Kings Of Leon, Public Enemy, Macklemore Riding An Inflatable Whale, Chrissy Teigen On A Water Slide & More Reasons You Should REALLY Be At Hangout Fest

Posted 7 hours ago by in Music, Must See, Videos

I've been at Hangout Fest for two days so far, and my biggest complaint is that the three-day music festival on the Gulf Shores of Alabama (Google it, and then Google plane tickets, because this place is paradise) is just three days and not a week. So far, if you were here (and I was!), you caught Kendrick Lamar's roof-raising set, Kings Of Leon's life-affirming, South-reclaiming headlining Hangout set, The Roots flawlessly busting through "You Got Me" before covering GUNS N ROSES, Delta Rae's scorching-hot performance (seriously, these people are Southern rock salvation AND they covered Fleetwood Mac), Public Enemy making it rain old-school hip-hop on Alabama and, you know, stuff like Chrissy Teigen on a water slide! Because she's here, and why not?

Check out some of my favorite things that went down at Hangout Fest, and don't miss the third and final (sniff!) day of Hangout Fest -- we'll be streaming it live all day!

+ PUBLIC ENEMY PERFORMING "FIGHT THE POWER" AT HANGOUT FEST:

+ DELTA RAE PERFORMING "DANCE IN THE GRAVEYARD" AT HANGOUT FEST:

+ KINGS OF LEON PERFORMING "FANS" AT HANGOUT FEST:

+ KENDRICK LAMAR LEADING A CROWD OF THOUSANDS IN A CHANT OF "P**** AND PATRON"

11 Photos Of The Absolute Best Things People Wore At Hangout Fest

Posted 11 hours ago by in Must See, Photos

This is Malcom, he's from Florida, he's 22, he's wearing head-to-toe Spandex, and he confirmed that his Hangout Fest outfit is absolutely "hot as f***k."

Here are my three favorite things about festivals, in this order:

1.) Live music, duh.
2.) Shameless festival eating: Fish tacos, fried shrimp basket, funnel cake, repeat until food coma is reached.
3.) WEARING WHATEVER THE F*** YOU WANT!

Let's focus on that third one. I'm down here in Gulf Shores, Alabama at Hangout Fest (live music, gorgeous beaches, infectiously friendly folks, and fried shrimp -- so, basically, heaven on earth). It's day two of the fest, and in between shows like Delta Rae and Public Enemy (and tacos), my colleague, Gil Kaufman and I had a chance to comb the beautiful beaches of Gulf Shores, Alabama and scout out our favorite festival-goer outfits. Actually, they weren't hard to miss because, well, you'll see why. We snapped photos of the people doing it the rightest (and, in some cases, the tightest) in the festival fashion department, stepping it up from just "bathing suit and flip-flops" to, you know, half-naked superhero with vintage Nintendo Power Glove not seen since 1989, girl honoring the Earth by wearing full Native American regalia (oooookay), and guy in a skin-tight Spandex floral jumpsuit because WHY THE HELL NOT?

Mary and Todd are from New Orleans. they're dancers for Brassft Punk. Mary's a mummy, and Todd's wearing Speedos custom-made for Hangout. Now that's what I call commitment.

This is Leah, who dressed in a Native American headdress "because I was feelin' the Earth." As one does!

fashion3_chris22

Me: "Lemme guess.  You're a Flava Flav fan."

Chris, from Maryland: "F*** YEAH!"

fashion6_group1

Grouplove fans Kate, Jacob & Keenan, who MADE Kate's cape. If there were awards for Most Fun People At Hangout Fest, they'd win it, hands down.

Jacob & Keenan have matching tattoos that say "BFF" in the "Back To The Future" font. I wasn't kidding about the Most Fun People At Hangout Fest, was I?

Dude, Jacob has a VINTAGE NINTENDO POWER GLOVE! Are you LISTENING, Kanye West?

Watch Vinny Photobomb, Like, Everyone At Hangout Fest (VIDEO)

Posted 15 hours ago by in Celebrity, Music, Must See, Videos

vinny photobombing hangout fest

It's empirically true that everyone on the Internet (which is everyone I know) loves a good photobombing. And it's also widely agreed upon that celebrities photobombing is even more fun than regular photobombing. (Jennifer Lawrence, you have my utmost respect!) But if you wanna know what the most fun thing of all is? Trolling the beautiful beaches of Gulf Shores, Alabama with Vinny Guadagnino of "The Jersey Shore" and "The Show With Vinny" (some choice "Show With Vinny" quotes here at Remote Control, by the way) at Hangout Fest, asking the extremely kind festivalgoers (Seriously, the Hangout Fest's "Be nice or go home" motto is the truth -- people here are ultra nice, and it's starting to rub off on me) if I could take their picture, and then having Vinny pull a Kanye in front of the camera.

