Seven Non-Headlining Bands We Can't Wait to See at Monolith this Weekend

The Monolith festival begins at Morrison, Colo.'s breathtakingly gorgeous Red Rocks Amphitheatre this Saturday. Paste will be on-site covering the event, which features a stellar lineup of artists including The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Girl Talk, Of Montreal, The Mars Volta, Method Man & Redman, M. Ward, The Walkmen, Phoenix, Passion Pit and Doom.

The band swelled from Hutchinson's side project to a four-piece, a fitting reflection of their delicately stacking song structures. Their live record, Liver, Lung, FR!, is a demonstration of their subdued side, but no facades here. Frightened Rabbit in concert is much like having a beer with a best friend. Their most endearing characteristic to look for will be their genuine delivery of lines like, "You won't find love in a whore."
