival has.

thanks for reading

Honestly one of the best festival experiences i’ve had in years. And i can honestly say i’ve been around the block. What i don’t understand is how you can rattle off all these local acts ( not to hate ) and not give any love to the bands that smashed it. For instance, Ghostland Observatory and Passion pit, threw down so hard, and what about the Mclovin’s. Like i get the illy western Ma love, but come on. If your gonna critique a festival you could be a little more in-depth and diverse about what you are criticizing. This festival was an absolute success and you should be proud to be part of it. Most festivals are way to saturated with the drug scene and never put enough emphasis on the music or the art. Nateva was one of the first great vibe festivals that didn’t have that stigma. It was a true happy birthday to all us, and If you missed that message, I’m truly sorry for you. Just to set the record straight… Flaming lips absolutely smashed it. And in addition if you enjoyed the silent disco,,,, what where the dj’s names again? just saying.

lol love the article. glad you were there. Keep up the positivity.

Jonny….of course you can compare the two. They are music festivals with some similar acts (jam bands) and are relatively new. Don’t be so snobbish…..a festival is a festival….there aren’t “real” ones and “fake” ones. get off your high horse.

while i don’t think that rothbury and nateva SHOULD be compared, i think that it’s inevitable that they will be compared. that’s why i was trying to relay with this review.

plus– both festies held on the 4th, with the headlining act being a derivative of the grateful dead, is just asking for comparisons.

just wondering… what exactly constitutes a “real’ festival? Are there rules that and requirements? Let’s not be snobbish. What you consider “good” music or a better festival is certainly a matter of opinion that does not mean a smaller venue is not a festival. That’s like saying theatre other than Broadway is not real theatre.
What’s with the hate?

You can’t compare Roth to nateva. Not on any level. Furthur is just a Dead knock off and they should retire. This is an amateur review. Go to a real fest like high Sierra or roo.