Twenty One Pilots Strap On A Camera At Hangout Fest & Show You What It Looks Like To Do A Backflip On Stage In Front Of Thousands Of People

Posted 5/18/13 12:16 am EST by in Celebrity, Live Performances, Music, Must See, Videos

twenty one pilots hangout festival

Twenty One Pilots bring the backflips to you at Hangout Fest.

The heat here on the beautiful sandy beaches of Gulf Shores is so intense that it's caused me to sweat in dark and impressive places, but this beach is so beautiful that I don't even care. (Thank GOD for those frozen lemonades -- I think they're saving lives out here.) Not to put too fine a point on it, but the sun really loves Alabama and live music so much that I’m pretty sure it’s elected to vacation here at Hangout Fest. But speaking of the heat here at Hangout Fest, there was no hotter scene at Day 1 of the three-day festival of surf, sun, beautiful beaches, beautiful people, and, most importantly, live music than the scene at Twenty One Pilots' performance in the Hangout Fest Boom Boom Tent.

Around this time last year, Twenty One Pilots was playing house shows. But the crowd they drew at Hangout Fest looked like this:

And it wasn't even lunch yet.

But did I mention that at this time this year, they're, you know, opening up for Fall Out Boy on their arena tour? Twenty One Pilots are definitely kind of a big deal. And if you've seen them perform hits like "Car Radio," "Holding On To You" and "Guns For Hands," you’re well aware that each song is like its own piece of pounding, passionate, adrenaline-packed performance art, blending Twenty One Pilots’ signature blend of skateboarding moves (minus the board), inadvisable yet perfectly executed daredevil acts like scaling scaffolding and backflipping off of drum rises, and melodic rap-rock post-punk moves that feel like younger, nimbler second comings of Zack De la Rocha and Anthony Kiedis. You’ve seen them drum simultaneously on trampolines hoisted up by audience members, right? And have you seen anyone else ever do that live? Right. No.

Watch Twenty One Pilots do a perfect backflip at the Hangout Fest, and watch their Hangout Fest performances after the jump!

Watch All Time Low's 'Buzzworthy Live' Acoustic Performance Of 'Backseat Serenade' (VIDEO)

Posted 5/8/13 1:02 pm EST by in Celebrity, Live Performances, Music, Must See, Videos

All Time Low performs Backseat Serenade on Buzzworthy Live

All Time Low strip down "Backseat Serenade" for their second "Buzzworthy Live" acoustic performance.

"Backseat Serenade"'s the type of song that feels like school's out forever, and All Time Low's the kind of band we wanna skip school with forever. Which is why we had the band -- whose fifth album, Don't Panic, shot to No. 1 late last year -- back to Buzzworthy for their second "Buzzworthy Live" acoustic performance. (Long-time All Time Low fans + stalkers alike may recall their unforgettable "Buzzworthy Live" acoustic performance of "For Baltimore" that the band shot back in October of 2012. All Time Low -- so nice we had 'em twice.)

Thirty Seconds To Mars' 'Up In The Air' Short Film: Make Art, Not War (VIDEO)

Posted 4/19/13 2:25 pm EST by in Celebrity, Music, Must See, Videos

thirty seconds to mars up in the air short film music video dita von teese

Thirty Seconds To Mars' Jared Leto wraps his hands around Dita Von Teese's neck in "Up In The Air."

Thirty Seconds To Mars' "Up In The Air" short film (not a music video -- it's more than 8 minutes long and has its own credits) is finally here, it's real, and it's spectacular. And if you ever longed for a Thirty Seconds To Mars short film/ non-music video/ visual experience with Dita Von Teese riding a pink mechanical bull in all-sequined everything (albeit very little of it), the U.S. Olympic gymnasts McKayla Maroney and Jordyn Wieber, the artist Maxwell Snow (HOT DUDE ALERT!), models Ashley Smith and Anastasia Krivosheeva, an entire zoo's worth of animals, taiko drummers, the USC fencing team, Damien Hirst's spot paintings, and Jared Leto with his absolute best hair since his "My So-Called Life" days, then you should check your astrological chart, and call your mom and thank her, because you were born under a lucky sign.
