It probably isn’t in a band’s best interest to start their set with a quiet number, especially as an opening act on a massive stage in the middle of a field. Actually, let’s rephrase that. It probably isn’t in a band’s best interest to start their set with a quiet number, unless they’re Hey Rosetta! The rousing six-piece hailing from St. John’s, Newfoundland played an incredible 45 minute set layered with tracks that were born to be played live. The set was built in parallel to the opening number; a subtle start building and growing into something massive. Use of not-so-traditional rock band instruments such as the piano and cello (yes, a cello) only add to this band’s uniqueness. The crowd ate it up from start to finish clapping along at any chance they got and most likely wishing the band could have stuck around for a few more songs.
