Someone also guessed a band from Portland called Blind Pilot for the flying with eyes closed one.

Hey Garpo, do you mind if I update the first post?

Me and at least one other person on COS think that the "Bandits" hint is really RX Bandits. But maybe that is because I have a single track mind. Theivery Corp would work too but I feel like a hint for Theivery Corp would have included something pertaining more to the "corporation" part. Then again, RX Bandits could have an obious pharmecutical reference. There is also Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution but I wouldn't count on them being at any fest this year.

If it was RX Bandits, they would have used a synonym for the word "bandit".  Thievery Corporation seems more like than the gypsie's from Gogol, but either works.  Did Gogol play last year?

Yeah I kind of agree. But that was the first thing that jumped out to me. For whatever reason, I think it is a very lame reference to Theivery Corp, if it is them.

Oops! What'd I do? I didn't do it! It wasn't me!
