Indie rock bands will dominate 2014 celebration
The thunderous stomps of river dance and the drone of bagpipe rang in the lineup announcement for the 32nd annual St. Pat’s in Five Points, which will be held on March 15. The announcement event, held at Delaney’s Irish Pub, featured a performance from students at Rince na h’Eireann School of Irish Dance. If you missed it, the river dance troupe performs again on March 7 at the ceremonial green dying of the Five Points fountain. Musician Cameron Kloot closed the show with a solo on the bagpipes.
Here are the artists coming out to help celebrate one of Columbia’s most cherished traditions.
Manchester Orchestra — For a festival known for showcasing big name hard rock bands like Hinder and Chevelle, it’s a bit of a departure that indie rockers Manchester Orchestra will be headlining in 2014.
Minus the Bear — St. Pat’s keeps the indie train rolling with Minus the Bear. Ambient techno blips and beeps layered beneath nimble guitar and rolling bass make for a unique, jazzy experience.
Parmalee — Country rock band Parmalee reels the lineup back in for something Columbia’s more accustomed to: southern-tinged, CMT-ready vocals and warm, twangy gee-tar. Their hit song “Carolina” will make it up to an audience that may feel far from home with an Indie headliner.
