» For the second No Rest Fest, organized by Jared Paolini, Lesser Gonzalez Alvarez was making and selling supreme pizza, Teenage Souls blew away the uninitiated with insanely fast and precise drumming coupled with catchy noise tracks, Dustin Wong's solo material came off without a hitch live, some slept peaceably during Jenny Graf's set and may have experienced colorful dreams while Smarts served as the official Halftime show, a hefty rock set in the middle of an otherwise droney evening.
