Matlock Records alums Test Tone Channel filled the diamond in the rough role for this year's festival. Although only a few people saw it, the quartet-turned-trio played beautifully, boasting a sound akin to bands like the Wooden Stars or the Sea and Cake. If the syncopated drumming and brainy guitar lines weren't enough, a bass player that plays keyboard parts with his feet should impress anyone.
