Some Things Last a Long Time at Foam Brewers, Saturday, May 2: Damn, it feels good to have too much music going on in and around Burlington on a single day. On Saturday, Burlington Odd Fellows in the New North End celebrated its anniversary with Assorted Fruit, Mr. Doubtfire and Phantom Suns. Over the bridge in Winooski, Standing Stone Wines hosted Breaking Windows, where rotary locals and fans of the late, great Waking Windows music festival were treated to WW regulars, including Blue Button, Sean Hood, Jesse Taylor and Missy Bly. But the weekend’s musical epicenter was at the Burlington waterfront: Foam Brewers celebrated its 10th anniversary with a three-day festival called Some Things Last a Long Time. Saturday’s slate started at 11 a.m. with DJ Kanganade. Then the High Breaks (pictured) played their controversial Smirk of the Dolphin album from start to finish, followed by sets from MC Matt Hagen, Wild Leek River, Bob Wagner and others. Capping the evening was the official bash at the Higher Ground Ballroom in South Burlington, headlined by indie favorites — and the namesake of Foam’s flagship IPA — Built to Spill, with local opener Lily Seabird. I couldn’t catch it all, but cheers to you if you did.
