Last weekend, The String Cheese Incident hosted and performed seven sets at their annual Suwannee Hulaween festival, taking over the famed Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park in Live Oak, FL for the occasion. Hulaween is always a highlight of musical Halloween celebrations, and this year’s festival was no exception.
Among the many stand out sets from Hulaween (which will be covered in our full review), one was certainly the Stringier Things production by SCI. The name of the game was 80’s music, as the band spent an entire set covering classics from that decade. The song choices crossed the boards of different genres, ranging from the synth pop of “She Blinded Me With Science” to the hard rock of “Sweet Child O’ Mine.” The whole thing ended with an 80’s medley, complete with fireworks on a portion of Talking Heads’ “Burning Down The House.”
Fortunately, we can re-listen to this classic String Cheese performance, courtesy of taper tonedeaf (stevetoney1@hotmail.com). Check it out below.
The String Cheese Incident will spend the rest of the year off of the road, excluding a three-night run at the 1STBANK Center in Broomfield, CO to celebrate New Year’s Eve. Check out the Stringier Things setlist below.
