It’s a band whose members seem to truly enjoy each other, and although some may argue that Two Door is just another euro-pop band, their sets, regardless of your opinion, all leave you with a smile on your face at the very end. It’s a group that manages to deliver incredibly well to the audience, effortlessly transmitting all their effort and emotion, all while keeping the connection intimate and real on stage.

After getting some well needed lunch (my dehydrated body needed it dearly), I sat down for interviews with both Steve Gunn and Cardiknox, the contents of which I will be posting in a couple of days. We were greeted in the press tent by the sound of The Record Company, a bluegrass outfit out of Los Angeles, treating us press folk with a 3 song set. The day began to the cheery tune of 96 degrees and humid, although the heat didn’t squash the excitement of the crowds pouring into the Centeroo that morning. Day 3 of Bonnaroo was a series of wild adventures:
