California's dark, frenetic Plague Vendor kicked off the festival with a punk jolt to remember. Even while singing songs such as "No Bounty" and "Jezebel," vocalist Brandon Blaine pulled off stunt after stunt, convulsing through Jagger-esque dance moves and doing a handstand on drummer Luke Perine's kit. He used the whole stage and then some, spending a song or two in the photo pit and crowdsurfing during "Ox Blood."
