WALLPAPER IN SPIN'S 12 BEST MOMENTS AT TREASURE ISLAND MUSIC FESTIVAL
Best Paternal Advice: Wallpaper.
Wallpaper's frontman Ricky Reed (aka multi-instrumentalist Eric Frederic) led his Oakland duo through energetic electro-R&B jams about getting wasted and getting it on, songs that became instant sing-alongs on his home turf. But while the suit 'n' tied crooner moved Saturday's enthusiastic early arrivers through the basics of pre-partying ("Gettin Drip'"), the merits of Two-Buck Chuck and dating models ("Ddd"), and teasingly offered birthday boys and girls "hella drugs and booze up at the merch booth," he also encouraged the crowd to carpool responsibly. "If you're going to have promiscuous sex, don't have it on the island," he quipped. "Have it on the bus, on the way back to your car."
REGGIE WATTS IS FEATURED IN SPIN'S 30 BEST AT CMJ
REGGIE WATTS
Hometown: Brooklyn
Sounds Like: If Al Green were a stand-up comedian who grew up during the golden age of hip-hop. Watts' set involves the comedian-singer improvising absurd, surreal comedy songs over his own looped beatboxing.
Recommended If You Like: Flight of the Conchords, Ween.
You should know: Watts was the opening act on Conan O'Brien's Legally Prohibited From Being Funny on Television tour.
