A collective of indie rock royalty, including Death Cab for Cutie's Ben Gibbard, Zooey Deschanel, Johnathan Rice, Jenny Lewis, and Nada Surf's Matthew Caws, took the stage at Denver's Manifest Hope Gallery last night to support Barack Obama at a party thrown by Moveon.org and Generation Obama during the Democratic National Convention.

Bonnaroo is a rather unexpected setting for the launching point of Person L, the new band from Kenny Vasoli, former frontman for beloved pop-punk act the Starting Line.

Despite the fact that the band used only 45 minutes of their allotted 75 minute timeslot, the energy and propulsion the Gainesville, FL punk band put behind their raucous performance was undeniable to everyone one the crowd -- even those who had clearly never heard of the sweat-drenched four-piece.

By the time Canadian duo Tegan and Sara launched into catchy hit "Walking With the Ghost" a few songs into their afternoon set at Bonnaroo on Friday, not only was the entire crowd singing along but they were understandably enraptured with the musicians.

At most festivals, a noon set time usually begets only a smattering of fans gathered around a stage, but at Bonnaroo, where patrons are up practicing yoga at 9 A.M., a midday slot isn't bad at all.
