“It doesn’t matter who’s on the bill, what year it is, or the name of the venue: When a person steps through the door of the End’s Deck the Hall Ball, they enter 10th grade. There’s something about the show’s format of pairing the new (Black Keys, Broken Bells) with the old (Cake, and a never-ending barrage of Sublime cuts between sets) that transforms people.”Read Chris Kornelis’ full review of Deck the Hall Ball.Photos by Graham Lee.Published on December 9, 2010
